The adjustment board uses two trimmer potentiometers to make it look like the joystick is centered (basically an offset). It isn't a permanent solution, but it allows you to offset the axes once again if the stick starts to drift. Never knew these boards existed. It's a pretty smart and cheap solution to the problem before hall effect sensor joysticks become cheap and widespread.

What's funny is hall effect sensor technology was used for the analog sticks AND the analog triggers all the way back on the Sega Dreamcast. That means that back then it was somewhat affordable, at least to the point that it was economical to have hall effect sensors in the final product. As far as I know, it hasn't been used since. It's kinda upsetting because clearly that's one of the best ways to prevent wear and tear on the joysticks since there's no physical contact like with potentiometers, and it was at least _somewhat_ affordable.

For soldering, put a little solder on your iron, and touch the metals with that solder. It makes heat transfer better thus making it accept solder more easly. Then add more solder to the solder joints.

A tip for those soldering the board onto the back, 'add' solder droplet onto each spot first to make it nice and chunky, so you cover all the position for it. Then put the board on top after the solder cools and hardens a little, and 'heat up each of the little holes rapidly one by one while using something to push the board down. If you do it correctly the melted solder will 'loosen' and fuse with the board while you are pushing it down... Be sure the solder doesn't leak out in between the board though.

@alexwest1977 Жыл бұрын

True but it might be better to go for one of the many JBC clones that are available now. Cheaper, better performance, and you can use genuine JBC cartridges (tips) with them. Tips last a really long time as they automatically go into standby mode when the handle is put in its holder. They automatically turn back on when you pick up the hand piece and heat up to soldering temperature before you have time to get the tip and solder to the joint, just a couple of seconds. But the honest truth is that for basic soldering like this, just get any other tip for your existing iron that isn't a microscopic needle-shaped conical tip. Go for a chisel or bevel and get a few sizes. Just use the biggest tip you can that will still allow you to get to the pads and pins you want to solder. The parts pads and pins that are to be soldered need to reach a temperature that the solder will melt, so a bigger surface area will transfer the heat more efficiently to the pad/pin and a larger tip has more heat capacity as those old school irons don't get the heat from the heater to the tip very efficiently compared with the newer style ones discussed above. The extra heat capacity of a bigger tip will make up for the lower efficiency of the heater/tip by enough to make the job easier.

I'm sure it works well if you have a dead spot in a particular place. Unfortunately my Elite II sticks in different places depending on which way I let go of the stick. If I hold up and let go it drifts down, if I hold down and let go it drifts up. Not always either. In any case this will only help if it always drifts the same way.

@minute Maid I had the same problem with the bumpers as well. It was actually quite easy to fix, just had to take the front off and pick any fluff/debris where the bumper presses the button. It goes bad again, but it's not too hard to get back in. Could also be a bad button though.

a month ago I repaired a stick drift from my old Xbox 360 controller. I simply replaced the potentiometer entirely, the piece costed me just 0,83 €. so it was much cheaper than this method and I didn't need to mess with a recalibration software. the downside is that I had to de-solder 17 points in order to remove the old potentiometer (14 from the potentiometer and another 3 from a different component that was in the way) so it took a lot more time than just soldering without having to desolder first, but it was a nice experience.

The drifting stick is actually common on PS Vita, and someone actually fix one IIRC, with bunch of paper. Yes, paper. Basically he added few papers to the back of the sticks so there's some pressure on the back. Another solution that I come across is people actually blast these sticks with contact cleaner. Not even open the damn console. The idea was there's dust trapped inside so you need to blow it out. One of the safe way to do it with contact cleaner that comes in a pressured can.
