  • How to change the tension of the PS4 controller analog stick, we have tension springs ranging from 10 gram till 200 gram.
    Our springs will only fit original PS4 analog stick modules, so no aftermarket modules due to the fact these can have shorter springs inside.
    Higher tension can be great for aiming in FPS games or racing games.
    Note that replacing these springs is not advised for beginners. Some soldering skills are needed.

    What sping would be recommended for a game like war thunder where you are moving a cursor around? I've got as far as dissassembling and have the oem spring out just cant make my mind up which spring to order. I'm thinking a soft as possible would be best but would 10 grams still snap back to center?

    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.

    @inendlesspain4724 3 роки тому

    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.

    Hey man, I know it's a little off topic but I would appreciate your help, I have a Amazon Xbox one controller which one of it's thumbsticks is staring to feel hard and worn out, thing is that I wanted to replace the stick module with an old 360 controller module but the 360 module is a little bit bigger and it won't fit in the circuit board holes, I've been reading that DS3 analog stick modules are smaller than the 360's so i was wondering if those may fit or if there is some scale or nomenclature I ignore to know the seize or type of analog stick I need for replacement, thanks in advance.

See last night I was trying to slip/wedge something(a spacer) in between the contact that L3 clicks down onto and the adhesive wasn't dry enough and the spacer I had slipped right inside there and I cant get it out.... soooooo now its stuck inside. Idk if I've ruined it. And i am maybe 67% confident in my skill of doing what you just did maybe? Haha I'm a little rusty at soldering is all. If I can take it apart while its still on board thatd help alot

So many matches I click R3 accidentally when someone jumps infront to gunfire and opponent is like 15 feet away and I accidentally click it to melee, so I swapped the button assignment but it doesn’t help since In COD every button is for something so then I slide accidentally or try calling killstreak. I just want to take it out completely. Is it possible? I tried jamming it between the orange piece and black pad but made controller act weird. Like it wouldn’t let me run some matches or work.

    It keep going on and off (and I just bought it 1 week ago too)

      Hey. I dont know if you still have the problem. I saw a video where a guy put the inside of a controller (with sync problems) in the oven (no joke). Maybe this helps :). Look it up
