GuliKit just dropped a slick, low-cost upgrade for ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X owners: official TMR anti-drift joysticks for $19.99. These plug-and-play modules promise a smoother feel and longer lifespan and no stick drift.
GuliKit TMR joysticks aim to outlast traditional parts
While the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X haven’t seen widespread drift issues yet, they still ship with traditional potentiometer sticks the same tech that’s prone to wear and miscalibration over time. GuliKit’s solution swaps those out with its newer TMR (Tunnel Magneto Resistance) technology.
The company already made waves with Hall effect replacements, but these TMR sticks take things a step further. They eliminate physical contact inside the module, meaning no friction, no wear, and no drift. Input is not only more stable but also more precise.
GuliKit TMR joysticks are made for easy installation
You won’t need a soldering iron or repair experience here. These modules were co-designed with Asus, and that collaboration shows. Each joystick:
- Matches the original dimensions
- Installs without soldering
- Requires only a quick calibration
- Works with both ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X
It’s a true swap-and-play solution. Pop the old ones out, slot these in, and you’re done.
GuliKit TMR joysticks sharpen input for ROG Xbox Ally users
Beyond longevity, precision is the real win. TMR sensors read input changes more cleanly than Hall effect models, which already had an edge over analog sticks. For competitive players or anyone who’s sensitive to input feel, that matters.
Even if you’re not dealing with drift yet, this mod could keep it that way and make your inputs smoother in the process.
GuliKit TMR joysticks hit the sweet spot for price and performance
At $19.99, the upgrade doesn’t sting. And since the Ally and Ally X are premium handhelds, it makes sense to swap in sticks that can actually keep up.
Stick drift may not be knocking at your door yet but this is how you make sure it never does.
