[@anasevi9456]

1:41 great video, and yeah it is annoying how people think a new set of shocks will keep the old crusty tyres from blowing over potholes. Hall are vastly more reliable due to being contactless, will stop out of the box and not beat up drift; but everything else is still getting mashed up by wear and tear..

[@brianwalker7771]

True Hall effect sticks may not completely eliminate stick drift since everything wears out eventually but at this point we need something more durable than the crap that is in controllers at the moment. I am happy to see some viable options now becoming available. Hopefully we will get options for other pads some time soon. I am looking at you XBOX! Also viable replacements for old pads such as the xbox,xbox 360,PS1,PS2 ,PS3 and any other aging pads would be amazing to see. So many worn out pads that could be resurrected rather than tossed without having to play good part or trash roulette online.

[@OG_ALviK]

The plastics of the body and buttons will wear out sooner than the magnetic field for the hall sensors.

[@schwarzerafri9015]

They also work in Xbox One / Series / Elite Pads, they all use 10k pots / hall sensors. And the sticks are available for the PS5 with 2.3k Sensors, too.

[@koruzhuv2.087]

[@Soul94255]

I swear Sony used some kind of magical Sonium material made from the gods to solder those sticks on because even with using flux, adding fresh leaded solder, and using a hot air gun, and trying a solder sucker, NOTHING could get those fucking sticks off. I actually ended up melting the original joysticks plastic bits trying to remove it with hot air. Kudos to you for being able to get it off for these hall effect sticks. I just said forget it and sent the hall effects back to the shipper.

[@swiftsilver]

I kept seeing these for fairly cheap compared to the joycon ones, I guess they really are legit. Definetly going to pick up a couple

[@UberMicroRepairs]

yep, they seem very good quality.

[@getit7107]

That's cool they come with a custom magnetic sensor that can match the original output signal. I was thinking it was gonna need some add on board to go with it but everything is on the analog itself. Interesting and also that last ps4 battle beaver vid was a great late night watch for me before bed. 😁👍

[@Verdaderevelada34]

Wow you sure have some technique you got the moves bro!

[@kevrosbane]

the magnets will also lose magnetism over time causing drift or if left near a powerful magnet like a sub woofer for a week would be enough to change the field then you need to recalibrate them. wear and tear and the field even the hall sensor it self can fail. is why im always confused why people believe it can never drift.

[@UberMicroRepairs]

I not sure the magnets would weaken enough. I'd bet wear and tear would happen to the module long before the magnet weakens. They are neodymium . There are Dreamcast and Xbox One controllers using standard ferrite magnets and hall effect sensors that are decades old now. All still work fine. I guess time will tell.

[@chpokerTV]

i had hall sensor Ps3 controller, 10 years no drift, perfect center. But yeah magnetism will get weaker true, but at that time you will be dead already.

[@UberMicroRepairs]

@@chpokerTV Agreed. The PS3 analogs in the SIXAXIS controller suffered from worn out springs. The stick didn't return back to centre. I will predict the same will happen to these hall effect analogs.

[@sparda1418]

I have two PS3 controllers since 2010 and never had stick drift so clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about

[@techhoarder3416]

OEM Dreamcast controllers don't have drift issues and they're two decades old. It is more likely that the magnetic field will outlast you as long as you treat the controller properly. I still have my OEM Dreamcast controllers and they work as good as the day I bought them.

[@Retro2ModernGaming]

Please tell me where I can buy these hall effect sensors, and please confirm to me that these can work with Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers (since they use ALPS sticks like the PS4, PS5, and Xbox controllers). EDIT: Never mind, I found the same sticks on the Uber Micro shop. All I need just a confirmation on whether these same sticks work on Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers.

[@yuxia2019]

Should be.. Although it looks bad.. it's so minute I doubt it will really effect anything.

[@EDOD_EseDelOtroDia]

Most games come with a 10% dead zone for analog sticks. The jittering only occurs in a 2% zone. So nope, there wouldn't be any problem with any game. In fact the only way for it to become a problem would be by purposedly shrinking the deadzone using DS4Windows or a similar software.

You need to turn test circularity on & get the Average Error: To about 10.9% or lower with 3x3mm ohms resistance trim pots to reduce menu scrolling skip speed, this is fab stuff as foundational pot tech looks, good find 👍🏼. Shrink the circle overshoot enough this could serve Dualsense also on 2K3 Pots with a lower resistance trim pot to equal the required value 😉😜😁🫸🏼🎮🫷🏼🙏🏼🕹️🕹️🎯🎯.

[@UberMicroRepairs]

Thanks for the tips! Please don't take this personally (I'm extremely passionate about our repairs) but we do not and will NEVER use trim pots (Stick Drift Fix boards) or resistors. They are a lazy, hack fix IMO and we remove them on all controllers when we find them installed. We get all our sticks to calibrate to within 3% and full 100% range around the clock without any of those methods. We use the Controller tester coupled with DS4-Windows so I get the full raw analog reading not the default Windows calibration that has a default deadzone of 10%. Again Trim pots (Stick Drift Fix boards) or resistors anything like that, we will never use as I believe they are a really bad fix and doesn't address the underlying cause of drift (which is the wear / dirt on the carbon track). Having to fix 10 - 15 controllers on top of consoles a day we have a fast, efficent and reliable method that mitigates the carbon track wear. Over the years I've see so many methods, some even including a full blown maths lesson, all amounting to wasted time. Especially as DS4 controllers can now be calibrated and the reading wirtten back to FW.

[@GOATGamerProSticks]

@@UberMicroRepairs I don't use fix boards either just the raw trim pots from 1M+1M minimum shrink, 1M, 500, 200, 100, 50, 30 & 20+20K max shrink twin & single trim pot combos for best results, it's not efficient but I discovered it all as a fully qualified know nothing using Grey 10.24K primary potentiometer sides 🫣, probably a crime by your standards but I made it work lol. I fitted Xbox one elite series 2 sticks in my DS4 🎮 the same way, but with hall sides it could get better results 😉, there not very mechanically tight tolerance the series 2 pots I fitted. My soldering skills are that of a child from looking at your speed, but I did painful research 🤷🏼‍♂️. I custom built Analog stick tops better than anything out there & that's as far as I got, better than mod sticks & Xbox magnetic sticks & there modular to fit in anything that uses either the screw 🔩 pin of elite series 2 or traditional push fit 4mm plastic pins with 3mm width flats, best thing the markets may never see 🥺...

So far I've not got them working on PS5 controllers. There are a few factor that are different like the PS5 uses a lower voltage and the pinout is rotated. Not to mention the pot resistance and range is different.

[@pootnannies]

i tried and the controller does not work correctly. it takes some of the voltage out of circuit or something. the controller powers on, flashes twice and turns off. the R/L adaptive trigger motors will tick as well.

@@pootnannies Yeah.. The PS5 controller analog work on 1.7v and the hall analog need 3.3v also the Hall analogs need + and - to be the correct way round.
