I've had these for a little while (but the version A ones, where I had to solder the cap myself). I never had drift issues with the old sticks, but these new ones have virtually no deadzone and are more sensitive. At first it took a little while to get used to but it's definitely more natural now.
One funny thing is I was playing Grounded with someone and I had absolutely no issues walking on some of the thin branches in the game. The other person (with a normal Steam Deck) kept falling off because he couldn't properly control the fine input on the regular sticks with their deadzone.
They're not perfect (they actually max out before the stick is fully pushed to the outside, weirdly), but I definitely don't regret installing them
They definitely more precise. With the type B sticks available w/ no soldering, it's a pretty easy install (as long as you do not forget to remove your MicroSD!)
