0:30 were those backgrounds really necessary lol. "Now, does that fix the stick drift" *lightspeed*

So, in other words, buy a new controller.

Right dam

@@MyButtsBeenWiped if you do buy a new controller, save the old one and use it for practice soldering and replace the joystick. long term you will save alot of money if you learn how to repair these yourself.

hall effect ones should never get stick drift problems as they never have a wiper touch a resistance surface.

True 👍. Other vids were totally useless

Agreed

Yup it's awesome, and now they give you the option to completely replace your analog stick with the dual sense edge for $20 a pop, smh. I like it but $20? Nah.

@@joel3683 Beyond disappointed they did not just use Hall effect sticks. No, they had to reengineer the thing so they could sell you a “solution” over and over. Gross.

What did u do

Newer controllers sacrifice durability for smoother performance I’ve been told

Sony has one year stick drift warranty send it in and get free replacement

You’re not the only one. They’re designed to break. Now they offer 20$ replacements for the edge controller.

My brand new scuf and regular got drift after the soft wear update and I know that's the case because the have the same exact drift on both going up and right, there something faulty with the control software i believe

The sad part is Gamesir makes a G7 SE anti drift controller for Xbox for 40$. They say it’s amazing.

That's the point of companies using this tech, honestly. It's meant to break down and make you buy new peripherals, cause not many people know how to solder and repair. Like, Sony and Microsoft COULD use hall effect pots, but...why? People would buy their controllers less because they won't ever NEED a new one; the controller just wouldn't break down with better tech. In other words, pick up some hobbiest and repair skills and keep them in your back pocket. It can be really cathartic fixing these products on your own, and it ends up being a fine investment in time and money (and it's just better for the environment, anyway).

Unfortunately, companies see controllers as consumable items. If you look at the datasheet from Alpine Alps, the manufacturer of the sticks used in every game console, they say that a stick will last 2 million cycles. Sony could have very easily introduced hall effect sensors but instead they made the edge controller so you can buy more the sticks that will wear out.

The controller that came with my PS5 was completely cooked after a month and now the second one I bought is bugging a month and a half later, idk what to do :/

If both controllers started acting up a month into their lives then that is not a controller issue and nowhere near normal even if you play 8-10 hours a day. Look into your storage and habits. Do you have pets and/or do you eat while playing? I have repaired many controllers where upon opening them find pet hair, dust, and other particulats in the sticks. In your situation, if you aren't comfortable opening up a controller, get some IPA or contact clearer. Without opening the controller, that really is your only option without buying a new one. @@indykid77

You can return them. Sony will replace them if they are that new.

No that piece broke off of the old bracket (white) but it didnt matter because its being replaced

It broke when he was putting it together the first time after cleaning it with the q-tip. You can see him struggle to close it back up and then as soon as he opens it the second time, the little nub falls out. So I think the cleaning worked maybe but he broke the dowel that holds it steady?

seriously he does, i was on a final level of my game and boom started drifting i got my tools and watched him and now i feel like i work for ps5 repairs lol

@@matthewstarks-qw7iyI’m surprised it actually works, thank god I didn’t throw away my older spoiled controller that’s where I got the spare for the new one, it started drifting after a more of purchasing it

Check the description for the links. Thanks for viewing and the love!

@@TheGamer2Know oh yes, i was just stating that it was awesome that you also provided the links, but i didnt word it right, my bad i framed it as a question instead of a statement . I used them to order the parts. Thanks bro!

I'm glad the video help you out man!

Yep gotta open n clean the rubbers

A toothbrush brush should work better as well since a good toothbrush will not leave any risidue or fibers.

@@MugiwarasNakama might be a bit abrasive on the contact strips.

i bought foam q-tips on purpose :V

@@paulbarker8845 not all toothbrushes are made the same. Some are very soft and sensitive. The great thing about using a toothbrush is that the bristles are specifically designed to not come lose and are designed to bend and take more abuse than the object you are scrubbing. You just need to apply the correct amount of pressure. If you are pressing it roughly over the components ofc its going to be abrasive. But with a light touch it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Just make sure it's plastic safe.

Just the screws on the outside of the controller.

How does that work? xP

@@ivanaviNiebla I don’t even know tbh but if there not tightened then it could cause some problems

WTF doesn't Sony fix it? If you and the guy in this video can fix it, can't sony prevent it from happening? Lazy MF's my controller got drift and I did something fu&^%$ up to get a new one.

@@panamike6178 potentiometer tech is garbage for controllers and there is nothing they can do to prevent it. Sure, they could protect the casing better, but it would only delay the inevitable as it wears out. The only thing is to use different tech, which exists and is being used by a company called GuliKit - they make very good controllers compatible with most platforms.

@@MoroseMoe yes , but gulikit king kong 2 pro controller costs $100 with taxes + their controllers have some other issues , I've seen reviews on Amazon, there's No stick drift but other issues in them

Did the drift come back? I know it will eventually but how long did it last?

@Gamer2Know470 really?

ifixit guides, bro. Some of the little ribbon cables can be kinda tricky to get plugged back in on the DualSense, but other than that it's pretty straightforward. You don't even have to tear it down all the way to access the joysticks.

I agree I've done all the other tips and still have the same problem even tho this is my 2nd controller and less than a months use.....it goes straight up and my first I had it over a year and it just spins...I want to fix them but know nothing about taking them apart

@@richarddixon3427 don't bother dude just make sure you get insurance on them because if you take it apart it won't work when you put it back together even if you follow these videos I promise you

@@richarddixon3427 even if you get the toolkit and do everything they say to do something won't work like the battery or the Bluetooth

It's easy, the hardest part is putting the black strip thing back on the front of the pad once you've put the pad back together lol

Oooor contact cleaner so you don't literally thin down the pads..

you talk to much aluminum corner and 800 sandpaper are you a dork or what

Sure bud ruin it to clean it. Real smart

800 grit?? Yeah no... 1500 2000 maybe

Dude nice to hear. Thanks for the support and comment ✌️

Are the potentiometers in the link ps5 or ps4?

@@kosher_boi basically the same tbh

did it work?

@@ramielarab Unfortunately, no. I tried using both actual contact cleaner and alcohol, I cleaned the track inside the case and the wiper disc, but it still registers all the way to the right. I even tried swapping the wiper disc with the one for vertical movement, since that one works fine, but it didn't make any difference. If I rub my finger across the contacts for that pot with the wiper disc removed, it will move to the left, but as soon as I put the disc in and it makes contact, it goes all the way to the right. I have a crappy USB controller that no longer works (and is physically broken), so I was thinking of taking one of the sticks out of that, or maybe just the pot, if they're the same design. My soldering/desoldering skills aren't the greatest though...

@@lurkerrekrul shit😬

I use 50k ohm smd potentiometers connected in parallel on each pot of the stick. Then I can just adjust them when ever i get drift

​@Never0utGunned could you explain this a bit i'm curious what you mean? If you have time no worries

i see what you mean but i have at least done this method over 20 times on my ps4 controller XD

We need more detailed breakdowns

It has been known for a long time that this is the cause of the drift. But did not actually know how to replace these myself. Right now i am installing hall effect sensors in my joycons (hall effect sticks use magnets to determine the sticks position instead of wipers that wear down overtime) they are from gulikit. They told me they where going to make hall effect sticks for the dualsense aswell. I just hope hall effect sensors will become the new standard in new controllers going forth. Sony is not even putting them in the dualsense edge.

Yeah man taking it apart an cleaning it is one thing but once you gotta start SOLDERING chit then fc all that just get a new controller wtf

It was always an issue

@@user-wb9yc2pc3s bru I literally use PS1 & PS2, & PS3 controllers that have had HEAVY use for many years & they don't. But new ones get it like once a year. I'm not saying its impossible, but it used to be far far less common. They used to make stuff better. Now they have planned obsolescence.

Hey bro, where did you get the new potentiometer? I couldn't find it on Amazon India. Please reply.

sooooo any results?

@@Ethan-fz7um one of the two controllers worked. The other one got worse, i suppose it was an error on my part. In any-case, i bought a dual sense edge, and just avoided having this issue ever again, i got it for $130 because it was a open box, great deal. Honestly, if you can save up for a dual sense edge. Ive gone through two controllers that had the same issue.

​@@ReduxVIIwhat do you mean it won't ever happen again? What's the difference with the dual sense edge?

@@pokesnax7935 You can swap them out for new sticks which still isn't ideal. Order a custom controller with " hall effect " joysticks thats the best way to avoid stick drift.

@@pokesnax7935 the dual sense edge uses modern joystick modules referred to ass “Hall Effect” joysticks. Controllers with these type of joysticks very rarely if it at all have drifting issues because drifting is fundamentally a mechanical/physical issue of the potentiometers wearing down or being defective. The “hall effect” joysticks eliminate these issues because they use magnets and electrical conductors to measure their position, distance, and movement. This is why i recommend investing in the dual sense edge, ideally if you can get a good deal…as it is a bit expensive, but well worth it. Or invest in third party controller with these joysticks, which for me personally, isn’t ideal because i prefer the seamless integration put into the dual sense edge because it’s designed specifically with the ps5 in mind and has software built into the console and controller itself to make it more user friendly and ultimately more convenient.

Because the world and everything in it is out to get you and swindle you in any way possible so be paranoid right

The dualsense seems way too over-designed, too much risk of parts malfunctioning

Hope it helps :))

Yup, even if you have like half of one, correct the height and you should be good, I didn't want damage so I bent it down, not identical but 1st try worked, good to know you can just get a new wiper tho

Yes that’s what I do and it’s back like new! 👍🏼

Sadly it didn't work for me and I unintentionally made the issue worse than when I started to try to fix the issue

@@Derpyloshk Hey man idk why I saw this but I did the same thing, make sure you have a clear photo and clean it on both sides. A regular qtip is awful and WILL tear so if you could spring for a sponge, and fr a dry one if not a dab or dap of isopropyl alcohol, it's not the main path to my success but it helps for sure. You can get it about half way and then bend it flat, try to really study the photo and hopefully you can get it, careful with the ribbon wires and best of all great luck bud. I wish I knew where I got my console, I could rely on them to fix it for me but sadly I and many others got real messed up

That's what I thought too. It's a bit suspect that changing the wiper fixed the problem in this video.

If its hardly noticeable or not affecting gameplay dont bother

Same here homie! I thought I was going nuts in the beta

I’m literally having the same issue 😅it’s so damn frustrating

I used to have something similar lol. if I was running and looked to my right I would stop moving. I could only attack people to my left or id die from randomly standing still mid fight 🤣🤣
