Those of us who had the original Nintendo Switch will probably have awful memories of the sticks drifting as I did….on multiple occasions.
The Switch 2 uses similar technology and so stick drift could unfortunately be a thing in the future for some folks.
To this end, Gulikit have released the TME Joysticks for use with the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con 2 as replacements for the Nintendo-installed thumb-sticks. These are designed for repair use, and so there will be a requirement to take apart your Joy-Con 2 should you wish to install them, although once you do, the only drifting you’ll be doing is in Mario Kart!
From the website:
● 100% installable, perfect replacement, drop in with no hassles .
● TMR Electromagnetic Sensor, with A Simpler And More Reliable Joystick Structure.
● TMR sensing contactless mechanism, no wear and tear, anti-stick drift and durable .
● Highly precise response, no carbon film joystick jittering issue .
● The kit is only for repair use. Please make sure you have repair skills before you purchase and use .
GuliKit today announced the global launch of its Joy-Con 2 TMR magnetic replacement Joystick set, the world’s first replacement joystick for Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 to feature anti-drift magnetic TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) technology.
Designed specifically for Joy-Con 2, the new joystick set offers a high-precision, anti-drift solution for players seeking a longer-lasting and more reliable alternative to traditional carbon film joystick modules.
Stick drift has long been one of the most common issues faced by Nintendo Switch players. The original Joy-Con relied on traditional carbon film joystick modules, which are prone to wear over time and can eventually lead to drift and unstable input.
To address this, GuliKit previously introduced the world’s first Hall Effect replacement thumb stick for Joy-Con, bringing anti-drift electromagnetic joystick technology to the market and earning strong recognition from players worldwide.
Building on that success, GuliKit later upgraded its first-generation Joy-Con replacement joystick with next-generation TMR technology, delivering improved precision, less power consumption and better stability. The upgraded version also introduced interchangeable thumb stick caps in black, red, white, and blue, offering players both better performance and more customization options.
Although Joy-Con 2 introduces new hardware, it still uses traditional carbon film joystick modules, meaning stick drift remains a potential issue over time. Drawing on years of experience in electromagnetic joystick development, GuliKit now brings its latest TMR technology to Joy-Con 2 with the launch of the Joy-Con 2 TMR Replacement Joystick Set.
Built as a true 1:1 replacement for the original joystick module, the set installs using the same structure and dimensions as the original, requiring no soldering or circuit modification. Users can simply replace the original joystick following the standard installation process and complete calibration within the Switch 2 system.
Powered by advanced TMR sensor technology, the joystick set delivers anti-drift performance, longer lifespan, higher precision, better stability, and lower power consumption. It effectively prevents stick drift and jitter caused by wear in traditional carbon film potentiometer, delivering a more stable, precise, and responsive gaming experience.
As a leading force in the global electromagnetic joystick industry, GuliKit designs and manufactures all of its joystick modules in-house through fully automated production facilities. Its core joystick technologies are independently developed and protected by global patents.
The company holds dozens of patents across major markets including the United States, Europe, Japan, and China, establishing a strong global intellectual property portfolio.
Today, GuliKit is one of the world’s largest manufacturers and solution providers for electromagnetic joysticks. In addition to its own gaming products, the company also supplies joystick components, technical solutions, and full manufacturing services to major gaming hardware brands such as Corsair, Scuf, ROG, and many more, continuing to drive innovation across the gaming industry.
Product Highlights
Designed Specifically for Joy-Con 2
The GuliKit Joy-Con 2 TMR Replacement Joystick Set is designed exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2, ensuring precise compatibility with the latest controller structure.
True 1:1 Drop-in Replacement
The module matches the original joystick in size and internal structure, allowing for direct 1:1 drop-in replacement without any circuit modification.
Installation follows the same process as replacing the original joystick, making repairs easier and more accessible for users. Once installed, a quick system calibration inside Switch 2 completes the setup.
Next-Generation TMR Electromagnetic Joystick Technology
Unlike traditional carbon film joysticks, TMR joysticks operate using a non-contact sensing method, significantly reducing physical wear and extending overall lifespan.
This results in smoother movement, higher precision, and improved long-term stability while effectively preventing stick drift and stick jitter caused by worn carbon film components.
Compared with Hall Effect joysticks, TMR technology also offers higher sensitivity, better stability, and lower power consumption helping improve battery efficiency for Joy-Con 2.
Advanced Magnetic Interference Protection
Joy-Con 2 uses a magnetic snap-on attachment system with built-in magnets, creating unique challenges for joystick stability and anti-interference performance.
To solve this, GuliKit developed a dual-layer anti-magnetic interference design:
1. Optimized Internal Structure
Using computer magnetic field simulation tool, GuliKit redesigned the internal structure to position the TMR sensor farther away from the console’s magnetic components.
2. Alloy Housing Shielding
The outer housing uses iron-based alloy materials to provide additional shielding against external magnetic interference.
This dual-protection approach ensures performance equivalent to the original joystick, with no functional impact from the console’s magnetic structure.
Real-world testing confirms that after installation and calibration, the joystick performs just like the original—stable, accurate, and fully reliable.
