do you still have to calibrate for the new series x/s controllers?

I successfully replaced both analog sticks on my xbox controller (not series x/s). I bought the cheaper solder kit with the helping hand stand, and the joystick replacements. I had zero soldering experience going into this, so I practiced with one controller I was willing to sacrifice if it didnt work. Luckily I was able to remove and replace the joysticks without burning the board. Although I didnt calibrate them like in the video, they worked very well suprisingly. If my controller ever gets drift again, I'll just use helder's analog stick drift fix and solder that into the controller.

Hi SOSS, nice video. I have a question: A month ago or so I started having issues with RB not always reacting when pressed, I had to press it more firmly. After some more time it basically stopped working entirely. So I ordered the switches and had a local electronics shop take apart and do the soldering bit since I myself had no experience and their fee wasn't too bad. However, after the job was complete both LB and RB switches no longer work... The shop claims that they had done it correctly, and that they even did measures with what I assume a multimeter and they did indeed see an electrical signal each time they pressed the switches. But plugged into a PC the bumpers register no presses, either in games or the gamepad tester... They claim they tested it both when it was disassembled, and when fully assembled but it just wouldn't show the bumpers being actuaded in any sofware. I myself cannot make them work either at my own PC at home. Everything else works as it should, except one mistake they've made, and that is the sync button can no longer be pressed... 😅 It's stiff as the rest of the plastic around it. Not sure if that matters to the bumpers but I just wanna throw that in there for your information. So what do you think? Are the switches not functioning, or have they messed up somewhere? I'm deeply frustrated by this, god damn Microcock and their desire to save a few pennies and screw over the customer.

my analog replacement potentiometer is yellow with B103 series, does it work with my xbox wired controller ? originally green, like in video. also every time my joystick vibrating, its disconnected, what might the cause ? thanks, apreciate for the guide

1708 by far the best feeling Xbox controller I have an arsenal of parts whenever mine breaks I cannot find a new one in box for the life of me

On second thought I think I’m just gonna buy another controller 😅

I rather sent it off for repair 😅

I just bought a core in hopes it would feel the same and it doesnt. Idk what it is about the sticks or theres a little more delay in the controller... Not even input delay really its more like an acceleration delay... It feels like things register fine but I cant find any setting to help it feel more responsive. I might try playing witth all the controllers I have like this.

You skipped removing the domes which are what I'm stuck at attempting to remove. You literally skipped the only reason I had to watch your video.

The whole battery cable fixing came off so now controller is useless - great

Yeahhhhh I’ll just take it back to gamestop

I just want to let people know that you don't need to replace button. All you need is some screws, knife and some isopropyl spirit. Disassambe controller and then find those bottons, then take a knife and cut off four plastic pimpls that holding metal on front of button. Take all stuf from button, clean button with spirir and that's it! Put a metal part back to button (maybe you need some glue to hold it there) and assemble controller. Do it once per year or two.

Thank youu! My nephew dropped his switch and the joystick wouldn’t click anymore. Perfect fix!

if you don't have soldering skills and tools , don't do it , i f* up three top pro controller trying do it

Great tutorial, I replaced the sticks not sure if I shorted something while soldering but now the controller is not detected when plugging in a USB C cable have both the boards together, gamepad tester is not detecting it at all neither will my PC. The board looks good and everything clicks normally. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated this repair is turning to more of a headache than it should have been.

I'm happier just buying a new third party controller every 6 months for £25 lol

Does the calibration function on Xbox supersede the need for the manual adjustments shown in this video?

I think it's time for a new controller. Lol

thank you so much :D just managed to change it in my right joy-con without any physical harm, totaly worth it (just didn't remove the batery as another comment said, sometimes less is more)

Are all these kits necessary?

So im trying to desolder and was able to take all of them off but i thibk i used too much solder wire and when i pulled the pins out, the potentiometera one by one. Some stated sealed. So i dont have a way to insert the joystick then the potentiometers. Should i heat up everything all at once. Or heat up as I insert bavk in

If you guys ever need your controller fixed he will do this for you! I destroyed my thumb sticks and he upgraded my bumpers they work better than brand new. I highly recommend him and service was fast!

I've removed numerous modules in numerous controllers...I installed some alps in a elite 2 but my right module is clicked in and can't move it in game tester. I've tried 2 sets of joystick modules.. same thing.. any help would be appreciated.. thanks

Hey, do you have any idea why after replacing one of the switches, it would act like its being constantly pressed? My LB did that, then i redid the solder and now its not registering at all. Was it a bad switch?

Is it possible to put an eleite series joystick module in a standard xbox controller or ps5 or 4 controller?

Tragic

I ordered your kit but can not get the damn joystick domes unscrewed. I feel like i will snap them off if i try any harder. Any suggestions? Updade, nevermind: soaking with copious amounts of iso does the trick. You weren't kidding about them using loctite

I see financial viability in repairing controllers

Using a hairdryer to heat up the thumbsticks work pretty well.

Is it possible if someone change my analog and as a side effect my rt button recognize as Lt?

Ultra useful video. The main issue I had was to de-solder the switch. Using the soldering iron made nothing (we were 2, on using the iron the other one pulling the pin .. well trying to!). In the end I cut it out and had to drill. It worked but it was ugly. Changing the joypad on a standard Xbone controller was much easier in comparison.

Hi , is the left and right analogs the same ? Can i use the right analog joysick of a broken controler and use it to put on the left side of other one ?

Does this fix joycon drift?

is this the same for the for an Xbox series s controller

I started Paying attention to the warriors again it was when i saw on nba TV i think it was WHEN THE WARRIORS FANS BOOED unknown Joe Lacob and rick Berry Got Pissed. But i remember them mentioning Jerry west was on staff and mullins and mark jackson were there and thinking , Man They have good ppl around them theyre about to be good. AND THEY WERE right after that

WHOEVER THAT WAS(A PRODUCER I THINK) that chimed in with his UNWARRANTED LEBRON TAKE , Please tell him hes on SPEAKING RESTRICTION for and HOUR... smh

very nice tutorial

Help: I fixed my controller months ago and my rb button wasn’t working, so it took the controller apart and the point, where you solder it too, broke off and I can’t figure how to connect the wire again

I wish you would have talked about what is "upgraded"

Hi i need help at what tempature do i desolder for the xbox series controllers and what tip should i use

I replaced them and they seemed good until the right stick when i slighly move it it kinda moves itself. a different direction. i dont know if it will go away

Managed to fix the left stick by just replacing the potentiometer . Good video 👍👍👍

Tried but all my irons won’t heat the solder enough to pull the pins out

ik i am very late but, are the xbox joysticks compatible with ps5 controllers or do i need to buy different ones?

Preash

This was the best video I’ve seen. Mainly because I also got the kit that had the QR code with it

Can anyone help i just replaced bot my bumper buttons and now the left one thinks its being pressed in whennits not. I have even de soldered snd took it back off and tested it and it still thinks its beimg pressed. T.i.a

Is it possible with series x controller

Typical modern engineering. Why make it easy to get to the parts that most often need servicing, If you can make it as difficult as possible instead? (battery, membrane switches)

Bro my anxiety doing this would be to high lmao
