    Sony knows this is a common point of failure. They could make it easier for the end user to repair by just using a ribbon cable connection like they do for the other components. They could use a screw mount to fix the joysticks to the body of the controller.
    Also, I would not use a heat gun if you're not familiar as the joystick's plastic melts easily. Just keep hitting the pads with the soilder wick and make sure you coat the wick with Flux to make it draw the soilder easily.

  • @assowdg6980
    @assowdg6980 Рік тому

    btw hot air is optional it will make it easy to remove the joystick but just putting the solder iron the the solder joints and wiggling them slightly would also remove them

  • @rykerhasyounow
    @rykerhasyounow 2 роки тому

    What a huge pita this was. Haha. I found snipping the tabs off after using the solder pump was helpful for my wick to lap up the remainder. Also, if you get a sticky one, apply a small dome of fresh solder and wick it again. The new stuff will help suck the old stuff into the wick.

      @EternalBeast97 5 років тому +1

      Ebay ones actually work. I just installed one with 100 gram sprint as well. I emailed him and he said it’s normal for it to get stuck around the corners as there’s more travel distance but once installed in the motherboard and in the controller completely the travel distance decreases so the analog stick can’t go all the way to the sides so it won’t get stuck.
      Mine got stuck until I installed it completely and it works good.

    • @omnilightstudios7958
      @omnilightstudios7958 4 роки тому

      when the module is not seated in a controller the stick will lock in place when pushed to the edges , and this is accentuated by the higher tension everything is fine. once in a controller the edges of the controller house will stop the stick before it goes far enough to stick .

  • @elgin78

    • @getit7107
      @getit7107 3 роки тому

      The drift can be by the positioning of the green potentiometer on the side. You can try tilting the potentiometer maybe 1-2mm at most to find the magic spot. If you have a multimeter you can check the ohm readings of a good centered stick and align the potentiometer before installation.

I'm thinking a soft as possible would be best but would 10 grams still snap back to center?

    The original sticks on Elite Series 2 fucked me up,
    so i think this is the best solution while the original sticks have deadzone and / or wobble.
    Just solder new joysticks from default One controller and change the tension consistent by replace the spring inside.
    For ego shooter use a light tension on the left joystick and a hard tension for the right joystick.

    I have an X360 controller that isn't exactly broken, it's just that the left analog stick has become quite a bit loose and doesn't quite snap back to center, instead sometimes it leans slightly to the left, which most of the time isn't enough to cause mayor problems but it's still annoying. I'm not sure if fixing that is worth going through all this, especially since it works perfectly otherwise.

      It says on the website 75g is standard.
      I just placed an order for 7 springs all in the 10g-30g range. Tendonitis sucks.
      For the last 20 years I've just ripped the spring entirely out of the left analog stick (You can cut it out from the top), but now with a full soldering kit on the way for the first time I might actually create a smooth functioning low-but-not-zero resistance analog stick. I'm going to get two Custom Xbox controllers for playing Forza Horizon 5 and equip one of them with a 10g spring and the other with a 20g spring (and 30g should be fine on the right stick, for whatever reason my right thumb never hurts).
      If it works well I'll build custom controllers for all my nephews and nieces to make sure they never have to live with the pain that I do.

      What I used to do is cut away enough of the spring housing to be able to use a dental pick to hook and pull on the end of the spring and eventually yank the whole thing out, my intention was usually just to "trim" the spring but most of the time I cut it too short and decided that "no spring is better than a really mushy analog stick" and pull the whole thing out.
      I would basically destroy a dental pick and pair of extra fine needlenose pliers every time, and it's not uncommon to have bleeding fingers by the end from all the sharp metal.
      Worth it, but kind of rough.
      Lately what I've been doing is get a cheap pack of 1mm head diamond burrs, and if you understand where the spring is inside your analog stick mechanism what you want to do is just plunge the grinding burr through the housing that holds the spring and just cut the top of the spring. Just cutting the top ring of the spring will usually reduce tension by a lot, and if you want tension reduced even more just keep cutting rings further down. You will probably end up wrecking the first controller though, it's very difficulty to judge whether cutting one more ring will leave you with just pleasant light tension or a mushy non-centering stick.
      Remember that the rubber stick pads have a lot of weight relative to the analog mechanism and even what feels fairly springy on the stub might feel mushy with the stick on top, so you need to test centering with the stick on top every time you make an adjustment to the spring.
      The problem with this method though vs. my old methods is that if you want zero spring tension then leaving the spring inside the housing can make the action feel a bit gritty, pulling the spring out entirely is the best way to have a smooth zero tension analog stick, it's just excessively frustrating getting the spring out.
