For around $20 that's a very fair price, the joysticks also came out more compact than I thought which is very nice. GOOD WORK!

@@deifr I think he is not designing a controler, but rather improving or replacing a very common failure point on most modern controllers. And if he manages to create properly working hall effects for standar controller pcbs, he will make a lot of people happy and a lot of companies miserable and hopefully, he gets well deserved cash for it.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!! 100%! This is amazing work! The price is very fair, especially when compared to the replacement modules Sony offers for their edge controller. The engineering you put into making the thumbstick compact truly shows your genius and problem-solving capability. Keep up the excellent work! I'm very excited to buy a pair as soon as they release.

...seems there is maybe much easier solution, not sure for dimensions, but PS3 4 pin replacement "potentiometer" is in fact a hall sensor with P1, P2, Vcc and GND, where P1 and P2 are voltages that are basically same when joystick is in neutral position, and start drift apart, aka make voltage difference when joystick goes in either side, where by moving it to one side P1 goes up, while P2 goes down and vice versa... it is small difference but a op amp could do the trick...

This would be amazing! Outright the last joystick replacement you’d ever need to do on a controller! My only question though is about calibration. Could these be calibrated? Each PS4 & PS5 controller is generally a little different so sometimes I have to try out a few replacement joysticks before I find one that matches the original enough not to cause stuck drift. Is there a way to do that with these?
@MariusHeier1
Жыл бұрын
Tested that part today. Worked great. Its gonna have a calibration routine for each controller that is setup with a button and a software on a normal computer, probably just with the webbrowser. Obviously needs testing on more controllers. Worst case it can be programmed by a programmer, a seperate device. But that would be extra costs. Try with buttons first.

I just came back to this video to bring up something I haven't seen other people mention about the Gulikit Joysticks. The joysticks (at least in my controller) ping backwards when I flick them meaning that if I flick the stick in one direction, the magnets will ping back to the middle but before they do that they sort of bobble in place slightly. It's really brief but it actually causes a flick to the right to also input a little to the left (unless you have really large dead zones but then what's the point in the hall effect sticks?). Anyway, I'd thought I'd just say to look out for that in your design because it was something I didn't expect and can be fairly annoying. :)

I unfortunately would not trust myself to install such things considering I have ruined a couple controllers by opening them up and trying to clean them (didn't help that Sony made then easy to ruin due to being cheap). I'd rather send in the controller and have the experts do it lol.
I don't think people think about this but they might not get stick drift but that plastic and spring under the stick will still eventually wear down and the stick will start becoming looser n looser feeling til it is almost like drift because it wont spring back to center it will just take 3 times as long I still love these things just want to point that out.
