Although no instances of joystick drift have surfaced for the ROG Xbox Ally so far, such problems could arise in the future. For those wanting to avoid unreliable controls, GuliKit has introduced its new TMR Electromagnet Joystick Modules tailored for the Xbox portable device.
The company collaborated closely with Asus on these replacement modules, ensuring they fit precisely the original joysticks in both the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X models. While GuliKit earlier created a Hall effect upgrade for the ROG Ally X, this version uses electromagnetic technology that eliminates drift while offering greater accuracy, longevity, and energy savings. Installation is straightforward without any need for soldering, and users can adjust the sensitivity through the device's built-in options.
Upgrading a gaming portable that might retail for as much as $1,000 could seem unnecessary, yet the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X lack built-in Hall effect or electromagnetic controls. GuliKit's module is now on sale via its Amazon page in the United States for $19.99.
