Good quality, tricky install
The sensor itself works great, but you need steady hands to solder it onto the small PCB. Instructions could be clearer.

Works but sensitive
It functions well once calibrated, but it seems slightly more sensitive to magnetic interference than the original.

Perfect for vintage repairs
This module brought my old BlackBerry back to life. The 360-degree rotation is smooth and the Hall effect sensor responds instantly.
