What is the difference between "made from new" and "made from refurbished" Joy-Con controllers you make?

Both look and function the same! New sets are made from brand new, out-of-the-box original Joy-Cons. Refurbished ones are made from fully tested Joy-Cons we fit into a brand new shell with new quality buttons and analog sticks. We believe perfectly good tech is being tossed away all the time and that's really not good for the environment or our future. Why not take a perfectly good, fully functional device and repurpose it into a brand new one with internals that have a story? :) Imagine all the awesome gameplay that set has experienced. Oh, the stories it could tell.

What if I experience any issues, including drift after your 60-day warranty?

The most important thing for us is that you're happy with your order. We use brand new analogues and test every set a few times to minimize any chance of drift and make sure everything is working perfectly before it's neatly packaged so any issue is very unlikely. If you still experience any issue, please contact us since we're always here to help. If your 60-day warranty has ended, we will still replace the part and test your set again for the cost of only shipping and parts. It should be around ~$15 (domestic).

Do you take custom orders?

We live for those :) Yes, of course. If you're looking at our shop listings' pictures and still can't find that exact something yet, tap "Contact Seller" and let us know what you have in mind. We love to talk to gamer friends and think of creative ways to build new controller designs for you.

How long will it take to ship my order?

We work hard to meet our processing time. However, if there is an unexpected increase in order numbers, we might take a little longer. We are always on top of the schedule so please look into your order confirmation for processing times because we always update it accordingly. If your order takes longer to process, we'll of course notify you and also upgrade you to priority shipping. (It's on us in the US.)

I bought the Joy-con with the LED modded buttons (not the Player LED mod), how do I turn on my Joy-Con LED mod lights?

Controlling your Joy-Con LED mod is simple and done with the SL+SR buttons: 1. Turn on/off: Press and hold the SL+SR buttons for 5 seconds. 2. Change colors: When the LEDs are on, each press on SL+SR will skip between Red, Green, Blue, Lime, Pink, Violet, Teal, fade in/out cycle (through all the colors) and blinking cycle (through all the colors). Play with the different options until you find the one you love. The LEDs are powered by the Joy-Con’s battery, so no need to charge them separately. As long as your controllers are charged, you’re good to go. ** If you've purchased Joy-Con with the Player LED Mod, please note, the Player LED Mod is on the Joy-Con side rail and only replaces the original green LEDs that's in all Joy-Con.

Can I send my own Joy-Con to be modded and will that reduce the cost for me?

Yes, we definitely offer a send-in modding service :) Please tap “Contact Seller” and let us know what mod you’d like. We will send you a custom order link and where to ship your Joy-Cons to. Please make sure you wrap them well (preferably in bubble wrap). Since we use your own Joy-Con, the cost for you will be lower and varies according to which mod you choose.

Will the Joy-Cons fit the new Switch OLED?

Yes, of course. All our Joy-Con mods fit/are fully compatible with the new Nintendo Switch OLED.

No more drift.
Choose these Drift-Free Gulikit analogue sticks as an upgrade to any custom Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons you buy from our shop.

These black analogues can only be added to custom Joy-Cons you add to your cart (and can not be ordered as a stand-alone item.)

Once you add them to your Joy-Con order, we will build them with the upgrade already assembled and ready to play.

The Switch Joy-Cons’ drift issue has been a pitfall of the iconic controllers since they were introduced. Depending on play style, after some time of use, the material and design of their analogue sticks can be worn out and cause unknown liquids, dust, or residues inside which result in connection failures, performance degradation, and drifting.

What Are TMR Hall-Sensing Analogues?

To solve drifting on controllers, Guli Tech has designed new sticks utilizing electromagnetic technology. Instead of carbon film material used in original Switch analogue sticks, the new electromagnetic sticks utilize Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) technology for position sensing in a controller's analogue stick. This is a more recent advancement in analogue stick technology, often presented as an alternative or upgrade to traditional potentiometer-based sticks and Hall effect sticks. TMR technology is a further evolution of magnetic sensing. It relies on the principle of quantum tunneling of electrons through a thin insulating layer between two ferromagnetic layers. The resistance to this tunneling current changes based on the magnetic field. This completely eliminates the problem of carbon film wearing on the current sticks. GuliKit electromagnetic sticks solves drift, while still featuring high precision, long life and smooth experience.

Here are some of the advantages often associated with TMR analogue sticks:

Higher Precision and Sensitivity: TMR sensors can detect even smaller changes in the magnetic field compared to Hall effect sensors, potentially leading to more precise and nuanced control.

Lower Power Consumption: TMR sensors generally require less power to operate than Hall effect sensors, which can contribute to longer battery life in wireless controllers.

Improved Stability and Reliability: Like Hall effect sticks, TMR sticks are contactless, minimizing wear and tear and significantly reducing the likelihood of stick drift. They are also reported to have better temperature stability and less susceptibility to magnetic interference.

Faster Response Times (Higher Polling Rates): Some sources suggest that TMR technology can allow for higher polling rates, meaning the controller reports the stick's position to the console or PC more frequently, potentially resulting in lower latency and a more responsive feel.

Extended Lifespan: Due to the contactless nature of the sensing mechanism, TMR analogue sticks are expected to have a longer lifespan compared to traditional potentiometer-based sticks.
Please note: This is an add-on and cannot be purchased separately. Orders with this upgrade will take their full processing time, as any regular controller customization.
