Unless you know for sure the potentiometer sensor components are shot, I'd highly recommend trying to clean out the existing ones before purchasing new. Some simple cleaning of the ring track in the outer shell with some alcohol and a Q-tip instantly resolved my massive stick drift issues.

I’ve struggled hard with soldering in the past. I was debating buying the dual sense edge controller, and just swapping out the thumb sticks when they drift (apparently they’re built with the same materials). But it’s the price of 3 controllers (with an extra thumb stick, which you can only acquire from Sony ATM).

This video has solved my problem for around $15 CDN and helped build my confidence up for future console jobs. Maybe I’ll take a stab at soldering again in the future but for now I’d just recommend this video instead.

Thx!

Thanks for this stellar tutorial. Been looking for guide that didn't require me to de solder the sticks and was step by step with detail. You checked all those boxes. Cheers.

Very cool! I'll be soldering though.
I can't believe they reverted back to potentiometers...

This saves me money. 2 controllers fixed with the help of this video. Thanks

You’re the best homie I bought 2 ps5 one for me and my girl. both had drift cleaned both out like you did now they both work. I bought an extra controller but ima put it away for now as both work

new components will come from the factory with a certain amount of dialectric lubricant applied so the end result here will be better than a simple cleaning and reassambly. Can confirm, I've done this with many pots over the years (but it won't fix worn-out springs)

Great video, thank you. I'll definitely try this!

I tried repairing my stick drift with this method, i 1stly replaced potentiometer for only horizontal movement (because my stick was drifting left) but it didn't fix the problem, I've had many parts so i just replaced it again but this time for both horizontal and vertical movement but it didn't fix horizontal one or at least it didn't fix it fully. Now stick zeroes but when i move it slightly to the left i get max value on it (vertical works like a charm after i changed it but there was no problem with it since the beginning). Between every replacement I've cleaned parts with isopropyl alcohol. It still doesn't work well after 3-4 repairs. I keep getting max values when i move joystick slightly to the left.

No need to bend those potentiometers as much. Just bend it enough so you can get into the inside. Doing this 1 or twice more will make it break off.

I take it the 3 metal pegs under the plastic housing that connect to the board are just mounting and not actually electronic components? I want to try this but I'm afraid they'll break when I pry open the housing.

Also I suppose I'll need to clean the housing before replacing the component? I don't have any grease though... I used to have a silicone spray but misplaced it lol

You just need to clean the wipers or put new ones in, it takes longer to take it apart then replacing them and putting it back together I just did all mine and they are like new again
