GuliKit Launches Anti-Drift TMR Joysticks for Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 Controllers
GuliKit has released a new pair of TMR replacement joysticks designed for the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 controllers, giving players a cheaper and more durable alternative to buying entirely new controllers.
Although the Joy-Con 2 controllers introduce updated features for Nintendo’s latest console, they still rely on traditional analog potentiometer joysticks. Over time, this type of joystick can wear down and may eventually develop stick drift, a frustrating issue where the controller registers movement even when the thumbstick is not being touched.
GuliKit’s new TMR joysticks aim to solve that problem with electromagnetic sensing technology. Unlike standard analog sticks, the TMR design is contactless, meaning there is no physical friction inside the joystick mechanism during use. Because there is less wear over time, the risk of stick drift is greatly reduced.
For Nintendo Switch 2 owners, this could be a practical long-term fix. Instead of replacing a full Joy-Con 2 controller when drift appears, users can swap out the original thumbsticks for GuliKit’s upgraded modules. The company has also designed the replacement process to be more accessible, as the installation does not require soldering.
The GuliKit TMR Joystick for Joy-Con 2 is sold as a pair, including both left and right thumbsticks. Pricing is set at $19.99 in the United States, €19.99 in Europe, and £16.99 in the United Kingdom. The replacement kit is currently available in the US, UK, Germany, and the Netherlands, with listings also appearing in France, Italy, and Spain, although availability may vary by region.
For those who prefer a guided repair process, replacement tutorials are available online showing how to remove the original Joy-Con 2 thumbsticks and install the GuliKit TMR modules. Some repair-focused retailers also offer the joysticks separately or in bundles that include the tools needed for installation.
The release of GuliKit’s TMR joysticks gives Nintendo Switch 2 users a useful option if they want smoother control, better durability, and stronger resistance against stick drift. At a much lower price than buying new Joy-Con 2 controllers, the upgrade may be especially appealing to players who use their console heavily and want to extend the life of their hardware.
