indeed, have modded a pair of joycons with aknes's ones and actually seldom use them, for the following reasons:
1) The tension is too soft
2) joystick-buttons are too soft too (it's a fucking nightmare when they trigger by mistake in the heat of a battle in Zelda games for instance)
3) the coating is not as sticky as the OG ones, so thumbs tend to slide off at the worst moment. I've tried using the covers they provide, They are more of a workaround than an actual solution: they make the joysticks larger, higher, and they tend to slip off anyway (and they are hideous).
I'd like to swap out aknes's HE joysticks for some other thirdparty's HE joysticks that better mimick OG ones. Any advice please?
Hey all, new here. Took the plunge and bought a set of the latest gulikit offering a couple of weeks ago through AKNES' aliexpress site (die to not being able to find the store on Amazon Australia), arrived and fitted last night.
I'm quite happy with them, the tension is actually a touch stiffer than the original sticks, and the caps actually seem to be marginally larger in diameter as well.
Definitely have not found the stick buttons too soft (in my case, the trigger for replacement was that one of my original joycon stick buttons more or less crapped out and wouldn't press properly), and I seem to have gotten the 'good' caps, because Im finding the feel and texture to be the same as the originals, or near enough to.
I did use one of the sets of caps from the different coloured cap box (not the covers, just the caps), because I decided to go with white caps on my white controllers, so that might have had an effect.
Post automatically merged:
My usage so far has been on ToTK, so a decent general workout, definitely no complaints here.
AKNES, do you know if these sticks csn be used on some of the 3rd party controllers as well?
I bought a set of 3rd party controllers as a spare, and one of those already has drift sadly.
