My left stick started to drift, and I might as well get hall effect sticks as replacement

anyone got recommendations?

(LCD version)

    A lot of stick drift is actually caused by debris or sticky residue in the thumbstick housing, I’ve fixed stick drift on a lot my personal controllers just by spraying some plastic-safe electric cleaner spray in around the drifting stick.

    That said, I did replace the sticks on my OLED deck because the capacitive pad came off. I used a set of Gulikit Hall Effect sticks, and they’ve worked pretty well.

    I have heard that some of their older stick designs had issues like square dead zones, not sure if that’s still an issue. I know they improved their LCD stick designs so that you no longer have to solder anything or buy different products depending on if you have type A or type B sticks.
