PS5 Controller Drift Permanent Fix - How to Install New Hall Effect Magnetic Sticks - Finally!!! 

Let me become a technician and buy my own tools to install a fucking anti stick drift. How about these fucking multi billion companies do that for me

So when i have hall efect Sticks i can't i get Stick drift right?

I was not convinced about that heated pump but adding low melt solder did the trick and now I will go for this procedure and tool. Thanks.

Very informative video. Wish I could do this. I have 2 controllers with bad drift. But recently lost everything due to house fire (total loss). Gaming is my escape from this, when I have time.

to everyone that ever uses the controller tester, all the circularity test does is test whether the stick has a radial or circular calculation and how far off it is from a circle, if it comes out looking like a square shape and is around 20 percent its not broken or worse it just doesn't have a radial calculation witch i would argue is better for fps games anyway but its just preference and weather you think of aiming as up, down, left, right or the angle of the stick multiplied by the distance from the center of the stick. what you want to look out for with the test is when some parts of the stick are inconsistent with the rest of the stick such as having parts of the stick that do not even reach the edge of the circle but the rest of it does. i would say if you were actually trying to gauge how much error is in the stick, i would test the sticks, decide if its supposed to be a square or a circle, if its a circle your average error works as normal where from 0 to the avg error number on screen is your average error but if its a square it would be the average error on screen minus 20 percent. though i allways thought the radial calculations you get on ps4 and 5 controllers are coded in to the firmware of the controller from the factory so it looks like who ever makes these sticks is converting them to square coordinates on the board inside the hall sensors

I messed up 2 controllers with a ali heatgun,its hard to find the right temperature,the low meltpoint tin is a must.We are learning,thank you for this video.I see i'm not the only one making this beginner mistake.Maybe it's an idea to put some links for used materials for your viewers.Great work,sony making billions with these old fashion potentiometers.Hall leluja!

I have zero experience soldering or anything like this. I wonder if I will be able to accomplish the Hall effect installation. I don’t wanna buy another controller that’s just gonna drift again. UGH! Should I try this if I have zero experience?

hey, would be aweesome if you can do some mods of hall effect for dualsense edge.. I would definitely buy from you..

So 8 months later. What’s it like now my guy? Still working good? I need to replace my joysticks and I might get the Hall effect ones lmk how they are now please 😊

annoying opening sound

PokeMAN gotCHA :D

Definitely an improvement over the original sticks but the deadzone is still not perfect. I have a Gamesir g7se controller with Hall effect sticks and when testing them on this website they are like .00020 and their deadzones is 2% at best. Now if it was possible to get the sticks Gamesir uses, that would be ideal

How is the controller doing after 4 months?

Great video . Thanks for going into detail along the way . Just a warning though for those who are thinking of doing this to their own controllers . Desoldering and removing ANY components from a circuit board is not as easy as it looks . You need the right gear and there are a lot of variables that come into play . Have your desolderer / soldering iron too hot and you risk burning the traces on the circuit board . Too cold and you risk lifting the traces as you remove the component . Experience is the key . Also , where did you buy that gold trim piece for your Sony repaired controller ? Looks awesome .

Do you still use the same method until now?

The problem isn't halsensor or resistor lol problem it's the pin.

Hi, great video! Really helpful because I want to install these myself. Would you happen to have a pair to spare? If you don’t, no worries and keep up the good work! 👍 maybe you could send me the link to that 10 pack?

Did man just say Poke man 😂 That aside, enjoyed the video so far and looking forward to hopefully controllers free of drift

Thanks for explaining how to calibrate it properly

I went through 5 controllers the first year until I bought the dual sense. I returned 2, broke one trying to fix it, but i still have 2 that have drift stick that I'm going to try and fix

You can also turn down the resolution on the ps5 as well.

Hello. We tried to replace one joystick with the hall effect one. Now when I test the controller, I turn it on and it flashes orange 3 times. Did I do something wrong or do I need to replace both for it to work? Also, on the gamepad test it shows up but the signal is “ticking” and both sticks go to lower right corner all the time. Thanks

I been telling my Lil brother to contact Sony.... Walmart won't even swap'em out. 14 Days is really all I get. As long as Sony fix it. Our stick drift is so bad, trying to play basketball and ur guy keeps running out of bounds lol.......not fair

Please try it on fortnite, go into creative (practice mode) then into a private lobby on a 1v1 or something. Set deadzones to 6 and 6 which is what a lot of the pro players use and see if you have drift then. I’d be very curious and I bet a lot of other people would too. For me this is an extremely good way to test the amount of drift. Playing on a random game where dead zones either aren’t important or not even a setting isn’t the best way to tell the amount of drift. I’ve had a whole lot of drift issues but I have a controller that I’ve played with for 1-1 and half years with no drift even on 6-6. Then I have one where it’s had a lot of issues where aim have tried to fix for me but it’s not been great and I’m currently sending it back again to get fixed. I hope this makes sense. I know it would be a very important video that I would love to see. Hopefully you think so too and that it’s worth your time and effort.

Do you know of any good repair shops than can install them? Or do you do them?

After hundreds, even thousands of hours of hard use on some controllers, , I recently had my first encounter with stick drift. On the Dualsense Edge. Is it a concidence that they flog hot swappable replacements for thumbsticks on these?

what about i'll SEE alot of reporta these magnetic Hall effect joysticks have issues in the mid-range. From your experience, do you know what the correct replacement would be? This can affect gameplay or precise control in applications where smooth and reliable input is crucial. If you've encountered this problem, could you share your insights on whether this is a common issue and what the best replacement option might be? We appreciate your experience could help others facing this

I so so need some of these mate. I have 6 controllers laying around and only 2 work right , newer ones lmao. Are they still working good. I live the video. Very good content. Thank you for sharing this

Too much work. Spray DeoxIT D5 into the stick. Done.

Ordered halls affect sticks and soldering kit . What's the chemical you use to clean with ,good video mate

20 percent is horrible

great job!!! You made it look easy

So in the listing you has the blue hall effect joystick but your using the yellow ones are the blue ones better or something?

Great video. I've got two controllers that are experiencing this kind of drift. I have replacement potentiometers on the way as both controllers have cracked ones. Hoping that manages to fix the issue. If not, I'll be going this route as well.

Thanks for this. Fixed my controller up no problems. 👌

I have one with drift I use it for racing games

I'm not having sick drift, but it's odd outside of a game my controller works with no problem but when in game or application it's completely dead the only inputs that work is the ps button the share and options and when i use a controller tester all buttons light up and work except L2 which instead of dark blue it's a light color and R2 doesn't register at all

Can I just send you my controllers and pay you for the parts and labor?

comment

hi

Was wondering could you use ps4 analog sticks. They look the same.

Great video, but no link where you bought those? tsk tsk tsk... shame

Great video. If my controllers ever go out, I'll just buy a DualSense Edge. You can replace the stick modules.

Very informative video! I have one controller that happens to be my newest one with this issue. Again, you make it look easy.

Where did you get the hall stick stufff. Can you link . I am on my 4th controller it's becoming very annyoing and expensive

sir which soldering iron used for remove analog joystick. can you send link for purchase

Hope to win

how have the sticks held up? very interested in picking up a pair but a bit concerned about the dead zones, i mostly play apex legends with 0-1% dead zone. how did it feel while playing returnal? great video btw

Subbed

Now we need a Xbox elite series 2 controller done lol😂

Hey I couldn’t find the links for the items in the description you used could you add them?

The reason your seeing the square pattern in the gamepad testing site is because new hall effect sticks don't offer any control over the range or circularity. The orange v3 modules you've installed have manual settings on the unit itself for centre point calibration but that's all.. To accurately set the centre point, range and circularity you need to install Jun Zeng's calibration modules. They give you total control over tuning the sticks and the result is working hall effect sticks with greater accuracy than a brand new Dualsense straight out of the box.

Bad lighting to dark

That circularity isn't good at all.

couldn't fully tell in the video as I have no idea, but you may have gotten the bad batch that cant make circles correctly if you continuously spin it does it mess up after the first or so rotation?

Did Sony charge you for fixing it? And could you please tell me how to go about it? Thank you.👍

Super duper

Yellow hall effect with red chip is useless. It has lag on fast movement at up and left direction. See in 15:00 circularity test. When fast movement, it doesn't reach 100%

Great job 👏

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!

Did u test the circularity with the black plastic cover on? I think it might be a good idea to put the plastic cover on for that test

Some hall effect sticks have a dead zone at the edge (not the center). Have you tested for this?

Great video I have 3 controllers all with drift stuck in a drawer so definitely worth a try 👍 do you have any other links for the replacements Amazon have sold out cheers 👍

thank you for this video Im new in the game and I got me the play station 5 . do you need to change the sticks Hall effect on the new controller or just when they start giving problem? thank you.

Great video you have gone really into depth. Controller is on it's way out,so will try this thanks👍
