I installed mine yesterday, I think they made a pretty big difference. Mine were like yours "perfectly fine" but I've noticed that while the return to exact centre is basically the same as the OEM sticks... the accuracy when off center (aiming in an fps for instance) is much more precise. I've played about 4 hours with the new sticks now and when I took breaks, I'd be like... man I'm finding this game so much easier, like aiming is no longer an issue... I used to overshoot my target, then go to adjust and undershoot, then overshoot etc. etc. Now I find I am much more bang on target. (and it's days gone which I know is third-person, but same diff and I have over 200 hours on the game with several play throughs, and I swapped mid-play through so it's not like my skills just improved in the last 4 hours)

Good honest review! I had a bad module with a lot of play before it has some tension, can't get a replacement from seller, so be careful where you buy these. Also the stick's material quality is a lot worse, it's just hard plastic in stead of the rubbery original ones.
@gzaos 4 ай бұрын
Well don't feel too bad, the rubbery part on the original will fail (2 years of use for mines) and the outer rubber ring will free rotate annoyingly. At least hard plastic will last longer.

TL;DR you won't see much difference between a HALL effect and a new OEM potentiometer. But over time, the HALL sensor should work well for longer. So having dealt with HALL effect sensors for flight sim gaming, I can shed some light. The return to center is an effect of the gimbal mechanism, NOT the sensor. At least on a new device. The main advantage of HALL effect is a more consistent input along travel and resistance to wear/contamination (dust). Typical potentiometers will lose center and accuracy as they wear and get contaminated. This is because they use physical contact. HALL sensors measure the relative change in orientation of the magnetic field of a magnet (without contact), where potentiometers (the stock sticks) physically touch two wires together, sliding one along the other, and measuring the change in resistance to estimate position. This is why you have to do this weird calibration thing. When the magnet is put in place, it can be in any orientation. The software has to decide what position is center. And unless the hardware you're putting it in knows this, the input has to intervene and translate it into familiar data for the steam deck or console.

Calibrating on the Nintendo Switch was much easier with the Nintendo-built-in calibration setting. These are a pain to do with the small dot, even on the OLED model ones., still tho they feel miles better then the standard ones but do feel a bit sticky , maybe I need to wear them in to get that feeling to go away
@aarepelaa1142 14 күн бұрын
Are they less stiff than the normal steamdeck joysticks? That's one thing I think could make them worth it if my steamdeck joysticks ever get the drift badly.
@kensik Жыл бұрын
been waiting for someone to do install the new ones.
@majorgnu Жыл бұрын
I get the impression that the centering issue is not an accuracy problem with the sensor, but with the physical centering of the sticks themselves. Is it not normal for sticks like these to have a tiny bit of play in the center? Maybe they'd need some lubing or stronger springs to get perfectly centered every time.
@steamdeckguy Жыл бұрын
Yeah I think you might be right, although there is no play with these. If you move them slightly it will register as movement which does make them more precise. It’s just that they don’t always return to the exact centre as expected. With a deadzone of around 3000 it’s not an issue
@freevbucks8019 Жыл бұрын
@@steamdeckguy On every controller I had I find there's at least 98-99% accuracy. The joysticks pick up the movements in between each spring just fine
@breather8758 10 ай бұрын
I'm thinking about buying these because a couple of times one of my sticks started to drift and so I had to open up my steam deck and use compressed air to blow out the dust out the stick. Worked liked new but I would prefer the drift chance to be lowered to almost zero. I do travel so this is a must have from what I can see and experienced. I can't open up the Deck with no tools ikr?

Kinda an unrelated topic but Honestly this needs more attention. The steam deck has a huge issue with getting a black screen where device works but the screen just doesn’t. Everyone on reddit is reporting this issue and all valve does is replace it than actually do something to fix this issue. I wasn’t lucky they wanted to charge me 145 to fix the deck even though it’s they’re fault for the faulty hardware.

@steamdeckguy Жыл бұрын
I think the physical button makes the biggest difference. if say, its a mm over to the left, then you have to move it 2mm to the left and then press the button. When you release the joystick it should go back the centre. This is the part which found the most fustrating and I wish is was automatic
