Steam Deck OLED Left Joystick Module
The left joystick module is a standalone daughterboard housing the potentiometer and gimbal. Drift occurs when the resistive track on this board develops microscopic wear or carbon buildup, leading to inaccurate voltage signals. Replacing the entire modular board restores the electrical 'null' position.

Steam Deck OLED Right Joystick Module
Similar to the left module, the right joystick uses a dedicated PCB with a resistive sensor. Continuous friction during gameplay scores the carbon substrate, resulting in voltage fluctuations that the SteamOS interprets as camera or cursor movement. A new module provides a clean, factory-calibrated resistive path.

Hall Effect Joystick Upgrade Kit
This is a non-contact electromagnetic replacement for the standard potentiometer. It eliminates the mechanical wear-and-tear failure mode by using magnets and Hall sensors to detect position, effectively preventing future drift caused by friction-induced debris or track scoring.
