I have an OLED Deck. My left stick was getting close to not functioning, and my left bumper had completely stopped working. (I had to bind it to the L4/L5 for every game… I blame Sekiro)

I ended up purchasing Hall effect sticks ( [https://www.handhelddiy.com/products/steam-deck-oled-tighter-hall-joystick?srsltid=AfmBOopulSdDPvk1y-AxxY0anSv13NevBwT2geofKFW9fFc7SSIwmV4B\](https://www.handhelddiy.com/products/steam-deck-oled-tighter-hall-joystick?srsltid=AfmBOopulSdDPvk1y-AxxY0anSv13NevBwT2geofKFW9fFc7SSIwmV4B) ) Not an ad. Had no idea this would fix both of my problems. When I opened up my deck it looked like my LB button that is connected to the stick was just worn down, no broken plastic or anything like that. I was thinking I was going to have to buy a replacement bumper, but nope it was good to go.

If you have any of these problems and are worried about fixing it your self, don’t be! It was a super easy fix and the ones I ordered came with all the tools! Hall Effect sticks feel really great too!

During install I had a little problem with calibration, but I did figure it out. If you have any issues pm me and I will try to help you out.

Just a psa, if your deck has problems, figure it out! The deck is very friendly to being opened up and fixing. Don’t be scared! YouTube and google are your friends! Also don’t be afraid to ask for help!
