Finally! Hall Effect sticks for DualSense and XBOX! ...but are they good?

[MansMan]

Hall Effect stick modules for the DualSense Edge will sell like hotcakes.

Thank you for this video. I've started researching hall effect sticks and controllers since my xbox controller has started to get drift and hadn't considered the noise or other issues they might have.

[divergentthinking]

My PlayStation 5 is 4 months old and I have the worst stick drift then I ever had on a PS4 I mean it's straight up ridiculous after complaining all week I decided to educate myself and here I am I hit the gold mine. I've got Cereable palsy and have to pinch the controller between my legs and order to play so needless to say I I'm rough on these controllers. Looking forward to checking out your store 2. I really appreciate the information thanks for making a video about these that I could understand😊

[pootnannies]

these ps5 versions are really hard to calibrate manually but i've found that taking off the sensor and giving the magnet several spins helps. the tolerance is a little too tight from the factory.

So we just gonna ignore his aim on gridshot with a controller? That was amazing lol.

I got some hall effect sticks installed on my controller last Sunday. They work great, and they feel very similar to dualshock if not a little smoother. They did have to be soldered on but I was lucky enough to find some help and videos on it. Definitely a good option if you have a drift problem.

I'll update in a few months to give a full opinion on them

They work phenomenally in Dualshock4 with the calibration tool. As for right now the dual sense and Xbox controller require extra pcbs to properly calibrate center and rotation. 👎. Other wise the easiest fix is adding a larger deadzone via game or external software(ds4 windows/Rewasd).

Marius has gone very quiet on his Hall effect sticks so I hope these coming on the scene hasn’t discouraged him. I’d love to see a frictionless mod on one of his sticks or even on if these ones.

I saw a few videos where a guy is making a board you can solder behind these sticks which filters out the noise and also lets you improve the calibration. He said he was selling it in Ali Express but I haven’t had a look yet. Might be interesting to test, I hope they don’t introduce any extra latency.

Any idea what sensor these sticks are using?

The 8bitdo ultimate (bluetooth with 2.4ghz) actually been using gulikit hall effect stick since released.

[juanyanez]

Im definitely waiting on replacable sticks with that technology to install on all my controllers

[azure]

One of the problems with getting higher quality hall effect sticks specifically in controllers now is that Gulikit has an active patent for it. So pretty much the only place you'd find commercial sensors would be from them or K Silver who they have a distribution deal with.
Which is kind of sad since Hall Effect isnt a particularly new technology for buttons and controllers and its been around for decades, even some later revision of the Dualshock 3 controllers had hall effect sticks in them that were properly calibrated so even Sony at one point was manufacturing them in the past.

[Dreadhead]

Damn, reading the comments really makes ne feel dumb.
Juar love the gaming community!❤
And great video!

What happened to the gulikit ps5 edge Hall effect replacement kit? The controller is modular so it should be easy to Replace and sell.

[beavykins]

I ordered a couple of these a few days ago and was thinking of sticking them in my elite 2 or standard series controller. I heard about the jitter previously though so now I’m wondering if it’s at all worth the effort.

[dezdem]

A new revision "New Enhanced 3.0 Hall Effect" came out, it's claimed to have fixed the jitter and have better deadzones. Could you review these? 🙏🏻

[blackulrich]

For Dualshock 4 there's a calibration tool software that removes the noise and set the min and max range (for better circularity)

And the same calibration tool is available for Dualsense, you can check if this solves the accuracy

and if you can't use the calibration tool for example in an Xbox controller, there's a board to enable a calibration mode directly in the gamepad

Calibration is essential because this controllers are no supposed to use hall effect sensors so they aren't calibrated for this

[zedxspecturm]

Been trying to switch to hal effect sensors and this seem cool. Might try it on my Xbox controller

[tomwoggle]

The difference in circularity error probably results from your thumb stick attachment on the right, not from the different sensors. My brand new Dualsense controller has the same circular error as your left stick with the hall effect sensor does.

[kliverjohn]

How to learn about this stick? I want replace my controller stick. But don't know what to buy.

[SevenDeMagnus]

Cool, that's peace of mind with a one time soldering effort but it'll last for year should the DualSense or Dualshock 4 (is it compatible with DualShock 4?) has drift.

God bless.
