Thank you very much man. I just done this today and it’s working perfect again now after sitting idle for 2 months not finding the thumb stick replacements this worked spot on. Thanks again great video 👌🏻
@@almightymoose9541 Yes make a New video update I'll do it because can't buy a stick module since it is unavailable for almost a year crazy SONY they scammed us
I'm not gonna lie ..I thought you were about to do all that technical soldering bullshit, but this is actually extremely clever. I never considered switching out the white potentiometer piece itself for a new one. My mind is kinda blown. This is one of those "FBI delete this" kinda memes. 🤣 bravo good sir. You have absolutely earned a sub today
Now why didn't Sony make this an option for all their gamepads, not just their 200. premium brand. Better yet, just put hall effects in all gamepads as a standard!
Can you upload the full replacement process without any cuts? This doesn't show me how to put the new potentiometer inside where the old one was. I'm just scared I'll mess it up without a step by step guide.
It is that simple, they just pop in and out? From what I understand, the original dualsense uses the exact same components. This means you can buy an original dualsense controller for $70 (less than the cost of a stick replacement at the current going price of $80) that is full of new potentiometers, take it apart and have plenty of replacements. Can you use any potentiometers on any side? This could be genius. You can also salvage your old drifted dualsense controllers of the good potentiometers, not to mention doing rotations since most often only 1 gets worn either in the up or left direction.
Exactly, but you could save more money by just buying the analog stick replacements for $9.99 which would give you a total of 8 potentiometers. Yes very easy you can use them for either side, and salvage good ones from old controllers.
Planning to do the same thing when I eventually get drift on this thing and repeatedly cleaning it no longer works. Do you think it works better with some sort of lubricant? I’ve seen other people say it’s required and some say it isn’t
Ended up having some dog hair in my thumbstick that didn't come out cleaning it with alcohol and air. Appreciate the walkthrough on how to open it up 🦾

Reminder:
They can fix this anytime, but money is more important.

Glade I could help, and you saved a couple bucks 👍

Sony found a way to sell printer ink by selling us controllers with a definitive expiration date

We definitely need Hall effects analogs
*MONNAAYYYY!!!*

Yes I’ll upload a video showing how to
All u need is to spray rubbing alcohol in it, u don't have to purchase and replace anything.

I am willing to try this with playstation stick modules being sold out constantly. Do you have the amazon link?

Walmart has everything all the time they are a little more costly but not too much check it out one day
Wow you almost save me men 😅good video thanks 🙏
Glad I could help
better idea install hall effect joysticks :]

You shouldn’t need any lubricant 👍
I'm glad I found this before buying from Sony
Yea definitely not worth it, hopefully a version 2 will be better
what song is playing in the background?
Just a beat I made in garage band
How’s it working since you changed the potentiometer?
Runs great I’ll make an update video soon 👍
@@almightymoose9541how much did you have to calibrate after wards
Thanks man you saved me 49$
And how is the control going after the change, has it drifted again?
It’s still running like new 👍
couldn’t you maybe be mod it to take hall effect modules instead then it would really help stick drift
The Hall effect modules aren’t compatible with the edge for some reason
nice
Thanks

Couldn’t u just by a whole new stick for a 20?
not available on the official site and resale is $50, this method allows me to fix the controller 8 times for under $9.99.
@@almightymoose9541 thanks for the information and nice video btw 💪🏽
