@@Terkzorr I did it and I have no sticking on my sticks, you have to be sure you don't over tighten the screws

[@Terkzorr]

@@jacobhawkins9496 An hour after I posted my comment I could fix the sticking problem by drilling away about half a millimeter of plastic inside the thumb sticks, using them since. Much better than Sony's slippery default ones, albeit the fact they get dirty so easily because of their engraved texture.

Thanks for the help, amazing video

[@reed560]

Hmm, any thoughts on the control sticks becoming less responsive or glitchy? It feels like the dead zone when I look right is weird. As in I look right very slowly but left is fine. I assume its the sensor, and I took my old controller apart to see if I could learn anything or fix it somehow, but I couldn't seem to solve it. New controller now has this issue. Any advice of what I could try? Blowing it out with compressed air helped, but didn't solve the issue on the old controller, so I suppose its not out of the question just yet.

Kurt Marshall strongly disagree but meh ive been with playstation since the psx and the d pad has remained the same through to ps4 and ive never once had problems with it. its the best dpad for tekken of which i am a huge fan of. for me personally no other d pad cuts it for me.

[@sgttimmay9151]

Wow a lot of xbox fan boys posting on this. Powerful console sure but when the games are trash what's the point, buy a pc ffs. I recently did this mod with the kit from eBay (and it's a multi console kit) and it works perfectly fine. Brought a new controller and used an old one so no loss. Didn't use the green dpad insert, I just drill/pin and glue the dpad on to the ps one after removing the cross and sanding. Looks and feels great thanks for the video dude 👍😉
