Hi there, can the thumbstick modules from the LCD model be used in the OLED? I'm not seeing a listing on ifixit's website for OLED specific thumbstick modules.
I have the Gulikit joystick modules from the 1st gen SD and although the mounting locations are the same the flexible tape wiring harness is wider on the 2nd gen OLED SD. Another issue will/would be, is if you have a 2nd gen limited SD with the red accents it appears you most likely will have to desolder/solder a single wire for each unit in order to reuse those red shields with the newer sticks. Not a horrible task but one to beware of.
1. I'd wait till someone pops a drop in replacement like they did for the 1st gen.
2. Keep an eye out to see if they make it in the color you're replacing.
Hope this helps.
@molsen No they can't, totally different daughterboard (annoyingly). There seems to be a around 3 (maybe 4) different versions of the right and left thumb stick. The oled version the daughterboard also contains the switch for L1/R1, the LCD version doesn't have this switch on that board.
The models seem to start MHDA, MEDA, and MLCB (and maybe an MECB)
Are the Steamdeck OLED replacement joysticks featured with square or round inputs? Many aftermarket hall effect joysticks have square inputs which leads to diagonal input in some instances.
Also, are these hall effect joysticks?
