GuliKit has released new ROG Xbox Ally modifications that can help avoid stick drift issues.
GuliKit Offers ROG Xbox Ally Mod to Fix Stick Drift
Two new products from GuliKit are perfect for users who want to avoid or fix stick drift issues on their ROG Xbox Ally handheld consoles.
First, there is the GuliKit TMR Electromagnetic Joystick Module (RG02) for the ROG Xbox Ally and the ROG Xbox Ally X, which features the TMR effect design and is fully compatible with the handheld console.
Next, there is the GuliKit Electromagnetic Joystick Module for the ROG Ally X (RG01), and this features the company’s Hall Effect technology design, guaranteeing longer work life and smooth gaming experiences.
According to Engadget, there are still no widespread reports about the ROG Xbox Ally getting stick drift issues at present, but it may be unavoidable in the future because of the choice of hardware.
The tech specs on the ROG Xbox Ally state that both its Left and Right thumbsticks use full-size analog sticks, otherwise known as potentiometers, that rely on movement to translate to controls in-game or via the console.
This means that these analog sticks are bound to experience some wear and tear problems because of long-term use, dirt particles that seep into the cracks, and other forms of damage that could affect the potentiometers in determining controls.
This leads to the infamous stick drift, where the sticks detect movement despite not being used, and it could veer in different directions and affect gaming entirely.
