do magnets lose power like batteries

Dude, I love what you're doing! I promise I'll support you as soon as I get a job! <3

Gonna get this soon. So happy I can use my nail drill for this lmao.

You are amazing. 🎉🎉🎉

The Dreamcast fixed stick drift 26 years ago...

I would like replaceable ones for the Dual Sense Edge. :)

Stupid music. Too many commercials. Thumbs down spanking 👎 😂

Could you fix my elite series 2 controller? Barely one year of use

You need to realize engineered obsolescence is a thing. They are doing on purpose to sell more controllers. Cheap manufacturing, allowing mistakes, and variances in the manufacturing process is one of those dirty jobs people are hired for no one talks about. As long as most of the products made last longer than warranty period, it not illegal but it is immoral.

why not also use a magnet to center the joystick?

liked the vid - keep up the great work. to emphasize my admiration a little means of value which you can use for some printing raisin or on the next pcb order….

Make a USB-C mod for the Ps2

why fix the problem when you can sell controllers and get 20 milion dollars in return ;)

Thanks!

He id cearly using two different controllers. Because if you look at the right analog on the first controller it doesn't have a cap but the other one does

I know I'm late to the party but did you do a durability test versus a traditional controller. Like what deadzone is needed to stop drift after rotating the stick for different times at a certain speed or something?

A great product, shipped quickly and install took a little over an hour and a half. Mine was the JSD30 version and the bit in the video around 3-4 minute mark about filing away the support structure was 100% required, otherwise the underside of the USB-C jack wouldn't fit. I made a little blunder and installed the ribbon cable backwards initially and was scared I broke it, turned the pinned side around and viola it worked!

Why would they fix the problem when they make billions of profit from it.

When an update coming and are the sticks out of beta

Hi, i just bought one recently is it PD compatible? Thanks

I just want to buy controllers with this tech in it already "at a price I'm not supposed to have access to" (because I can't solder or even get a housing closed again after pulling the screws out). Do I have options? A wireless Xbox controller would be my first buy. Have any of your patreons took the idea and ran with it?

Over a year has passed ! Blimey how are you you ? I haven't seen you around the interweb lately, at least not where I can be found hanging out! hope all is well and Happy New Year.

... mediocrity and weakness prevails toward doom ....

That banana joke though 🔥 it literally maybe laugh out loud. And that never happens. Liked and subbed!

Bro you are so inspiring ! I was thinking about all these stuffs and i found what ever i thought about in your channel. I hope one day you change your mind and start your own gaming company, so that everyone can benefit from what you are doing. Do it at your own pace, find people with the same mindset. And the world will be a much place ❤

Bravo! keep doing you!

Just a minute or two into the video when you start talking about wear on resistive material and the need to eliminate contact between materials to eliminate wear. My mind started flying in thoughts about how I would do it, how can we track the position of joystick without contacts and then it clicked I that I can use magnets, few mins into the video and boy I was right!

calibration .... 😂🤣

Did you try to use a logarithmic scale to help reduce drift, micro-vibrations, and extreme sensitivity? Is this a option even available for this chip?

I bought one yesterday when will it come

We are looking at your gaming companys you need to take a couple pages from this guys book

They can’t make more if they solve it

More power to you bro. The feeling of solving problems yourself will get you through. Great work. We truly appreciate it.

Lets be real does this company doesn't have solution or they let this problem persist so people rebuy controller?

meanwhile my 10 dollar controller from a small companies work wonderfully for 1+ years and still going strong

why cant u setup a company in china to mass produce this for like 15€ on alibaba

Are the joysticks on controllers not working correctly by breaking after some time or are they working correctly? The controller company makes more money if you have to keep replacing controllers

Joystick drift is a goldmine for companies. You will always be BuyInG new ones...

take some speech classes

Are Microsoft and Sony listening ? My Xbox-360 controller start drifting after 2 years of very light use on my PC. Today I tried to fix it then screwed up the potentiometer. Now I ended up here with tears from the next 60 euro that I will have to pay to get a new Xbox-s controller.

why not just add a touchscreen under the joysticks and add something under the joystick to control the touch screen like a brush on a canvas or something or a mouse sensor underneath why rely on potentiometers

They know how to make better joysticks. They don't want to. IIRC the PS3 had hall effect sticks that didn't drift. They learned that they can sell more controllers and thus make more profit if they don't build them that way. It's a business, not a charity.

There is no incentive to solve it because the solution most people have is to buy another controller.

How to tell what controller you have

Ps1 to ps3 controllers had it already.

Here is a potencijal bilion dolar idea for you : top part use a laser wich you move with your fingers. Botom parts yust reads the coordinates of the light just like a mouse laser does. Very little moving parts needed. Wich means is affordable etc. Just shoot the light on a reader to get movement of you desired controler game movement. More ideas if you wish. A controler based on laser light

If you licensed it out at like 1% of all joystick costs, you'd be set for life dude, and you'd be able to continue your little projects without ever worrying about paying for them again. I think you should reconsider, just like the author of "The Witcher" (Andrzej Sapkowski) did when he finally came to terms with how insanely successful the franchise had become from video game sales.

In the 1990s I worked at a company that created remotely controlled variable valves for water cooling systems. While every other manufacturers were making the valves using resistive potentiometers to know the position of the valves, we were making them using an array of hall effect sensors. We had it down to 0.1% resolution and there was no drift. The control unit was essentially a computer interface where the valves were set to anywhere between 0 to 100% open. The valves were so good we couldn't keep up with demand. Eventually a large company with huge resources reverse engineered our method and not only created a volume of product we couldn't match. But they also made it much cheaper. I believe that 10-15 person operation eventually went out of business. I quit working for them in 96 or 97. I did a quick google search and while I can find a company with the same name, they are based in China and make the card readers like you see at gas pumps.

lovely!!!!!!! if only we had a variant for joycons :D

I like what you are doing. A man with knowledge will never sleep with empty stomach.
