wow this is the easiest way i found..i thought i had to change the whole joystick. needed a heatgun and all that. this is actually much easier to just change the potentiometer. thank you!

I replaced the sliders inside for my right joystick & it worked perfectly. This was the first video I watched on the drifting problem so I had to leave a comment.

Awesome job! Once you broke out the soldering gun, my confidence dropped 😂. You make it easy.

Very useful video (for more reasons) but, since it takes several skills in soldering + perfect soldering iron + perfect tin + perfect soldering iron temperature, tin suction pump (cleaner work) (so, absolutely not base tools as not base skills) to do all this, instead of replacing the potentiometers, I recommend simply using dry cleaner electrical contact spray (perhaps the same one you used to clean the soldering iron) directly on the potentiometers and you will go on for years without replacing the potentiometers... then you will do it with base tools

opening up the DS4 was so easy and putting it back too but this one seem like a lot of things could go wrong.

Start with just cleaning the potetiometer with alcohol or electronic cleaner. The black rings on the green part and just change the white wipers. No soldering needed and works 85 percent of the time. Nice video. The method in video will work best if you have had the controller a long time and are hard on the sticks.

Use flux and a copper braid to remove any remaining solder from the contacts. Always use flux when soldering, wetting and surface tension. You can also check the resistance of the potentiometers before installation. And please, clean the soldering iron tip.

Can you install a Hall Effect potentiometer instead of the regular one using this exact method ?? Like would the regular joystick work with a Hall Effect potentiometer or is the hardware different??

Perfect job

Thanks

ganda ng video, ganito kelangan natin sa Pinoy KZfaqrs or content creators yun may matutunan ka, hindi puro pa cute at pa raffle

Just take the little round thing out of the green thing and clean both things. Worked for me. I used rubbing alchohol and qtips.

Better use a Hall Sensor. You can also buy just the compatible hall effect "pots" ... This together with the new calibration sw solves the drift issue permanently.

Can you SEND program the base tools?

OR JUST GRAB HALL EFFECT STICK BOXES. WHY SOLDER IF ITS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

Hello..You play DMZ call of duty with ps5 controller.. I can’t play the game show me the controller of Xbox buttons to play

Idea: Could you give a fair price range for each repair that you do? That way, we (the ignorant) have a better better idea of someone giving us a fair shake.

Man you think you can teach me how to do all the soldering?

replace only the white piece inside , more easy , same result 6:05 , no need for unsoldering the whole piece ( the green one ) , but thx man for your time

Nice video

good video 👍 😁😊 🇩🇴

Which cable is the one you took out on 2:43? I accidentally ripped that one and need to look for a replacement online

The orange ones have a different electrical resistance than the green ones. They are not interchangeable! This will usually lead to very high sensitivity. Have you checked the difference?

Do I need a heat gun?

I wanna do this but i’m so terrified of soldering. Especially when it comes down to the black and red wires.. the soldering of the pot looks fairly simple though

The analog joystick is still the same as the previous version, it is easily damaged, with a more complicated machine board, it is even more difficult to replace it, for some reason Sony doesn't make the analog one easily removable, even though I hope it is replaced with a socket model

What temperature did you have it to desolder? I tried today and could not get it it to separate

I opend it took out both "discs" and replaced them with those from old dualshock 4.

Hey can you help please i changed the sensor while ps5 was in rest mode added a ps4 sensor that white thing but while i pluged the battery got a orange light blink later when i put the cover and everything together still the orange light blinked when i pressed the ps button later found out ps4 sensor are different so that might be the issue so restored back old sensor still facing the orange light issue. Tried resetting by pin from back of the controller still just gives orange light any idea whats wrong

Damn I thought he was a werewolf 😅😅

I don't own a PS5 since I'm a Xbox player but opening a PS5 controller looks way more harder than opening a Xbox controller. This is why I prefer to not have a built in battery pack over either the choice of batteries or a interchangeable battery pack.

Can you please fix my ps5 controller? The problem is stick dtift and i have no idea what to do

So it tears down like a Dual Shock 3?? Nice.

Where I can find like your tools

The no flux is crazy 😳😳

My stick gets physically stuck.. (pause) is this a fix for that?😂 for real tho?

I have a novel idea,boycott Sony products until they put out a decent product .

Damn.. next time I will buy duals. edge... freakin drifts...

Ok so I did all of this and my right analog stick instead of drifting to the left now it just goes straight up and doesn’t stop, I can move sideways but not up and down at all it just goes up 😩😭 someone help me please

This required much patience that i dont have...so nah...if i have my ds5 broken,then i just send it for the guy who know how to fix it or i just buy the new one😂

❤❤❤❤❤

This controller is an over-designed pos... to spend that much money for something so small to go wrong is a terrible customer service issue - the Xbox controller has the same issue, but accessing the components can be done in about 3 steps without the need to put the entire controller at risk

Might as well buy a new one paying almost $20 and paying someone to do it 😂

We should never need to fix this. It's Sony that needs to fix it. Few of us aren't tech minded. Need to fork out for at least £35 to get it fix but aren't garrenteed either . I'm n uk

Im just gonna buy a new pad. 😅

My potentiometer is damaged, i cleaned it and it was a pretty good temporary fix. But i think ill order a solder tool and more potentiometers and joysticks. Soldering seems like a usefull skill to have.

Nope, I’m not going to do that, I don’t trust myself to not screw it up. Going to just buy a new controller whenever I get stick drift.

pls buy soldering iron and flux paste😂😂

I sucked my controller after watching this video

😊😍😊😍

It was quicker to buy new one

Peggio di così si muore. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Legit solution, horrible execution. If you do that you will definitely destroy one of the vias. The correct method would be either leave the green part on and just change the moving parts, or use solder wick or a solder sucker to remove the solder, in that way the pcb will not be damaged.

Why don't you just invest in a sucker instead of using a sim card release key. Smh

Good fucking lord the piece is hard to get to… if you don’t have the soldering tool, it is practically cheaper to buy a new controller 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼

Incredible this s**t from sony...50% of dualsense or more with drift...i have 5 dualsense and 4 of them are with this problem

Worst de soldering I ever seen😂

With my friends, 4 controllers, over 1000 hours/years of play, and.....0 drift.

🤬😡ps5

The Japanese game controllers fall apart in a couple of months. xbox controllers last from generation to generation
