FAQ
Everything You Need to Know
From Hall Effect technology to shipping timelines - we've got the answers.
Standard joystick modules use potentiometers - physical resistors that wear down every time you move the stick. After thousands of hours of play, they develop "stick drift," ghost inputs, and dead zones. There's no fix for a worn-out potentiometer; it keeps getting worse.
Hall Effect / TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) joysticks work completely differently. They use magnets to detect movement - no physical contact, no friction, nothing to wear out. The sensor reads the magnetic field instead of touching anything. That means: significantly reduced drift. Hall Effect sensors have no mechanical wear - the leading cause of drift - so performance stays consistent much longer than traditional joysticks.
GuliKit's TMR modules have an error rate under 3%, compared to 10-15% on stock components. That's the difference you feel when you aim.
We work with three joystick module lines - choose based on your budget and feel preference:
| Model | Technology | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| GnFull 2nd Gen | Improved Potentiometer | Budget upgrade - better than stock, lower cost |
| GuliKit NS51 | Hall Effect TMR ? | Permanent zero drift - most popular choice |
| GuliKit 720 Adjustable | Hall Effect TMR ? | Premium - adjustable tension, competition-grade precision |
We recommend GuliKit NS51 or 720 Adjustable for permanent, maintenance-free performance.
eXtremeRate membranes are tactile replacement pads that change the feel and responsiveness of your PS5 DualSense buttons. They give a crisp, defined click on each press - reducing mushy or inconsistent input, which matters in competitive play.
We offer five variants:
| Model | Coverage | Click Feel |
|---|---|---|
| Face Clicky Kit V3 | X, O, Square, Triangle only | Defined click |
| Shoulder Light V2 | L1, L2, R1, R2 only | Light / soft click |
| Shoulder Strong V2 | L1, L2, R1, R2 only | Heavy / firm click |
| Whole Set Light V2 | Face + Shoulder buttons | Light / soft click |
| Whole Set Strong V2 | Face + Shoulder buttons | Heavy / firm click |
Compatible with PS5 DualSense only. You can buy them as a kit (DIY) or have us install them as part of your send-in service.
