Are These Authentic GuliKit Hall Sensor Joycon Sticks?

[SparkyX1]

Hello all,

I was eyeing the GuliKit hall effect joycon sticks on other sites (AKNES brand on Amazon) for a while and stumbled across a set on Temu that appear to use identical sensors (https://share.temu.com/mfoQwpqAAMA). Does anyone have any experience with these ones, or know if they are authentic? It seems pretty cheap for actual GuliKit sticks and could be a very economical option.

Not sure that does seem oddly low, even with the biggest discount from AliExpress they are $14 a pair, so that low of a price for two pair seems suspicious. May have to order just to see what o actually get.

I went ahead and ordered some to see what I get. I'll post back what I find!

I see reviews are now coming in for these verifying they are not the official GuliKit sticks, I never got around to ordering but multiple photos from the reviews also show the packaging is not the Gulikit packaging. Seemed to good to be true.

Unfortunately I can confirm that they were not authentic. It seems they are no longer for sale either. Luckily I got a full refund, so at least I have some spare replacement pieces for my joycons.

Yea it’s a real shame! The only real discount seems to be buying them in bulk at 50 sets at a time for $14 a set, although even I don’t need 50 sets!
