Steam Deck OLED Upgrade ( Handheld DIY hall effect joy sticks) - Complete Guide & Review

[@AishTalksTech]

What do you think, are you going to be picking some up ?

[@GameTechTalk]

Woop woop! Aish is back, let's gooooo!!

[@AishTalksTech]

It took too long 😆 But hopefully things run smoothly from now on.

[@cherylin4u]

Perfect as usual! Look forward to your new review😍😍

[@AishTalksTech]

Thank you I appreciate the support 😁

[@crystal_is_cozy]

Oooh, juicy. It looks scary to replace them. Really glad that this is an option for when my sticks start to go

[@AishTalksTech]

It's really easy to do, pretty much just replace remove a few screws and press a couple buttons

[@cho-v4n]

Nice ! Thanks Aish 🙂

[@Grimlo9ic]

Gonna wait for reviews of both this and the upcoming Gulikit ones.

[@AishTalksTech]

I'm waiting on the gulikit one but I'll have a video up as soon as I get them.

[@michaelbenny659]

Tech isn’t being talked, it’s being done

[@AishTalksTech]

That's like poetry man

[@gdpiscopo]

I have the LE OLED. Do you know if it would be possible to keep my orange thumb sticks and slap them onto one of these models?

[@AishTalksTech]

You would have to switch the caps and solder the cable for the capacitive touch

[@retrobear9367]

Are the caps swappable? I see a wire up in there. Wasn't sure

[@AishTalksTech]

Not unless you're comfortable soldering new ones

[@jonathanvandenberg3571]

I think your right analog is not centered

[@AishTalksTech]

I had to go back and redo it but I figured that would just extend the video for no real reason.

[@nadeemalherbawi353]

i am confused how they say it is first while Gulikit Hall Effect has been available for sometime?

[@AishTalksTech]

I think they announced it first for the oled deck but gulikit beat them to retail

[@Kazoid73]

The biggest issue with the gulikit hall effect sticks is the square outer deadzone, do these ones also have the same issue? Would be nice to see a comparison

[@AishTalksTech]

I'm waiting on a set of gulikit sticks to compare, these also register in a square but that's what you want.

[@Kazoid73]

@@AishTalksTech what makes you say that a square outer zone is what we want? Wouldn't it reach 100% input value before reaching the edges of the joystick for diagonal inputs?

[@AishTalksTech]

@@Kazoid73 because most controllers if not all are made with a square input area so games are developed with that in mind.

[@Kazoid73]

@@AishTalksTech oh interesting I wasn't aware. Although the stock joysticks have a circular deadzone so I imagine the device being optimised as such. I just tested my Xbox controller on pc and it also has a circular zone 🤷

[@AishTalksTech]

@@Kazoid73 did you go on gamepad tester ? xbox controllers usually draw a square outside of the cicle, from what ive read everything past the cicle is considered 100% input. I think The phawx has a whole video on this.

[@specialfred453]

So, the GuliKit hall effect steamdeck sticks don't work on the OLED model?

[@AishTalksTech]

The current ones no, but from what I understand they're working on some.

[@lavirix2490]

​@@AishTalksTech did you ever get around to using them? I have the gullikit for oled and kind of dislike them, ordered this pair and waiting to see if I prefer them.

[@SirBeelz]

Is it possible to replace the caps with the original ones? I have the limited edition oled so I want to preserve those orange caps if possible

[@AishTalksTech]

Unfortunately I'm not sure but once I have the retail versions I'll be sure to post an update.

[@audecosta]

is it compatible with SD lcd version?

[@AishTalksTech]

Unfortunately these are not but there are other options on the website for the regular steam deck
