GuliKit Introduces TMR Magnetic Joystick Replacement for Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2

GuliKit has officially announced the global release of its Joy-Con 2 TMR Magnetic Replacement Joystick Set for the Nintendo Switch 2. The company says the new module is the first replacement joystick for Joy-Con 2 to use TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) magnetic sensing technology, bringing an anti-drift solution to Nintendo’s latest handheld controller.

Stick drift has remained a major concern for Nintendo Switch users over the years. The issue typically appears after long-term use, when the traditional carbon film components inside the joystick begin to wear down. As the internal parts degrade, players may experience unintended movement, inaccurate input, or unstable analog control during gameplay.

The original Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers were widely affected by the problem, leading many users to replace or repair their joysticks after extended use. While Nintendo Switch 2 introduces updated hardware and a redesigned Joy-Con attachment system, GuliKit notes that the new controllers still rely on traditional carbon film joystick modules, meaning drift could eventually become an issue again over time.

GuliKit previously introduced Hall Effect replacement joysticks for the original Nintendo Switch Joy-Con. Those modules used magnetic sensing instead of physical contact-based input detection, reducing wear and improving durability. The company later upgraded its joystick lineup with TMR technology, which it says offers better precision, improved stability, and lower power consumption compared to earlier Hall Effect designs.

The newly launched Joy-Con 2 TMR Replacement Joystick Set has been developed specifically for Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 controllers. According to GuliKit, the replacement module is designed as a true 1:1 drop-in solution that matches the dimensions and structure of the original joystick assembly. Users can install the module without soldering or hardware modification, following the same process as a standard joystick replacement.

Once installed, users only need to complete the calibration process through the Nintendo Switch 2 system settings to finish setup.

GuliKit says the use of TMR electromagnetic sensing technology allows the joystick to operate without direct physical contact inside the sensor system. This design helps reduce internal wear while improving long-term reliability. The company also claims the joystick delivers smoother movement, more accurate control, reduced stick jitter, and improved responsiveness during gameplay sessions.

One of the challenges with designing an electromagnetic joystick for Nintendo Switch 2 involves the console’s magnetic snap-on Joy-Con attachment system. Since magnets are positioned close to the controller hardware, additional engineering was required to prevent interference with joystick performance.

To address this, GuliKit implemented a dual-layer anti-magnetic interference structure. The company redesigned the internal layout using magnetic field simulation tools to place the TMR sensor farther from the console’s magnetic components. In addition, the outer housing uses iron-based alloy shielding materials to help block external magnetic interference.

According to GuliKit, internal testing showed that the joystick maintained stable and accurate performance after installation and calibration, with no noticeable impact from the console’s magnetic attachment system.

GuliKit also highlighted its position within the electromagnetic joystick market. The company designs and manufactures its joystick modules through automated production facilities and holds multiple patents across regions, including the United States, Europe, Japan, and China. In addition to its own products, GuliKit also supplies joystick solutions and manufacturing services to brands such as Corsair, SCUF Gaming, and ROG.

The GuliKit Joy-Con 2 TMR Replacement Joystick Set officially launches worldwide on May 12, 2026. Pricing starts at $19.99 in the United States, €19.99 across Europe, and £16.99 in the United Kingdom. Initial availability begins through Amazon US, followed by Amazon UK and multiple European Amazon storefronts, alongside authorized retail partners globally.
