Thank you and sorry to hear about the SCUF. They have alot to answer for. Unfortunately we cannout offer repairs outside the UK due to the cost of shipping and coustoms charges we will both be hit with. Maybe you can get in contact with @computerbooter1566
Is there an upgrade to the analog sticks? Like instead of the standard junk that seem to be in all the Scufs, swap it with a magnetic system or some such? Also do you have a link to what tools you're using? Would love to get my hands on some of that equipment, specifically the soldering tool.
would would happen to know what the problem is if when i push my left stick forward it sticks and slowly goes back to the middle. Not the actual stick but the input of it.
@Uber Micro Repairs I keep seeing this as a response but the issue continues to get worse and I keep pushing it down without much success. Not sure what's wrong 😕 🤔
Just curious should the instant triggers take "extra" effort to push? I recently got this controller and the right trigger worked fine with the default pull but became sticky and slightly difficult to press when the instant trigger was activated. If it has standard mouse click technology I don't think this should be the case and worry I got a dysfunctional controller.
The digital tap trigger should have a ver similar click to a mouse. You should be able to hold some tension on the trigger befer it clicks and fires. If it feels stiffer then there maybe an issue.
Such a great Video. I just bought the Instinct Pro and the LT Is sticking when I activate the instant locks. It doesnt move, it just clicks. The RT moves a bit more and you can feel that it has room. What could be the cause for the LT? I disassemblied many Controllers but Im scared to do this one because its still in warranty. I tried applying more pressure or pulling the trigger back but it all doesnt help! The LT just sticks and is harder to press. This disbalance in pressure point is unpleasing while gaming :/
I am trying to do this exact same job on my controller. You fast forwarded the most important part. It looks like you just heated the back of the analogue stick module and somehow, popped out every pin hole with some tool I don't know about. I've been trying to do it using a soldering iron and de-solder wick. Now my controller is fucked up :(
Yep. There is a inherrant design floor in the stick module also the pots wear out quickly. We use totally different modules and pots. Less mechanical slop and the pots last longer.
You wouldn't happen to know if there Hall Effect replacement joysticks available that would fit the SCUF Instinct Pro would you? I was looking to replace mine.
The current ones will not work for Xbox or PS5.. However I'm in the process of finding ones that will work. Any info will be on the community page with a followup video soon.
@@UberMicroRepairs Hi, i believe there is a controller now that works with Xbox. its in the game sir g7. if you researched this, how much would it cost to have mine replaced in the instinct pro. Thanks Lee
Great video! I work my controllers pretty hard and am working on doing my own repairs. Would you mind letting me know what kind of soldering kit you’re using?
It's nice to see inside one of the new scuff, nothing special with standard sticks.did liken the trigger lock tho. I have a question if you don't mind. I have a 1708 charger port was torn off and some traces damaged. There are also some components missing d15 d16 d17. I have looked inside a couple I have and one looks like a diode and the other a resistor. Can you confirm either and maybe point me in the right direction to getting some please.
Hey mate. Great video. I just got a scuf instinct pro and I'm experiencing some heavy analog aim stick drifting. I noticed @ 15:30 when you're using the Gamepad tester you said you're looking to make sure the sticks are centered and going back to normal. At what axis is it considered to be "normal." Could you explain a little more on that?
I always try to get the up / down on both sticks within 3% so very close to centre. Due to the design of ALPS you will NEVER get totally dead zero centered all the time.
What is your method for adjusting the potentiometers to get the sticks back to zero? I have an elite 2 and scuf instinct to repair, and while the elite doesn't need adjustments, I assume the instinct will.
Watch soss gaming I just replaced my sticks on the elite controller and series s controller he will show you how to make adjustments to the potentiometers
Great video! Unfortunately I got the mod flex cable torn by accident. Any idea how to repair it or do you know where to get the corresponding replacement part? BR🤟🏻
Hey man I bought a scuffl reflex Pro for ps5 about 4 months ago. I play only warzone. Anyway 4 months in my left stick now won't stay center, its forcing input to push left for some reason? I have taken stick off and used compressed Air on the inside of stick and still giving me this pushing to the left movement. I look at the stick input on USB contorllers on Windows its showing the stick just pushing in left even when you're going up down and to the right it wants to try go left lol. Paid 230 for this cornroller and 4 months in this happens already that is really bad. My default ps5 contorller last 6 months!
Sounds like you play a lot and months of wear and tear and moving like a crackhead in warzone is gonna lead to stick drift. Pay the $60-90 fee they invoice you and keep it pushin, Pushin P ❤️
I made the tool. The screw is a special one used by CATTV engineers and the proper bit is under licence and costs ALOT of money. I had to get creative to repair these controllers correctly.
if you play any type of shooter where a slide button or any button is remamped to a stick where you press down it makes it more likely so don’t do that.
Unfortunaley stick drift is something that will happen to every controller after use. The potentiomiters are based on 100+ year old technology, basicaly a copper finger moving across a carbon crack. The carbon crack wears out and sends erroneous readings or in extreme cases no readings at all. Even if the potentiomiter where replaced by hall effect sensors (magnetic) this would give longevity but the stick mechanisum will eventually wear out giving slop. It's a rock and a hard place. All controllers are considdered " a consumible item". Unfortunate but true!
Hey so I have an instinct pro and my left stick is getting physically stuck so if I go up the stick won't go back to zero it stays up and if I go down it stays down any thoughts?
