@@ians.4431 There's no way for me to know or guarantee it...it depends on how damaged the stick is. IMO, it's worth it to keep some cleaner around so you can try to clean it first. If cleaning doesn't help then replacing the stick is probably the only way to fix it.

If you can that easily clean the joycon sticks without disassembly, dirt can get into it the same way. Probably a reason why drift is so prominent with them.

Although i only used just normal compressed air this video gave me the idea to take the controller back apart and spray some air under the analog sticks. which seems to of done the trick. Havent fully tested it , but i appreciate you none the less.

Unfortunately pretty much every controller including Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo (except joycons) and a lot of third party ones have used the exact same joystick hardware from the exact same company since like the 90's. The company have also never changed their design even though they drift way too much way too often.

A while ago my brother's ps4 controller started to drift a lot. I saw your ps4 controller drift repair video and wanted try it out if I can fix it. After cleaning it, the drift was gone!! Thank you!!!

Just purchased using the link. Thanks for the video

Both the Xbox family and the PS4 and PS5 controllers are using the same mass produced model for analog sticks, which are not as tight as past models as I almost never have problems with drifts with the Game Cube or the PS2 and PS3 controllers, which tells me that they were more tightly assembled or had smaller pieces as larger pieces tend to get dusty and that dust with humidity turns into a sticky substance that causes drift.

Very helpful video as always thank you

I received a friends controller where if you would press the left stick up, the right stick also monitors a move to the left. And left stick down the right sticks also triggers a right move. After clearing the board from cat hairs and some liquid it still didnt work. After spraying some elctronic contact spray in the thumbsticks the problems where finaly gone. What a luck youre video came up today on my phone. Watching all your clips for a long time now, keep the good work/tips coming :)

Oh wow nice ! 👍👍 Im gonna have to try this out.

Wow what a cool product definitely a life saver

With this video I changed a potentiometer of an xbox controller that didnt work into a faulty drift in a PDA switch controller. THNX!!!!

Personally I think it varies depending on how badly the potentiometer is damaged. If its caused by dust and finger gunk it'll definitely fix it for for most part, but if the potentiometer tracks are damaged it's replacement only generally. Great video as always Steve 👍

I replaced the analog stick on one of my Valve Index vr controllers. They basically all fail in the same way eventually and the repair is to solder on a new analog stick part. Since they are sold as a pair for $300 a set I think there's probably a lot of money to be had in repairing them as a service and buying and refurbishing them.

Finally a good video about stick drift

Hi steve thanks for this great video I watch lots of your reparing videos and learned alot! just a quick question I replaced the joystick on my dual sense controller multiple times but every time I put a new joystick in its just off centered a bit, its not moving or getting input but just off-centered. how can I fix that? Every time I replace it, its off-centered on another random spot

Love the videos Steve, what gamepad tester are you using?

I did this with a xbox 360 back in the day and worked

shows this to my brother and he's starting to spray wb 100 to any game controller we had from the new ones and the old ones even those are already broken wish he empty the can btw thank you

Please allow me to leave another very important comment that this is temporary. After all, clearly everyone expected cleaning something once to stop it from ever getting dirty again in the future! I mean, we all clean our homes and after we do it once, they stay clean forever, right? I washed my car once and even after driving through more snowy, salted roads, it's still perfectly clean, no need to wash it ever again! 🙄 Of course cleaning is temporary. Of course they can get dirty again. And of course mechanical wear will still happen and break it to the point of needing a new potentiometer. Nobody thought cleaning was a permanent fix, so enough with the stupid "this is temporary!" comments already. You aren't imparting any useful information.

Summary: 1. If it is just dirty: cleaning works 2. If it is worn out: needs to be replaced, no amount of cleaning will ever fix it. Kinda makes sense...

What flux you're using? Cool videos👍🏻

Okay, stupid question time... After you spray the liquid in there and wiggle the stick around, then the liquid dries, where exactly does the dirt go? (Dirt can't evaporate)

@Tronicsfix

3 жыл бұрын

The hope is that the dirt will be removed from the contacts and drain out of the inside through holes in the case...or at a minimum at least be removed from the contact and collect in some other area of the stick. That's also why I show how to open the potentiometer in this video...so you can spray it in and let anything drain out the bottom.
