Xbox Series X Gulikit TMR Joystick compatibility with Elite controller

This question is regarding the warning about compatibility of the Gulikit TMR Joystick with the Xbox Elite series controllers. There is a warning stating "Not recommended for Xbox Elite or Xbox One controllers due to unavailable software for joystick calibration." This doesn't make any sense because the Elite controllers actually use the Xbox Accessories app that has built in joystick calibration software. The very same software I see being used to calibrate the joysticks for the regular Xbox non-Elite version controllers.

I'm assuming the actual issue of compatibility is the different style of stem that has a thread to screw the Elite series thumbstick cover on. If that is the case, then my second question is if it is possible to replace the stem of the Gulikit thumbstick with the stems from Elite thumbsticks or not? I would really like to be able to replace the thumbsticks with TMR type if possible. The product page states that lack of calibration software is the issue, but I believe that is incorrect and the real problem is the stem difference. I would appreciate any feedback from anyone that has attempted this or knows enough about the TMR joysticks to know if they can be modified to fit the Elite 2. Thanks.

I purchased and installed what appeared to be a genuine Alps stick with a Ginfull TMR installed, sold on Amazon in my country. Since the Elite 2 controller supports the Xbox app, calibration can be performed. The resulting circularity was remarkably close to the genuine stick. However, depending on the TMR used, the magnet for the paddle buttons directly below the joystick may interfere, requiring countermeasures. Specifically, this involves applying copper tape and then insulating it with Kapton tape. After about six months of use, it works flawlessly alongside the genuine stem. Alternatively, transplanting only the sensor part from the Gulikit might also work.

Just got the Elite 2 with TMR’s adjustable-tension thumbsticks and it’s a night-and-day difference. My old controller had major stick drift (left deadzone at 15, right at 19). This was worth every penny, and I wish I’d upgraded sooner. This is my 6th Elite controller, hopefully the last! Now I’m planning to buy some soldering gear and try fixing the old ones as a hobby.

So I had the same question but Customer support said they could not answer. So I just realized that in my case I’ve already replaced my controllers once with OEM Xbox remotes from Amazon that are for the x/s as well. So I’m going to order these to rebuild them knowing I have the right controllers and the software to calibrate them. I would suggest you do the same, buy the x/s controllers and when they go bad, because we know they will, upgrade them to the TMR.

I will update if there are any issues.

Yes, this TMR’s are compatible with the Elite Series 2.

Maybe you can see more on this link. They explain what is pros and cons but I think it’s worth it. I’m planning to send my controller soon just because I saw this video. Best, Seven
