Hey. I gave my LED version with the Elec Sticks to a friend of mine, as I bought myself an OLED Deck.
I really liked them though, as there is almost a 0 deadzone and (more importantly) a round one.
My friend also likes them, as he didn't want me to switch them back to the OEM sticks.
I've heard that the newer versions of the gulikit thumbsticks (the ones that support types a & b with no soldering required) have also fixed the square output zone issue.
I don't personally have them so I can't confirm if this is true though.
edit: did some searching and couldn't find the post I remembered saying the output zone was fixed. I did find a post saying the top half of the new thumbsticks still has a square output, but the bottom half is a circle. Overall I'm not sure, proceed with caution.
Just wanted to leave this here. For those who want to ensure that the Gulikit sticks will match the SD max physical input sensor range, there is this (well hidden) utility: "thumbstick_cal" - https://ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Calibrate+Steam+Deck+Thumbsticks/150415?lang=en - it helped fix my sticks!
Tried that with mine. Sadly the square zone didn't change. Strange
