How to replace joystick sensors (potentiometers) on a PS5 controller and fix drifting

- In this video I'll explain how to disassemble a PS5 controller and replace the joystick sensors (potentiometers), and then recalibrate the controller for full range of motion.
If your controller is suffering from stick drift this will fix the problem and get you back to gaming.

I recently changed both of the joystick modules on two controllers and didn’t know of the calibration website. Thank you!
No problem! Glad it helped
You were clean, clear and concise along with quick on explaining what you were going to do. I don't even have a ps5 but I liked your tutorial. I've subscribed, keep this up! Subs will come!
Thank you so much for the comment! I'm glad it was enjoyable to watch at the very least😄
So, I gotta' admit, this was my first time soldering and I managed to accomplish the task, but only with your guidance! That being said, trying to get the old solder out was a nightmare! I wonder if I didn't have my iron hot enough or is it just that tricky without the electric suction device?
@@Kpadizzlefizzle That's amazing for your first time soldering! You should be proud of yourself🥳
The solder can be tricky to remove, especially on certain holes which are connected to ground as they require more heat.
What temp did you set your iron to and what shape soldering tip were you using?
Great vid helped a ton
@@juanzamora7530 Thanks for watching!
If you're gonna go through all this trouble. I can't believe you wouldn't put a hall effect gimble in. That way you don't have to worry about doing this again on the same controller.
@@agtjackbauer That's something for another video. This video is just to show how to replace the sensor
Where did you buy the potentiometer replacements?
Only after seeing this comment now, so sorry! I get my replacement potentiometers from eBay or AliExpress
can i fix it even if i don't have all that equipment?
Thanks a lot😂
what temp are you using> I always have a hard time ps5 controllers. Xbox no issues.
@@jtorres670 Generally my solder iron is always set to 400c. Some of the pins on the sensors are ground pins which means they can suck up more heat so in that case I would use more heat, or try mixing in some low melt solder might help
@@ryansrepairslk How many watts is your soldering iron?
I believe it's a 75w but can't remember off hand. I can check again tomorrow when I'm back at work
@@ryansrepairslk mine is only 45 watts does that make a difference? I use 900 degrees and still have issues with PS controller. Xbox no Issues.
If you use a large soldering iron tip and leaded it low melt solder you should be fine
the red wire of right haptic motor should be soldered onto the bottom point. 😂 left one is good
don't know if it will work as normal connecting the wires like u show in the video. just let me know
Damn it, cut it cut it cut it cut it 😂 Thankfully it's just a motor so it shouldn't make too much difference. The motor will spin the other way but will still vibrate the same
@@cugbcm Thank you for pointing that out though. It's nice to know if I make a mistake in the video people will help me out. I appreciate it 👍
🎉 No worries. Btw, ur craftsmanship is awesome.
Where did you get those tweezers?
@@chicener8583 I've had them that long know I don't quite remember! I think it was from one of my suppliers here in Ireland but I'm sure you can get the same ones on Amazon or eBay
Does the calibration site work if I replace the joysticks with Hall effect ones?
@@zohaibnajam7698 I haven't used hall effects sensors without a driver board yet but afaik it works fine
For some reason the ginfull stick I replaced is pointing left upwards all the time. Is this due to the pins not soldered correctly?
@@Jestar_076 Yes I believe when no joystick is connected the controller reads the stick in the top left corner so probably something isn't connected correctly
@@ryansrepairslk seems about right, I snipped the other stick potentiometers and gives the same reading. Before I tried resoldering it did move to top left and right. So I'll check my soldering. Thanks!
@@Jestar_076 No problem. Thanks for watching!
is there a calibration website for xbox controllers?
@@pexz Unfortunately not. You can use a windows app for it or the built in calibration feature on the Xbox itself to recalibrate the center points and range.
Question, so I’m able to use a ps4 potentiometer on ps5 controller?
It seemed to work for me yes. But you'll have to calibrate them using the website I linked to in the description
I took mine out of my ps4 controller and into my ps5 one and it fixed it but I didn’t calibrate it as I had no idea you had too
If you're reusing a factor sensor it's possible you won't need to recalibrate it, but it's just something I always do when replacing sensors
Solder wire is 0.2 or 0.5 ?

@@ryansrepairslk Thx
Omg….clean that mat! The hair has my ocd triggered af
