That right stick issue on the first controller did show up when you first tested. I saw it and knew you’d be taking it apart twice. The sticks do auto-centre when you move them around in a circle a few times. That’s why the left stick appeared to go to -1 and 1 while you were explaining the issue. Not sure if there’s a permanent calibration as well.

Thanks Stuart, yes I noticed it too when watching the video back. Guess I missed it at the time. Yes I noticed it did seem to auto centre not sure if that's a permanent thing or not...

@@BuyitFixit I read online that on the Xbox itself there is an option to calibrate the controller under Settings -> Devices -> Controllers or some similar menu. Not sure if that’s a calibration that the controller remembers or if the Xbox remembers the calibration, or if the option exists at all!

@@sdjmchattie I looked in the Accessories menu which let's you perform basic tests on the xbox when doing a video on another xbox controller but alas there seems to be no calibration option. Even the test option is very basic and just displays UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT when pressing the thumbsticks and shows no indication of how much they are being moved 🙁

Xbox controllers can be recalibrated using windows, connect - device manager - properties - recalibrate

Yes, but only when you are using the controller on a PC. It doesn't actually calibrate the controller but just adds an offset value in software, and has no effect when it's being used on an Xbox.

Excellent work, methodical and intelligent. Well done.

It's gotta be a case of built to last for the 1 year warranty. They've got it down to an art by now! £££££££ I recently platinum'd Resident Evil 4 remake on the PS4 and original Dualshock 4 controller I purchased about 8 years ago when bloodbourne came out! Only repair I've carried out on the controller was changing the plastic triggers with aluminium ones. The plastic posts had snapped on L2 and R2 triggers. Also, if I remember correctly the PS3's Dualshock 3 had a metal bar in the L2/R2 trigger posts.

Like you did say, the middle part of the joystick restrict it from moving too far, so maybe you can take a bit of plastic away in the hole of the cover. That will only work if it can't travel enough.

Great video and thank you for sharing!!!

No doubt about the fact that the don't make them as durable as the old ones, I still have my original xbox and the controllers work flawless even the third party controller still works, there must be a way to change how the controller interprets the imputs in order to center it. But once again thanks for all the time and effort you put into making the videos

You can make minor adjustment by de-soldering the pot legs that needs adjusting and twist it very slightly the in direction needed then solder (Or sodder if you are an American) the legs.

That module you put in place is for the PS4 controller. They have those small posts underneath for clearance. Best to use units designed for the Xbox controllers.

Thanks rory. I had a search on a few electronic suppliers like RS Components, Digikey and the only supplier seemed to be Mouser. I had bought some previously from Ebay that were for xbox but they didn't work properly and I suspect that they may have been copies. I checked the resistance and footprint dimensions before ordering and they seemed to be identical to the xbox ones which is why I ended up ordering them.

They both use alps analogs , identical . The model you have purchased is correct. They are centred using software not available to the public . Apart from chopping and changing the potentiometers or buying a bag of potentiometers and using a multimeter to test them , so you get two very similar reading , they will always be off centre . Anything under 10% won’t drift , but you want as close to 0 as possible so they last longer

Interesting as ever. Does the very slightly off centre return of a couple of the sticks cause drift in the games or it it small enough not to affect game play?

what if you tried removing and turning the thumb sticks 1/4 turn at a time if they restrict the movement and could be not quite round..just a thought :)
