[Discussion] Elecgear Hall effect joysticks are clearly better then their GuliKit counterpart (lemmy.world)

Bought the GuliKit Hall effect sensors sticks as soon as they released. Loved the (almost) zero dead zone and their drift resistance.
But I quickly realized, that the GuliKit sticks have a square ouput zone, which makes them borderline unusable in first person games, as they reach their max output way before they reach their physical movement limits. That makes aiming horrible.

Yesterday I found out that a new player has entered the Hall effect stick game, Elecgear. I ordered them and put them into my Steam Deck, as they have a circle zone, the same as the original OEM sticks do. They feel SO much better because of that.

So If you want to change your sticks, I highly recommend the Elecgear ones over thei GuliKit counterpart.

Hey. I gave my LED version with the Elec Sticks to a friend of mine, as I bought myself an OLED Deck.

I really liked them though, as there is almost a 0 deadzone and (more importantly) a round one.

My friend also likes them, as he didn't want me to switch them back to the OEM sticks.
