Hall Joysticks On Switch Pro Controller

[octopus]

In case anyone is still looking for replacement joysticks, I think I've found a suitable part, new TMR joysticks from GuliKit:

Be careful about buying from other sources, the first version which was PS4/Switch Pro didn't actually work on Switch Pro controller.
Calibrated fine, the movement range seems to be circular, the deadzone non-existent. Confirmed working on Switch and Steam Deck.
For some reason can't get the controller properly detected on Windows / Steam, but works just fine in Yuzu.
Joystick caps are detachable and they seem to have an anti-friction insert on the stem of the thumbstick, appears to be metal, which should prevent the stem from grinding against the circular gate.
Tentatively recommend.

Hi everyone! I can fully confirm that the cheap hall effect modules for the switch pro controller you find on AliExpress are working. The sticks worked right after soldering but if you calibrate them using the Switch Calibration Tool, they will be dead center and you will be able to turn the dead-zone all the way to zero. I have documented my full journey here . The specific modules I installed had an orange color and read "L-4J" printed on the PCB.
