## Description

Review: SD02 works great with Type B / MHDA thumbsticks - This is a review for the type B compatible SD02 version of the thumbsticks. In short, they worked great for me. The install and calibration can be done in less than 10 minutes. You'll probably have to calibrate them with the button on the back of each joystick before putting the cover back on, but it's not a huge issue. The container they shipped in also works well to store the original thumbsticks. I wouldn't have minded if you had to solder the caps on, but it does save you a couple of minutes if you ever have to swap back in your old sticks for whatever reason, plus you get a spare set of caps. My left stick's calibration was perfect from the box, but my right one was off a little bit. I had no weird issues with deadzones after calibrating, or with other issues people had with the previous version such as the sticks grinding / scratching / sticking, or the motion not being smooth. If I had to pick a "negative" it would be that one stick is was switched to A and one stick was switched to B from the factory. You should be inspecting this anyway before installing, but I'm sure someone will leave a one star review eventually mentioning the gyro not working correctly. Assuming they hold up over time these are a great replacement for the stock thumbsticks. Just don't expect them to make you a better gamer.
Review: Great and easy to install - My sticks started drifting so I picked these up. They were very easy to install and seem high enough quality. They needed a little breaking in at first but they seem good now. Recommended!

## Features

- Gulikit Electromagnetic Module joystick (New model: SD02), designed to perfectly fit Steam Deck Type A and Type B. The included converter allows you to easily select the TYPE you want. (‘Settings → System → Steam Deck Controller ID’, ‘MEDA’ is Type A, ‘MHDA’ is Type B), [Not compatible with OLED version].
- Bid farewell to stick drift, creeping, stuttering, blind spots, non-centered, broken, and loose joysticks with GuliKit's patented 3D Hall Effect Sensor joystick.
- No need to worry about soldering, the joystick comes with installation caps that preserve Steam Deck's original touch functionality. If you experience stuck joystick issues, it is due to the cap that comes pre-installed and came loose during shipping. You only need to press the cap vertically down in the center position to use it normally.
- Select the Type A or Type B mode on the joystick board, enter the joystick calibration interface on Steam Deck and press the tiny switch on the joystick board if the spot is off the center position. (Follow the installation and calibration steps in our product description picture).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does my joystick have strange resistance or some abnormal noise?**
A: This may be because the non-integrated caps became loose during transportation. It can usually be repaired by pressing down vertically with a little force on the center of the joystick cap.

**Q: Why are the joysticks slightly uncentered in the joystick calibration page?**
A: The ALPS joystick used by SD has an accuracy of ±5 degrees in the center, GuliKit joystick has an ±3 degrees. Therefore under no dead zone, the joystick may not return to the center exactly each time. It’s normal and will not affect the experience.

**Q: What should I pay attention to before installation?**
A: 1) Remove your SD card. 2) Confirm that your joystick model is Type A or Type B, and switch the type on the board buttons first. 3) It is best to find relevant video and follow them step by step. 4) Don’t hurt yourself when using tools.

**Q: What is the relationship between GuliKit and AKNES?**
A: We are the exclusive agent of GuliKit. There are different sellers currently selling. AKNES, focusing on the products we provide, also attaches great importance to buyer services. You can search (AKNES) everywhere to see what we're doing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great and easy to install

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fit perfectly, no drifting.
*by G***Y on April 8, 2025*

Super easy to install, didn't even have to calibrate after install. They were pretty well calibrated, no drifting, no issues. Perfect direct replacement. Just have to install them into the correct position (Left and right stick position). I personally, feel they are an upgrade from the OEM sticks (OEM potentiometers) to installed (electromagnetic). I feel they have a better response time, of course calibrate after install, but I feel they also move smoother.
