@MaoMaster69

That's the point of companies using this tech, honestly. It's meant to break down and make you buy new peripherals, cause not many people know how to solder and repair. Like, Sony and Microsoft COULD use hall effect pots, but...why? People would buy their controllers less because they won't ever NEED a new one; the controller just wouldn't break down with better tech. In other words, pick up some hobbiest and repair skills and keep them in your back pocket. It can be really cathartic fixing these products on your own, and it ends up being a fine investment in time and money (and it's just better for the environment, anyway).

Unfortunately, companies see controllers as consumable items. If you look at the datasheet from Alpine Alps, the manufacturer of the sticks used in every game console, they say that a stick will last 2 million cycles. Sony could have very easily introduced hall effect sensors but instead they made the edge controller so you can buy more the sticks that will wear out.

I agree with everything in this video, I do my own repairs as well. However be careful opening the tracks to replace the contact pads inside. I have had the legs of the track break off and needing replaced. Stick drift is all about the power difference that is given to each axis, which is how the contact plates work. Best fix for drift is to solder resistors between the legs on opposite side of board to compensate the direction drift. Your method will work great if it works the first time, however multiple teardowns of the same tracks will break it over time, breaking the legs which breaks the solder connection, which will cause even harder drift or unresponsive controls.

The “hall effect” joysticks eliminate these issues because they use magnets and electrical conductors to measure their position, distance, and movement. This is why i recommend investing in the dual sense edge, ideally if you can get a good deal…as it is a bit expensive, but well worth it. Or invest in third party controller with these joysticks, which for me personally, isn’t ideal because i prefer the seamless integration put into the dual sense edge because it’s designed specifically with the ps5 in mind and has software built into the console and controller itself to make it more user friendly and ultimately more convenient.

My left joystick has roughly -0.003 to -0.03 drift. How bad in your experience with drift do you think it is worth to repair the potentiometer? I've seen knock-off Aliexpress PS4 potentiometers go for 2$ each. Cleaning the ones I currently have might be enough, but I am quite scared to open them up and not put them back together correctly and breaking them in the process.

If its hardly noticeable or not affecting gameplay dont bother

Excellent video dude. Straight and to the point. Cheers

never thought of replacing only the wipers, thanks!

Thank for sharing, how long did it take you to figure this out. People like you make it easy for the rest of us!

It has been known for a long time that this is the cause of the drift. But did not actually know how to replace these myself. Right now i am installing hall effect sensors in my joycons (hall effect sticks use magnets to determine the sticks position instead of wipers that wear down overtime) they are from gulikit. They told me they where going to make hall effect sticks for the dualsense aswell. I just hope hall effect sensors will become the new standard in new controllers going forth. Sony is not even putting them in the dualsense edge.

It's the resistance pad that fails, wipers are always good to go. And the second cause is the thumbstick itself. The spring mechanism wears out and the stick don't make it back to the center.

That's what I thought too. It's a bit suspect that changing the wiper fixed the problem in this video.

Thank you, thank you. I have been dealing with this issue and it’s so relieving to know how drift happens. This was the most useful video, for me at the least👍

Such a great video! It's so cool you made this when you only had 500 subscribers.

I may need to do this for my controller. All of a sudden the right analog stick just shoots up on its own (I play CoD so I’ll be looking/aiming up). It’s tolerable but when you’re in a middle of a fight or have the perfect shot and it jerks up out of nowhere its very annoying.

I used to have something similar lol. if I was running and looked to my right I would stop moving. I could only attack people to my left or id die from randomly standing still mid fight 🤣🤣

My Xbox Series X controller is not suffering from significant drift. However, there's another issue that's been bugging me: when moving the thumbsticks (particularly the left one), there's some minor "resistance" and some "squeaking". It's not very loud, but definitely noticeable and annoying. The symptoms are specially perceived when moving the stick slowly toward one edge. I would love for the stick movement to feel smooth again. I don't have the proper equipment not skills to do the job. Last time I tried it with my PS4, the controller ended up worse than it was. Anybody else have something similar where the stick movement is no longer smooth and produces some squeaking?

I have the same controller and my running feels like walking rn

First vid I've watched that works, thanks you absolute g

Just fixed 2 controllers with spare parts from an old Xbox 360 controller. Awesome video. Thank you so much

WD40 Contact Cleaner!! force the nozle into the controller, tricky but once it's in spray. remove the nozzle, spin the controller sticks, I've did this twice and now I've not had any drift in months.

You don’t have to replace them. All you gotta do is clean the inside, like you did and take those twizzers and reinforce the wipers so that there’s pressure against the black track.

Nice! Luckily got away with just cleaning the wipers and pad and fixed my drift. Went ahead and ordered some replacements tho as I'll eventually need to replace them. Thanks a million, get to return my new controller.

Last month I took 2 PS5 controllers to fix the problem, and cost me 25dollars each. This video save me big bucks in the future. Thank you so much.

Nice tutorial great job

It sucks that Sony can't just give us a good controller with good joysticks, they expect you to take your PS five and your controller apart to keep fixing problems.

This actually worked it took me a couple of tries but I finally got it thanks for the tips man

I bought a brand NEW hot pink ps5 controller from best buy a month ago, 3 weeks in and it already had the most intense drift on the left stick. Nothing new as i suffer constantly from faulty controllers (i even recently threw away 6 old ps4 controllers due them all having horrible stick drift!!). This popped up for me randomly and I'm so socked to find out that it is all that needed to be done to save them 😢. The amount of damn money I've spend in controllers is huge but this doesn't look that hard honestly. Very well made video and thank you for showing people how to fix things that otherwise we would be oblivious to!

You buy a fancy $200 remote only for it to have stick drift the 2nd month of owning it

Man I really can't do this but my dad got screwed over so I can't send it back either, can't I just drop it a few more times man I feel like a piece if you understand
