GuliKit, a popular manufacturer of premium game accessories has revealed a lot of information about its "Hall Joystick for Joy-Con."
This upgrade kit, according to the company, will be the best solution for the drift problem of Joy-Cons in Nintendo Switch.
GuliKit Hall Effect Joystick Upgrade Kit
According to a Japanese online news website Automaton, GuliKit has released a special replacement part for the Joy-Con analog stick dubbed "Hall Joystick."
While it's intended for a Nintendo Switch, it should be noted that this does not count as an official Nintendo product.
GuliKit says that it's replaceable and can save more power compared to the power usage of the usual Nintendo stick. The best thing about it is how it uses its Hall element in recognizing the stick maneuvers of a gamer.
The typical Joy-Con features an analog stick that usually collides with the metal brush component. However, the GuliKit sensors avoid the drift by not allowing any physical contact to take place inside.
It's been a tough battle for Switch users to overcome the drifting issue on the controllers. It's usually annoying to the point that the stick will perform sudden operations without getting touched.
Nintendo Joy-Con Lawsuit
This problem has become a headache for many handheld gamers to the point that some wanted to sue Nintendo for under-engineering this product.
Some players believe that Nintendo has a better solution to entirely stop this from happening, yet it chose to avoid addressing the problem. Others think that the main reason why Joy-Con drift arises is because of dust accumulation in the interior part of the controller.

How Much is the GuliKit Hall Effect Joystick Kit
It's interesting to see how companies arrive at such brilliant ideas to keep up with the concerns of the users.
Some users say that disassembling a Joy-Con could solve the problem, yet it continues to happen. That's why it's hard to find the best solution to this misery.
According to Notebookcheck, what GuliKit offers right now can be bought separately with the KingKong 2 Pro. With this, you can now say goodbye to the mechanical wear that might damage your controller and bring the drift issue.
At the moment, the GuliKit Hall Effect upgrade kit is now accessible across the US, the UK, and Europe.
