I have a question. What is a consistent way to remove these. I have messed up 2 series controllers of my own in the past. I started using my plastic pry tool to slowly take them off and have had success each time.
Im just wondering what the people who do repairs use for these and if theres something more safe to not rip pads. Ty
Is this normal?
I bought a Nintendo Switch 2 recently and noticed a bit of overshoot on one of my Joy-Cons. It seems more noticeable on the right one, probably because I use it more.
It doesn’t really affect gameplay, but it bothers me knowing it’s there. I noticed it the most while navigating the menus in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where the stick seems to rebound slightly in the opposite direction after I let go.
Have any of you experienced this as well? Is it considered normal, or should I contact Nintendo for a warranty replacement?
While replacing a joystick with a Hall effect replacement my controller no longer would connect wirelessly (the leds didn’t even come on) but would work fine when connected directly to the console
On opening up again it worked when this cable was “straightened” slightly, not how it is when closed
So I tried to straighten this cable (stupid I know) and it snapped
But I’m not sure what part to order as a replacement for this, any help would be greatly appreciated?
Hi All,
My PS5 Controller having stick drift issue. Please let me know solve this issue. Thanks in advance 🙏
While playing any game randomly my game stops taking any input from the controller and get's stuck in the last recieving input. It doesn't even detect that my controller is disconnected it stops taking any input from it
For example: while drivung or moving if I am turning right and then the controller stucks my character or map will continue to turn right until I remove the dongle and put it back again and connects the controller.
It only shows this error when I am playing on my Laptop (LENOVO LOQ)
In this guide you’ll learn how to:
• Install Hallpi TMR thumbsticks + Calibrating TMR sticks on the Switch 2 console
• Perform a complete Joy-Con 2 shell swap
• Replace all buttons
• Install new magnetic side rails (Mag Rails)
• Safely remove and replace the Joy-Con 2 accent rings without damaging the sticks using a 3D printed tool
The housing around the right trigger/bumper has snapped and the right trigger is smashed. I have a spare trigger but I need to replace the housing. Can anyone tell me what version this is please?
Hello! I’m facing the issue described above. L2 is just loose, R2 is pulsing and working bad, like if it has steps. Figured out playing GTA online, tried on controller demo in Astro bot playroom, same problem. Any help please?
Hi all,
Tried to replace my drifty sticks for TMR ones. After the process was done controller does not turn on at all.
I have a multimeter with me but no knowledge on how/where to use it to verify where things went south.
Does anyone know how to do this type of test?
Appreciate in advance! :)
It's a very messy solder as it's my first time properly soldering something. But like I said, the rest of the joystick works, even the clicking.
Thanks for any help!
My left joystick wouldn't fully click down when it's move forward so for cod when I'm moving forward I try to click the left joystick to sprint and it doesn't work sometimes so I replaced my joysticks just today but now In windows controller calibration or on hardware tester it shows my right joystick being a bit move forward. Is there a way to cancel out the move and make the joystick actually center or do I have to replace the whole joystick again???
Llevo un tiempo reparando controles de Xbox One, Xbox Elite, PS4 y PS5, y quería abrir un debate sobre los joysticks magnéticos (Hall Effect).
He instalado varios en diferentes controles y, sinceramente, no he logrado que ninguno quede funcionando correctamente. En algunos casos presentan drift, en otros el recorrido no es el correcto y, aunque intento calibrarlos, el resultado sigue sin ser bueno.
Por eso tengo varias dudas:
- ¿Realmente los joysticks Hall Effect son compatibles con todos estos controles o existen versiones específicas para cada modelo?
- ¿Es necesario hacer algún tipo de calibración especial además de la normal?
- ¿Hay marcas que funcionen bien y otras que definitivamente es mejor evitar?
- ¿Estoy pasando por alto algún procedimiento durante la instalación?
Aclaro que tengo experiencia cambiando joysticks tradicionales, así que no creo que el problema sea la soldadura. Lo que me hace dudar es que me ha ocurrido en varios controles distintos (Xbox One, Xbox Elite y PS5), por lo que empiezo a pensar que puede ser un tema de compatibilidad o de la calidad de los módulos.
Me gustaría conocer la experiencia de quienes los instalan con frecuencia. ¿Han logrado que queden funcionando al 100 %? ¿Qué marca o proveedor recomiendan? Cualquier consejo técnico o experiencia será bienvenido.
Still learning and any tips are definitely welcome, but I’ve been trying a few new joystick replacements and none of them worked. I even changed the potentiometers and nothing… I also cleaned them out as gently as I could too. In the first pic I was wondering if I burned where the potentiometers are if I burned it too much. Any advice?
Hello guys! Tried to replace the potentiometer on my controller and well… scratch it up quite abit. Do you guys think there’s a chance it would still work? 😅
This is a follow to my post about trying two aseparate sets of TMR sticks on my Xbox series x controller. The left stick would work at first then have server downward drift. It was requested I take the sticks out and show both sides of the board. Let me know if you see anything and have any advice. Thank you all for your help.
Ciao a tutti, il mio dualsense ps5 aveva iniziato ad avere problemi di drifting all analogico sinistro e quindi ho deciso di ordinare i pezzi e ripararlo. Il problema è che smontandolo ho rotto l’letta che penso sia quella che connette i grilletti del joystick. Quando ho rimontato tutto, funzionava, non ha più problemi di Drifting ma non riesco a giocare a nessun gioco, perché è come se restasse premuto il tasto L2.
Nello specifico il collegamento che ho rotto è questo che si vede in foto.
Qualcuno puo confermarmi se è quello che collega i grilletti? Sapete dove posso acquistarlo? Non riesco a trovare questo ricambio su internet.
Grazie
Hi everyone, I’ve been a PlayStation player for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned every console from the PS1 to the PS5, and up until the PS4 I never had any major issues with controllers.
With the PS5, however, I’ve had a terrible experience with the DualSense controllers. I’ve already had to buy two controllers because both started having drift issues. I even had one of them repaired once, spending around €30/40, but after a while the problem came back. Right now, neither of them works properly, and I basically haven’t been able to play my PS5 for about four months.
The frustrating thing is that repairing it costs money, buying a new one costs around €60, and then I’m afraid the same problem will come back after a few months. It’s becoming a constant extra cost just to use the console.
I don’t want to start a console war: I would honestly be really sorry to switch to Xbox after almost 25 years of PlayStation, but at this point I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.
Has anyone found a more permanent solution?
Is it worth having different analog sticks installed, like Hall Effect ones? Is it better to buy a DualSense Edge, or can that have the same problem too? Are there any reliable repair shops or methods to prevent the drift from coming back?
Thanks to anyone who can give me some concrete advice.

any insight to fix right joystick, best places to buy a replacement and any suggestions on what tools to buy to do it myself at home
if I can’t easily fix it I’ll just buy another controller.
Any suggestions? Where can i buy a replacement? Or if there is a better custom joystick that i can buy and make sures this doesn't happen again.
The first pic is the damaged part that I’m trying to replace. I’ve used AI and scoured Amazon looking for a replacement. I found a few that were very close, but nothing is an exact match. They seem to be either too wide or too skinny. If anybody can help me, that would be great because I’ve emailed DOIO at least 10 times and have heard nothing. Major bummer considering how much money I have spent with them and they cannot even help with a replacement cable. Or a link to a replacement cable that would take them 30 seconds. I love this joystick and that’s the only reason that I’m going to keep it. The customer service is terrible. It’s mind blowing, but I swear that they are ignoring me. I looked at my credit card statement and I spent over $700 with them this year alone. Every time I’ve reached out it says if they are doing me a favor to answer an email. Am I the only one that has had a bad experience? I just want to fix this joystick and keep it moving, but I can’t get a response so I figured I would try here. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.
