Implementing Hall Effect design/tech joysticks if available, now or later, for example the Switch can be replaced with these. Hopefully they’d be willing to start using this tech instead in the future. otherwise for the time being some of this kind of DIY will have to suffice for now.

@@GOATGamerProSticks The trimmer potentiometer boards are useless, we never used them to begin with because they drastically lower your stick maximum operating area since they offset the potentiometer's hard-left to hard-right movement readings, which will result in some games having broken selection menus and others you will lose full motion speed when panning / moving.

Ended up changing the hole analog module(which was my first intuition), took me about an hour, I hadn’t touched a soldering iron since shop-class.

The discoloration in potentiometer is the wearing of the wiper tines that are on that white piece . I just took mine apart. To find that those tines had worn away and broke off. Scratching the black areas through to copper just underneath that black coat. I think as long as the potentiometer black surfaces are not warn through like this guys is your safe just swapping the white piece, but If the potentiometer side is showing wearing and metal is visible then the potentiometer needs to be replaced. Also you need a magnifying glass to see the tines on the white piece you see how warn they are. That piece is the weakest link in the whole system

You are 100% correct. My 1.5 years old dualsense developed jerkiness a couple of days ago, so today I took it apart and looked inside the potentiometers. In one of them, one of the tines was missing a couple of millimetres off the tip, and the remaining tip was also twisted off to the side somehow. Cleaning it did nothing to help, obviously. I ordered some pot modules off AE to do a replacement. I don't have the experience, equipment, or skills to do any soldering, but hopefully replacing the wiper will revive the controller for a while.

This video was a big help, but after watching it in its entirety there is one key detail to note when you put the wipers back inside the potentiometers. MAKE SURE THOSE RINGS ARE NOT UPSIDE DOWN when you put the new ones in. There are two sets of white dots, one close one wide that act as indicators on how they should be placed back into the potentiometer casing. The wide spaced dots should be facing up and the small spaced dots should be facing down. otherwise you will mess up your deadzone reading and make the drift worse till you mount the wipers back in the right way.

Thanks for showing this. I don’t have the “idle” drift that people have. I have more of a tilt drift meaning when I tilt my left stick up, according to controller test in astrobot, it shakes up and down. Was debating of changing the whole module when I could just change the part of the module that controls the up and down potentiometer. Really hope someone makes regular controller hall sticks.

@PogChamp! I feel the same way about beyond my expertise. But it wasn't bad at all. I cleaned it with isoproplyl 91% alcohol and a q-tip and so far it went from nearly unplayable to un-noticeable. $70 is a new game. These things shouldn't break this easy. Imo they are designed to. They want you to have to buy a new one. Again and again. Sony probably hates these videos. I don't understand what you have to lose? I was ready to buy a new one but figured i might as well try this first. If i screw up the controller, it'd be screwing up an already screwed up controller. Now i'll buy a game with that money.

What is the difference between the white potentiometer sensor and the black one? I have a rig nacon revolution x that had stick drift. I used a sensor from an Xbox s controller(2022) I never used in attempt to fix it. The sensor didn’t snap into place and seemed like the mechanical movement wasn’t the same as the original white sensor that was in the nacon, like it wasn’t in perfect tandem. When I tried it out, the up and down axis wasn’t even functioning. Just pointing down. After I saw this video I cleaned the potentiometer track and reinstalled the original sensor and it fixed it.

I tried cleaning my vertical potentiometer, and it worked well for a couple weeks. Now cleaning doesn't help, so I replaced the entire potentiometer. Now it pulls down when the stick moves right or left, which is puzzling. Any ideas? Any chance I failed to make a solder connection on one of the three pins?

I’ll solder the new potentiometer on mine. I feel replacing one part only will cause the drift to come back quick. If I mess up, not bothered as the controllers unusable and out of warranty anyway and will be a solder learning experience. Edit: I followed and the black part is hard to get of, plus once I got in I bent the potentiometer piece too much trying to pry it only a little.

What if you just buy the white thing from inside and put the new one inside so I don’t have to do all that work ?

What happens if you did separate the potentiometer from the board? I accidentally separated mine when I tried to lock after cleaning..

I changed the entired Joystick, but now it won't connect to my Ps5, well it does, but it seems the Bluetooth signal is very poor, I have to stand really close to my PS5 to be able to be recognized, do you know where the Bluetooth traces are on the board?

While they look the same the PS5 potentiometers measure out around 2.1k Ohms while the PS4 ones measure out around 10k Ohms. Not sure why Sony decreased the value so much but yeah
