"The company says it worked with Xbox Ally manufacturer Asus to create these sticks, that they'll be "automatically recognized" when you swap them in, and that you can use the handheld's built-in Armoury Crate app to calibrate them afterwards. And while I haven't tried these ones (I do have a pair in my Switch), I can confirm it's pretty easy to pop open the Xbox Ally to install."
"When we're talking about TMR or the older and slightly less power-efficient Hall effect joystick technology, I usually write "drift-resistant" instead of "drift-free" because you may find your center point drifting over time - but the beauty of magnetic is you just have to recalibrate! Unlike the potentiometer joysticks that ship with Nintendo, Sony PlayStation, and Microsoft Xbox controllers, you're not scraping away material that'll lead to permanent drift as you use the magnetic versions."
Gulikit released officially Asus-approved TMR magnetic joystick modules for the Xbox Ally handheld, providing aftermarket magnetic, drift-resistant replacements. The sticks are designed to be automatically recognized by the system and can be calibrated using the handheld's built-in Armoury Crate app. Installation is straightforward: loosen Philips-head screws, pry open the case with a guitar pick tool, disconnect a ribbon cable, and remove three screws to access the joystick modules. Magnetic TMR technology reduces permanent wear compared with potentiometer joysticks, allowing recentering via recalibration instead of material scraping. The joysticks cost $20 in the US, £20 in the UK, and €22 in several European countries, arriving in January.
