For me, I like the replacement TMR Joy-Con sticks by Gulikit that feel smoother and will last longer. I also have a Gulikit KK3 Max controller, which feels comfortable to use while being relatively repairable
What are some neat products you use that value right to repair and right to own?
edit: To clarify, I’m not a bot for Gulikit. They aren’t a perfect company and I do have criticisms of their controllers. Like their QC for their controllers is reported to be…not all that great. My unit is fine, but plenty of users has reported borked controllers on arrival.
I just want to hear about some cool repairable stuff from everybody that I might not have heard about! Many people already know about Framework/Thinkpads/System76/Tuxedo/etc for laptops and Fairphone for smartphones, so I would like to hear about other cool stuff like that! It doesn’t necessarily need to be electronics, just any projects you find useful or interesting


Ink tank printers mostly fit the bill. Make sure you get one with a user-replaceable waste sponge, because e.g. some older Canons cannot be convinced that they have a cleaned or new sponge; once they decide it’s dirty, they won’t print unless a technician fixes them.
While Gulikit makes the best aftermarket TMR sticks at the moment, there are a couple other brands (easy to find on AliExpress) that make much cheaper TMR sticks that are nearly as good.
