I super appreciate being shown the whole soldering/de-soldering process! Most videos just cut through it but it's very important and helpful for hobbyists!

dude i cant express how much grateful i am to find this video. always been the type to buy new controller but this time im gonna try to fix it by myself, mine as well learn something new subscribed!

Never had stick drift in my ps2 or ps3 controllers they literally lasted me the lifetime of the consoles

I replaced both of my OG PS5 controller sticks with the Hall Effect ones used on this video following this tutorial. So far, I’m very happy with the results. They have more resistance than the OG ones and the click is a bit louder, but so far they work great.

corporate greed makes me so mad, a $90 cad controllers joysticks are worse than one that came out decades ago, its ridiculous and its planned obsolescence at its finest, this problem should not exist.

Really informative video, super underrated man. Great work, subbed 👍🏼

Excellent explaination. Underrated channel. You need more subs. I will recommend you to all my friends.

Nicely done, concise, informative and useful

thanks, i saved this video on my private playlists and i subscribed

The issue isn't that potentiometers are trash and hall effect are all great and last forever. This is a myth and simply isn't the full truth to the matter! There are of course good and crappy hall effect modules, just like there are crappy potentiometers and good potentiometers as well! The analog sticks on my 8 year old Ps4 controller still work great. (The old battery inside not so much.) The sticks on my brand new Dualsense PS5 controller though are already creating massive stick drift after just 35 days! They both share the exact same technology, even made by the same manufacturer as the old PS4 controller, supposedly even upgraded to the V2 on the new Dualsense controller. Still one of the two is absolutely great, the other one is complete and utter crap! The detailed technical reviews and thorough tests I have seen on Hall effect modules replacing potentiometers so far were all not exactly very promising at all! There were issues with jitter with unacceptable and uneven dead zones. Yes, the hall Effect modules usually do work, but they very often seem to perform rather crappy whenever compared to good quality potentiometer versions! When using Hall effect sensors for example, you will normally want them to be accompanied with suitable electronics filtering and averaging the signals to eliminate jitter. The claim that the Playstation or the PC itself will filter the jitter out is generally NOT true and the test used in the video shows you otherwise! It absolutely will affect some games more than others so it may not necessarily be a big issue for certain games, but the jittery input displayed in the text will be jittery input to the game and will NOT be filtered by the playstation! This jitter does typically NOT happen on potentiometers (unless they bare faulty) and that is exactly why the Playstation (and Windows) do NOT filter or compensate the input values to eliminate this type of jitter. This would need to be done INTERNALLY/ INSIDE the controller with suitable electronics which are obviously NOT part of the Hall effect module that was used here in this video! What the test in the video does show you instead, is simply that the installed Hall effect sensor is absolutely NOT performing nearly as good as a original potentiometer one did when it was in good working order! So if you need to replace a faulty potentiometer, then you may instead want to replace it with a GOOD high quality potentiometer, much rather than replacing it with the comparably poorly performing Hall effect sensor shown and installed here in this video! - Or wait/ look for a hall effect module to be sold on the market that performs considerably better than the poorly performing ones used here in this video!

Bro put the Hall effect on the left stick when there right sticks be getting stick drift HELLA FAST😂

Great video, full of information

amazing video, thanks for leaving the links, I'm new to soldering but I learned a lot

mine are sticky AF... I bought 2, installed them, left stick did not worked properly cuz after pressing L3, the stick never centered back and was whimping all over the place so I put it forward and it remained there like if the spring was not there to center it back to the middle... right stick seemed fine... I purchased 2 more... replaced the left stick AGAIN and now it works fine but day after that the right stick had the exact same issue... so I replaced that with the new one and now it has the same damn thing... I cant press L3 to lock on, every time I move the stick I hear crunching in there (yes it is clean inside) so it feels like its either not lubed up, too much lube so its sticky inside or I dunno... but I dont want to spend another like 15 bucks on sticks to try more and more and more until I finally find all 4 good ones to fix both of my gamepads...

Yes but the cost of controller these days are insane they have no excuse not to use hall effect on controllers now

hi man, have you tested circularity with hall effect joystick?

Amazing video. You are and engineer! Great information.

Cost is higher but when you pay $70 a controller you would think they could at least use better parts… a ps5 or and controller uses the cheapest parts a joystick is like a $1 their circuit boards are cheap I would say for $10 they make a controller..

Do these work on BDM-010 BDM-020 and BDM-030 I heard these all took different potentiometer sticks since the voltages were slightly different.

How do you calibrate this thing?

How would you do this for XBoX controllers? There was no good gap for me to insert paper clip

New to soldering and I am trying to learn more about it, what temperatures do you usually use when it comes to boards like this for the controller or just in general?

can you just replace potentiometers with hall sensosrs only and leave joystick body intact?

Sometimes when I replace sticks the plastic melts to the board from removing the old sticks and sometimes it doesn't. Any idea why this is? It's usually flat enough I just leave it as sticks are slightly elevated installed. Thanks in advance.

The best 👌 thank you

one thing to mention is, that when you replace the analog sticks with Hall effect ones, you will have a small under-or overshoot, meaning if you pull the stick 100% in one direction it could show about 90% in game or 110%if you overshoot, meaning if you want to move your character with Hall effect, he could either go already at maximum speed when you didn't wanted him to or go slower than you wanted.

Why don’t you caver a middle of the board with something to prevent it from heating? The plastic at the middle was melted

Such a 10/10 informative video. Thanks a lot man, this really helped a lot. Great. channel

Have you changed the internal spring yet to change tension on the sticks? I’m always sending my Battle Beaver controllers back to them for drift every three or four months. If I could put these new sticks in there and also change the spring to get the tension I need it would be great.

They wear even faster within 90 days for me barely used, I stopped buying until I find something that last longer.

Bro jus rip the battery out lmao

I nevr had a stick problem...ps1 till ps3 NONE. I wonder what u do with xour pads.

thanks for the vid, my dualsense controllers does not have the drift issue, but they feel like... dusty, or if something don't let the stick move the ''right way'', hope you can give advice. thanks.

I have a question it might be a dumb question but here it goes witch one is faster and has less delay hall effect stiks or the regular one?

Are the Hall Effect potentiometers swappable with the carbon/wiper ones? Or do we have to swap the ENTIRE joy stick?

how is the circularity with these sticks?

Like to see you do this on a dualsense Edge

hello, is it possible to permanently calibrate via PC or Xbox?

Jitter affects cod?

Hi Dear, I loved your videos especially animations, how could you creat animations?

Why didn’t you just use the pump initially? No need for the extra steps with melting the alloy and the heat gun.

This is what Im looking for. Tired of replacing controllers.

Sadly Hall effect sensors do not solve stick drift it solves potentiometer wear, still a good thing just doesn't solve drift for liner curve players. Stick drift is mainly from a stick centring issue as sticks are centred by a spring pushing two plastic parts together and coil spring love to loose their spring tension over time... Don't believe me buy a hall effect controller go into the software and remove the DAEDZONE in the software. Gamersir Nexus for the G7 controller for example even has this as a warning in their software stating Lowering "initial value under 10% will make the stick very sensitive, which is prone to drifting, please use caution". I own 6 controllers 4 with hall effect sensors and they all have drift out of the box after removing the deadzone also they seem to perform poorly in circularity test unless you have software to help fill in the gaps. Sadly social media has hyped them up and put down potentiometer being the main issue defiantly can be if they are worn however you would see voltage drops where it makes less contact resulting in loss of movement like my old Xbox controller. Saying that I really like the Gamesir G7 light weight, 1000hz, rear buttons and it has drift like every other controller.

makes me think this was done bydesign so we need to buy new controller every year , i still use my ps3 controller rom 2 decades ago

nice mod, is there a way to mod the triggers and R1 L1?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="575">9:35</a> You're telling me that his character inching forward right here is not caused by stick drift?

Can the hall sensors be used on Ds4 controllers? I only find them for ps5

saldature da fabbro..

What is the difference with the blue module type? I see both types for ps5 but wich is better?

Thanks for this video Can you tell me how you can centre the analog halleffect

can u test on xbox one ?

If this is done for a pc gamepad will the pc or pc games filter out the jitters?

Hola amigo, compre unos joystick y al instalar el mando deja de funcionar, se necesita algun conponente extra para q funcione?

I want to install these on my ps4 controllers

They make controller more easily to get drift to get money MORE BROKEN CONTROLLER = MORE CONTROLLER TO BUY = MORE MONEY But in the end everyone gonna buy controller with Hall Effect one which is better if they smart enough

I still see stick drift at the very end of the video when you let go of the controller. Bro...

How do you fix stick drift if it still happens with a brand new controller?

What site or program do you use for testing and callibrating the sticks?

yeah i would try it but i dont have any equipment lol

Someone know if a can use this joystick in a PowerA controller for the Xbox X

They should work on ps4 controller? The pots on ps5 n 4 r pretty much same.

You used WAYYYYYYY too much low melt aloy. The blob on one pin could have been used for both joysticks!

😮😮

Switched to Xbox controller ps messed

you mean over more then 30 years ago, not just more then 20 years.

So basically I’m fucked because I have no clue how to do any of this and I have to keep buying a new controller every month or two because of stick drift Thanks Sony. Arseholes

you're not a true gamer off you're not watching this video

Ничего не помогает! И менял пластины и перепаивал стикер, дрифт некуда не ушел! Видать Джой свое отработал... Даже где то читал, что если активно играть, рано или поздно дрифт появится! Так что все эти манипуляции бесполезны! Самое простое купить новый Джой.

Isn't true problem it's the pin.

At the end of the video the Analog drift continues and you move

My ps5 controller flashes orange 3 times.
