GuliKit Launches Electromagnetic Joystick Upgrade for ROG Xbox Ally Handhelds While reports of stick drift have not yet surfaced for the ROG Xbox Ally, the potential for this common controller ailment remains. For gamers who want to proactively ensure their joysticks remain precise, accessory maker GuliKit has unveiled a new upgrade. The company has released its latest TMR Electromagnet Joystick Modules designed specifically for the Asus ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X handhelds. GuliKit states it collaborated directly with Asus to engineer these replacement modules. They are built to match the exact dimensions of the stock joysticks in both Ally models, ensuring a direct fit. This is not GuliKit’s first venture into Ally upgrades, as it previously offered a Hall effect joystick kit for the Ally X. However, the company claims this new electromagnetic version represents a step forward. According to GuliKit, the TMR technology not only aims to eliminate the potential for stick drift but also offers improvements in precision, durability, and power efficiency compared to traditional joystick mechanisms. A key selling point for the mod is its accessibility for users. GuliKit designed the upgrade to be a solder-free installation process, allowing owners to replace the joysticks themselves. After installation, calibration can be fine-tuned directly within the handheld’s own system settings, making the setup straightforward. Investing in an aftermarket upgrade for a premium handheld, which can cost up to a thousand dollars, might seem like an extra step. However, neither the ROG Xbox Ally nor the Ally X ships with drift-resistant joystick technology like Hall effect or electromagnetic sensors as standard. This upgrade offers a preemptive solution for players concerned about long-term joystick reliability. The GuliKit electromagnetic joystick module for the ROG Xbox Ally is now available for purchase in the United States. It is listed on the company’s Amazon storefront for a price of nineteen dollars and ninety-nine cents.
