Ah ok, so you were even earlier to the Deck modding scene than me, and it has evolved toward being even easier since.

… Nor would I have wanted to get my own Hall Effect ‘no soldering’ kit and then learned… actually there still is soldering in some other step or on some other component, that the ‘no soldering’ kits actually just mean ‘less soldering’.
With those you don’t need to solder, they come with the caps themselves.
When I did my swap (OG Deck), I couldn’t find any Gulikits that came with the caps and I bought
