When a little drift started showing its ugly head on my left analog controller, I seized the opportunity to change out my OEM controllers with the GuliKit Electromagnetic replacements. No drift, smooth play, longer life? Sounded too good to be true.

We will show the drift I'm talking about, replace the controllers (with the gyro soldering) and test them.

Note: Between the calibration and play testing, I reduced my dead zones considerably. Here is where they are now: https://i.imgur.com/mWJOFqR.png
