Jun Zeng's Hall Effect Sticks - PS5/Xbox Installation & Calibration 

this video is a godsend, tried to do it myself just based off the image on the product page and definitely bridged some contacts. thank you for saving my sanity

That is a really clever solution! I'm going to have to pick up a few once the cost goes down a bit.

yooo that is so sick, way better than the analog ones where you have two screws

Amazing work. I have no confidence that I can do this without making a lot of mistakes and a high cost learning curve. I should try this on controllers I wouldn't' mind messing up. Great video, thank you sir!

Completed the install on a friend's PS5 controller. I've also fitted his controller with some Extremerate goodies including the Rise 4 RMB back button kit, Extremerate Clicky face buttons and clicky triggers/shoulders, and swappable dualsense edge style thumbstick caps. Its a DIY pro controller now. Didn't manage to test how the controller fares when adaptive triggers or other features were being used, but the sticks are incredible in the limited testing I've done so far whilst I wait to return the controller to my friend. I'll also add: for the Extremerate Rise 4 install, I've also managed to successfully solder in the mappable thumbstick L3 R3 ribbon cable and also the mouse button solder point. I had to snip away and remove parts of the solder points on the L3 R3 FPC to allow the ribbon cable to solder in neatly at relevant L3, R3 solder points at the Jun Zheng board in order to minimise the risk of bridging. This install was certainly quite challenging for someone like me that's reasonably experienced with hand soldering/desoldering. Had a share of near misses, but thankfully I didn't ruin anything beyond a point where I couldn't fix it. Edit: The desoldering of the original stick box was really challenging for me and I had to destroy and cut the OG stick box in order to desolder. And soldering the correction board's middle pin hole to the Dualsense 5's pcb was also tough. I struggled getting solder to flow even using the wire trick. Instead, I soldered the middle points together first, then threaded the insulated pin afterwards. If I applied too much solder and blocked the through hole, I simply used solder wick + flux to remove any excess until the through hole was hollow again. It was a balance of applying enough solder to make a good connection, but also not overdoing it and accidentally blocking the through hole.

I don't think the gap on the ps5 is because of the board. They really don't come anywhere near the plastic case. I've put these boards in two of my controllers and neither has a gap. I think your gap is caused by not putting back the little white clips on either side of the charging pads when you reassembled. Also if you don't have a vacuum desoldering pump, it's easy to remove these sticks with a cheap heat gun. Before heating, add some solder to each joint. The mixing of fresh soldering wire with the factory solder will lower the melting point. Then mask off the board with aluminum foil to avoid melting any plastic. Gently heat the back side of the joystick until the solder gets wet. Careful not to use too much heat, even with the foil you can ruin a board by melting the ribbon connector ports. Keep only the one area hot. Gently tub on the analog stick from below with a pliers as it heats up and eventually it will just pull out. Now you can do any cleanup with some cheap solder wick and your iron, or you can use a cheap manual solder pump to clean it out. Just keep the area hot with the heat gun and pump away the last little bits with your hand pump. Heat gun + solder pump + wick is a hell of a lot less expensive than a vacuum desoldering tool. Just takes longer.

Somehow this video is a better instruction than both Jun Zheng's "detail" videos, you two show cooperate :-)

Because I'm so tired of carbon potentiometers I ended up buying a gamesir G7 SE, but since I know how to solder decently. i'm actually down to do all this to my old elite 1 controller. I just needed this video to attempt it.

Would this fit the xbox elite v2 controller? I see hall effect sticks available, but none come with the pcb. Although the pcb's are sold separately.

Cool, finally Hall Effects for their branded controllers. Dreamcast may have the best console Hall Effect controllers which had it 26 years ago! It was truly ahead oif it's time. I bet they did that specifically for the father of all open-world games: Shenmue which is still the best open world game in terms of how it makes you feel and enjoy (not a grind, it's not to say GTA, Arkham and other are not good games but sometimes you just want to finish the Riddler trophies already to see the real ending X-D but you have to grind). God bless.

Very Hardwork ❤

So I am curious. Are these blue hall effects able to be used interchangeable on the PS5/PS4/Xbox? I noticed that all models have a different resistance on those axles but didn't think it mattered since this board would correct it and modify as needed.

Hello, can you please do te video for the v5 jun zeng modules?

Where can I buy the kit? The Aliexpress link Is dead, I cannot find it anywhere damm

Is the one you linked "Orange Module ( With Calibration Holes )", the version 2 you were talking about? Thinking about ordering myself.

Does that mean that I won't be able to calibrate the joists that are outside the center if I don't place that black circuit? Is it 100% necessary or can it be calibrated without the need for that circuit? I enter the program on the PC you show, but it doesn't let me enter any of the a, b and s options 🤷‍♂️

I put the analog on my ps4 controller and it stop working if I remove it starts to work again what do I do? Is it faulty?

Where did you get that small tube? Also, any specific wire I can buy for connecting the joystick module though the tube to the pcb? Your video is the best so far and I can do this. Is there a kit that comes with everything?

Does the pcb board works with orange potentiometers? (Hall rock effect)?

One question: I also installed Hall Sticks on a XBox controller and notived afterwards that the LT/RT Buttons also work with hall sensors. After testing it, I could see how the hall sensor in the sticks gets disturbed by the magnets on the trigger. For my normal Xbox controller I bought clicky buttons from extremerate and want to remove the magnet. You seem to only built in the hall sticks. How did you work around that problem? I guess the scuff you have there will work with the same hall technology for the LT/RT buttons. I do not see a proper solution there since installing the board and calibrating it with software means that it will be centered until I press the LT button (which has its hall sensor right under the sicks). That would cause the left stick to drift a little up or down. I would be very greatfull, if you could tell me a proper solution on that or at least how y9ou fought that problem. Thanks a lot and great video!

Do you have any tips on soldering the wire to the middle pins? I feel like i just burn the plastic

Gulikit said they're making Hall sticks right? Maybe they can make em just right (or not 🤷 )

Is there a way he could change the design so that the wire bridging wouldnt be needed?

Ordered mine in november 15, I'm waiting it arrives, but the gap in the DualSense shell is a new information for me, not mentioned in the seller description or in the reviews... Sad... I don't want to cut my battery older... However nice video thanks 👍

I want to doublecheck something. Are the Jun Zheng PS5 hall effect kits compatible with the Extremerate Rise 4 remappable back button kits? I've got a PS5 BDM-010 controller which I'm modding for a friend. I've ordered the Jun Zheng PS5 hall effect kits back in October, but have yet to fit them. I've also got the extremerate rise4 metal back button remap kit which I'm also planning on fitting. Are the Jun Zheng hall effect kits fully compatible with the extremerate BDM-010 Rise 4 kits? Eg, will the power draw from the Dualsense, the Jun Zheng hall effect kit, and the extremerate back button kit all work nicely together? Will it all work normally even on low battery whilst wireless? Or how about under massive stress testing eg. whilst you're wireless and on low battery + you've plugged in headphones&mic +/- using the controller speaker + using the adaptive triggers + vibrate + touch pad + max LED brightness + sixaxis? I don't know how to correctly figure out the power draw from the extremerate Rise4 back button kit, and I haven't found much info about compatibility between these parts upon reading online just yet. The main reason I ask is because an older extremerate Lofty back button kit I fitted on my xbox one controller (in 2021) used to malfunction at low battery level. I use the white rechargeable Eneloops which are rated with the lower 1.2A per AA rather than the standard 1.5A seen on disposable alkaline AA batteries.

13:00 I mean, when you put it that way, the yellow sticks don't seem so bad either. I'm a bit worried by the jitter though, I think games on steam are more sensitive to it than on console. For context, I need to fix an Xbox controller with drift but I thought that maybe upgrading to hall effect sticks would've been better for longevity. I'm not sure whether I can take the downsides or not...

Hey, great video! I tried replacing the joystick potentiometers on my PS5 controller and now it blinks orange three times, won’t turn on, and won’t appear on gamepad tester. Any thoughts on how to fix it or what could cause it? Hard reset button doesn’t fix it

I have a new dualsense purple color and I find that small gap so is it normal?

wait so can you install the Orange sticks with Jun's board? or does it have to be the blue ones?

VK you don't know if this will work for the elite series 2 controller do you? I would assume it would.

i hope all controller for next gen had this technology, so gamers not worry about stick drift again

What gauge of wire would you use in the insulated tube? I dont have old fans around

There's an online tool that will write calibration info to the firmware too, now, so after physically installing the orange or yellow modules you may be able to improve circularity with that idk

I've read that the orange one is overall better compared to the blue one, could you maybe try soldering one and compare it with the blue? It should be compatible.

@VK's Channel What does bad circularity mean/effect actually?

Very nice video and informative - as the other ones on your channel. Big thank you! Do think the Jun Module would work with a Nintendo Pro controller? I'm very curious about this option.

Can you show connection scheme for JDM-030, because I connected everything as you shown and received short circuit, because one of the pins you show to bridge is ground on JDM-030. So what to do now?

can the calibration board still used with an orange hall stick?

Are they working for nacom revolution pads ?

Could you put Hall effect sticks into a razer Wolverine?

would this be possible on a scuf prestige controller? or is there any way for me to pay you to do it to my controller

Hey Can you calibrate the stick without the board? The jun Calibration Board link says that the item is not availible for my country (germany) but the sticks are availible

Also, any ideas where to buy these sticks for UK and Europe currently? Jun Zheng isn't selling here currently, and other sellers such as VaalPaev, New Chip Store, and Gamer Zone Store seem to selling their driver/stick combinations but I don't know if they're of the same quality as Jun Zheng's. Its also not clear whether they come with the nicer spare sticks which Jun Zheng used to ship out.

I have yet made it work for me… the board just reads 0 on the pins. I guess I'll need to for go the circularity for now. Just the hall effect sensors are pretty good on their own already

@VKsChannel can you try to swap a dual sense edge stick module with a hall effect analog ?

How many watts is your desoldering gun? Seems to work like a charm. Found one on amazon, looks exactly the same, but only 40w, sounds weak compared to what you're showing.

I've done several successful installations on Dualsense controllers and have just tried my first Xbox controller today. After connecting to the gamepad tester site both sticks are displaying as if they're stuck in the diagonal down/right position. I'm using the newer v5/v5.1 driver boards for the right and left respectively. It's tricky to see from the example in this video where my issue could be as the layout is different. Also the images on AliExpress seem to be missing a connection from the outer-pin also. Does anyone have a link for a good schematic for the v5/v5.1 boards?

HI @VKsChannel are Calibration mode for the ps4 dualshock as same PS5/Xbox or different ? if different how to and enter Calibration for the ps4 daulshock ? l

Thank you for the good vid. It looks a little tricky to install and more difficult to reinstall. I expect a product that is easier to install. Will ms and sony put hall sensors in the next generation of controllers? So far, it seems very negative.

does this apply to the elite series as well?

I went on Ali to buy some hall effect sticks and a soldering iron. Not sure if the ones I bought wete good. But I needed a cheap soldering iron for some projects and managed to score one for 0.45 euro (Ali keeps offering me insane deals, they called it newcomer deals or something but when I logged it it was still the same price. I think it's because I used to order a lot there and haven't ordered anything in the past year or two. Was planning to get some optical yellow gateron switches for the old gk61 I've got laying around since I started using mouse and keyboard for warzone due to every controller starting to drift after a while. And I play on super high sens so drift makes it really hard to be accurate.) Ps the soldering iron comes with a bunch of tips, solder etc etc. basically everything you need for a simpel project. So I guess I'm finally fixing my JBL charge 3 that's been broken for a few years now (fell down a flight of stairs, think a cable went loose)

what are the best hall effect sticks?

I wonder if the Xbox mod would work on the Elite series 2.

Hi. Is the calibration board only needed for the blue analog sticks or is needed for both, blue/orange?. Thanks in advance.

U can calibrate dualse in same steps?

Could only the Azul be installed without the correction plate?

Hey man waths up? Is there any deadzone or delay on this hall effect sticks? Do you recomend replacing over the original sony sticks?

Do I have to use the sticks and boards together? I'm asking because I bought Hall effect sticks from another manufacturer before I knew these were available. So I just bought the boards since I already had the sticks. I can't seem to get into calibration mode.

What desoldering iron machine do you use ?

Can you tell me please how to enter mode A For calibration to a ps 5 controller..I changed the joysticks to Hall effect and can not enter the calibration mode

How to calibrare circularity that yellow analog version? The circularity is very bad

A vid on the Jun Zeng modules in the Xbox elite series 2 controller would be great. Thnx

I have a question... Was thinking about installing hall sticks for my xbox controllers but... As we all know, xbox controllers are using magnet triggers, and for the LT the sensor is under the left analog stick. Does pushing the left trigger cause any issues on the left stick? Like drifting or decalibrating the stick? Have you tested that? 😮

Will this work for an xbox 360 controller?

Did they change the boards? The link goes to the stick but the boards look way differet

Can you try these on DualSense Edge stick modules?

Para que entre en esos modos es necesario instalar ese kit de calibración?

Boa noite, tudo bem? Amigo, eu consigo calibrar o analógico do meu xbox xs com analógico sensor haus ou com os analógicos originais?

Does the hall effect magnets get affected by the magnets on the thumbsticks on Xbox Elite controllers? Make that vid

Will this work for 3rd party? Like the Rainbow 2 pro?

Awesome video but what the cost with time and effort vs just buying a new controller

Does adjusting the circularity make it so the shape is more circle than square? I just got a new controller with Hall Effect joysticks and the circularity test is showing the shape as a square rather than a circle and it's creating additional dead zone diagonally.

Would you happen to know the diameter of the outside/inside of the insulating tube?

Hi there! I installed the hall effect on both of my controllers, just like u showed us it ran smooth and perfectly! Today however, the left stick seemed to be stuck, it got "stuck" on left all the way. Faulty hall effect I thought, so I replaced it but still maximum left input signal, adjusting didn't work, resetting the controller does not work either... That happened on both controllers. Any idea why? Cheers!

This looks way more complicated than I expected.

Does the mod work with xbox one controller?

Will this work on elite controller

Hey just wanted to say desolder pumps are cool in all but ripped pads from heat damage are not Use low temp chip removal solder stuff is a life saver and will work on the sticks I've removed them with it myself and recommend this over all removal methods as it's the safest for the board and pads for the experience Use solder wick to roughly absorb most of the original solder then let it cool down add some Flux and go to town with the low temp solder just hardly touching it after its melted in and then work the stick with a cloth padded screw driver spudger and best of all a wooden stick and they pop right out every time safe and sound High temp solder temp solder removal tools are nice but if ur unexpierenced it could be an easy disaster so I hope this saved a few boards out there 🙏

1:26 this looks awesome. Where can I get one?

what are the insulated tubes for?

Please update the first link with Jun Module ( With Calibration Board )

Can somebody point me to the app you're using to help debug the controller and also a guide on how to enter the different modes you're entering while debugging? Thank you

Hi! Love your videos!! Im trying to buy this kit but i can not find it... could you help me? Keep it up with the awesomes videos!

All problem is the spring inside .we need two bolt for the ajust presure the spring in eje Y and X.

So where can I send you one of my controllers to be upgraded and how much?😅😅

Does it have to have the PCB driver or would it work without it

This is a step forward, but I don't think I'm willing to do something like this. I've soldered a few things and fuxed a few consoles, but I believe this is still too much for me.

Can we install that on an Xbox Elite Controller ?

i ordered these and it said it was going to be delivered in 2024 do you think it will take that long? (im in the US)

To those who actually wanna try this and are struggling to remove the joystick module from the board, I find it easier to break down the joystick module until it is just bare pins and metal then to seperate those and desolder each pin individually (believe me, I ruined 3 controllers until I learned this trick myself, there is no damage to the board)

hi the jun link is not working

Please make Review of vetop Zeus 2... I buy two of them ... For me is the ultimate controll ... Many funcions and AMAZING construction..

Is the calibration board out of stock?

Hmm, the flexibility that it adds to the sticks (config center point, and range, etc.) is awesome to have. BUT.. There are some BUTTS.. How's the latency.. (of course, that question only applies to setups which would enable this to be a quantifiable metric.. as in, not on a console for ex. ) ? I assume the jitter filtering (buffer and processing) alone would be the one factor that would make zero latency an impossibility to begin with. I also do assume that these little PCA's would work perfectly fine on the standard/original pots, enabling you with all of the extra setup (although.. at the cost of the added latency!. ) Other than this, I find that the back case of the DualSense not properly sitting after the mod is unacceptable (maybe a newer revision on a Flex PCB would fix this in the future.. ) Maybe that newer revision could even come with a switch to turn the jitter filtering off (removing the added latency) in order to use with the original pots..

Was it easy desoldering with that pump?

It’s not letting me go into the mode so I can do the edges

Good that this board is not needed anymore . Correct on the stick the drift through the hole in the Poti abd then Center it through Software to full center

why does the middle pin need to be insolated?

Hey, Im doing the exactly same thing your are doing to calibrate the sticks. But its just not working for me. When I tilt the stick and plug it in nothing is happening. Its just as normal. Please help me

A new version of this is out, Brother Iron Dugi😢😢
