The different "feel" you are getting is these G-unit hall effects have a different interior spring tension design compared to alps or favor union potentiometers spring tension design. Even the newer k-silver Hall effects(blue) have a spring tension design similar to alps giving a higher resistance. Id recommend tearing all 4 units down for yourself its and interesting rundown of similar ideas producing different results. These G-units housing modules are my favorite due to the lighter tension and smoother movements add the K silver hall sensors, no noise, smooth feel, HALL EFFECT GOLD❤❤❤
I did put some of my force testing in the video. The force to move the Hall sensor joystick and the Favor Union are about the same. I think the Hall sensor joystick force to move is a bit more even over it’s entire range of movement. I want to say it feels smoother, but I’m not sure that’s the best way to describe it. But I do find myself reaching for the controller I put the Hall sensor in first. I guess that does say something about it.
Thank you for the video. You give more of an in depth explanation of things. One thing to take into account is if you do it with the xbox controllers. The triggers are hall effect sensors as well. So try and get the left trigger deadzone as dialed in as possible. Since when you push down on the left trigger. The magnet affects the analog stick sensor. Only only on the left stick though.

How is fast movements readouts? It was an issue with earlier V3 Dualsense batches where it has wrong movement while spinning the stick fast in circles but they said it was fixed
@@metalplasticelectronics354 no you got me wrong I meant the orange hall effect sticks themselves they had 3 releases the last one called V3 which claimed to be jitterless it was the only module that can get wrong fast circular movements readouts Look at the gamepad tester at 5:42 when you started moving it in fast circular movements you can see how inaccurate it was
there is another type of joystick - TMR Electromagnetic Joysticks. not sure if its actually hall effects, however they do sell some hall effects ones. bought some to replace my PS5 joysticks. oh, they are from Gullikits
Hi, could you guys help me please? I've installed the hall effect modules into my controller by myself and one of them is stuck in left upper corner in the gamepad tester, I'm not sure why. Have I damaged something? Thanks
Double check and make sure don’t have any solder shorting out anything. If you have a volt meter check and see what the voltage is on the center terminal of the hall sensor. It’s probably going to be 0 volts if I remember upper left correctly. So something may be shorting out the 1.8 volts to the joystick module.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 I checked it and cleaned up again and still the same. I unsolded hall effect joystick and solded new ALPS joystick to see if something changed and nothing happens. No idea why this problem is happening 😪 I've already tried everything
When I put alps joysticks on a ps4 controller the first set I put on I moved the analog stick before it cooled down and I think it being heated up and moved caused the plastic to cool in a slightly different position than the factory position. I put another 2 new analog sticks on and didn’t hold the soldering gun to the pins as long and also let it cool down before touching the analog stick. Then I rotated the old one I messed up, and the new one, and the old one was way stiffer like I fused plastic parts together by applying heat for too long. The new ones have no stick drift but the circulatory was 20 percent rather than less than 10 percent like my new controllers. So to conclude I believe it was my installation error by applying too much heat for too long on the first ones. Then the circulatory issue of 20 percent was the same for both so I think I just bought cheap analog sticks is the problem with that.
The difference that you mentioned is that Halifax sticks typically have a little bit more tension than the standard sticks. That’s the feeling that you were likely feeling was tension or pullback which if you play a lot of FPS games that’s kind of crucial it changes the game you can take one step further by getting a dual sense edge controller I know I probably already lost the people right at that Edge take the joystick modules out and inside even though it’s a removable joystick module they still use the exact same joystick as a regular PS five control so basically what you paying for is to be able to remove certain ones well you can take one step further by upgradingjoystick module inside edge controller. Now you have an upgraded controller that will never get drift and even if it does just adjust and you have paddles, you can use.
Look very carefully over the PC board and make sure a solder splash hasn't shorted something out. It kind of sounds like the power supply is shutting down. Maybe too much current is being pulled. I don't know about the blinking. What color LED blinks?
I don’t know for sure. There was a comment that these are a later version of the hall sensor and they filter out the jitter but I’m not sure. Guess I should see if can figure out a test setup to see what kind of response they do have. They do have a different feel than the regular joystick. And I want to say they just feel a little smoother, but not in a mechanical sort of way, if that makes any sense.
Great video! I have 7 dual sense controllers all with stick drift. Im going to try this but I know nothing about soldering. Can you please give a list of all the tools and materials you used in the video? Thanks in advance!
You will need a temperature controlled soldering iron, doesn’t have to be an expensive one. But get one that is at least 60 watts. I use the Hakko FX-951 but it’s expensive. Any good tin/lead electrical solder will work. I’ve always like the Kester #44 63/37. Get some solder wick. Take a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/zxc6VIb8Ox0/v-deo.html. Most of the time I use a vacuum desoldering gun to remove the joysticks. I don’t know how well the cheap ones on Amazon work. But take a look at this video for removing the joystick without a vacuum desoldering gun ua-cam.com/video/slxgHcYHnm8/v-deo.html. The PC board holder comes from Amazon. Just search for PC board holder, it’s sold under a few different brands, should be less than 20 dollars.
Fresh solder in the holes and maybe a bit of extra flux. You can even put some extra flux on the solder wick; that sometimes helps. As a last resort, you can use a stainless steel sewing needle. Make sure the needle is not gold-plated; solder will stick to gold-plated needles. Heat the pad very well, and then push the solder out of it with the needle. But you might want to take a look at this before you try the needle: ua-cam.com/video/slxgHcYHnm8/v-deo.htmlsi=yVOJ88DuWAiCK4k8 Good luck.
The Ginfull felt great on my PS4 Controller, so I put a set into my PS5 controller last week. Frustratingly both sticks broke within the first two hours of use. So I replaced the with another set I had in spare. I fear I was unlucky with the quality.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 out of blue sky the character started to stubbornly walk forward. So I replaced the left stick. Went back to the game and after an hour the character started spinning. Somehow the sensors were either jumping to shortcut or open. When I looked inside, thanks to your videos, I found that they are both Ginfull sticks with squared magnets .one with 93l35 marking and the other without marking.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 Just happened again. The second set I got from Aliexpress broke. After roughly 4 hours of use the right stick pulls up 100%. Either I am extremely unfortunate or the Ginfulls are garbage quality wise.
I started getting some stick drift in my dualsense, but would it be worth paying a technician to change it to these hall effect or should I just keep on my regular dualsense sticks and keep repairing it? I heard that these magnetic (hall effect) are drift-proof right?
Take a look at these: ua-cam.com/video/cSOKN1wB31k/v-deo.htmlsi=m8lcp3kWxj6Am11_If you are going to replace the joystick the GuliKit cost a bit more but seem to be quite good.
There are holes in the housing to insert a stop pin to push against. But if it's for PS5 controllers you don't need to do that as it can be adjusted from the electric side instead of mechanical.
I haven't had any problems with the Hall or TMR joysticks. Some of the Hall Effect sticks are no longer installed, but the Ginfull V5 is and is still working fine.
What would cause the up/down motion on the stick not work? I got the new joystick in and when I tested it, I can move it left and right, but there’s no up down motion registering on the program. Thank you!
NVM! Turns out I am terrible at soldering! (No surprise, first time). Anyways, i got the new stick in, used that new calibration website from your other video and everything works great! Thanks for all the help!!
I’m hoping a set of these will be available for the elite 2 controller as it is different from these other joysticks or ones to become available that only replace the sensor part of the joystick
I'm having a problem with these modules where some of them will only register left/right movement on the left side in gamepad tester, even though the signal wire voltage hits the full range of 0v to 1.8v. When it's at dead center, the signal voltage is .9v, but the position in gamepad tester is about halfway across the left side of the test ring. Any idea what could cause that?
@@metalplasticelectronics354 its not a centering problem, the range is restricted to the left half of the circle only, and won't even touch anything past the center line regardless of magnet position. It's bizarre. Im wondering if its a manufacturing defect of some kind, or if it's possible for a crossed wire to cause it.
Oh, that is strange. If the center tap goes from 0 to 1.8 volts, then I think the hall sensor is okay. Have you tried resetting the controller? If I remember correctly, 0 volts should be all the way left, and 1.8 volts should be all the way right. Double check the center pin of the hall sensor and make sure it is soldered well. A high-resistance joint might cause it.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 resetting the controller seems to have helped. Only issue left was that moving one stick up or down made the other one move left to right in the test app, but as far as i can tell, that doesn't translate to a problem in game.
I don't play many games. But the new TMR joystick should be about the same. Probably will have a little better circularity so you might have to move the joystick a bit more in the corners.
Interesting. I had some drift on my right pad so i dismounted,took those 2 plates out ,cleaned them and put back. I even add some inox with PTFE mx6 premium on the rings. It worked well then suddenly again stick drift happens. I gess mistake was i have to calibrate and maybe mistake was i used regular Q tips not with the foam,maybe some fabrics left there causing stick drift again?gess i will have to tear a part all again and try 1 more time. I will order this aswell and try,since all this i am doing for the first time..nothing to lose.. I will use TS-100 Soldering kit.
So which of these are the latest ones. Cuz I see on AliExpress they have orange ones with red PCB and black writing and orange ones with red PCB and white writing. Which ones are better?
Still haven't had time to test the new kits from Amazon but both kits have the orange sensors and have red PC board with black writing. So I'm pretty sure the black writing is a later revision.
Wow, what a coincidence. I also replaced the Hall sensor I ordered from AliExpress 3 days ago. As you mentioned, calibration was a bit tricky, but it is working satisfactorily. We'll have to wait and see. While watching the video, I was curious. What temperature do you set the vacuum desoldering machine to when replacing an analog module?
I have my hakko Fr-301 set to 250 degrees Celsius. I would recommend a lower temp if working on Xbox one s controllers. The joystick pads are much less heat resistant than Sony or later generation Xbox controller boards in my experience.

@@metalplasticelectronics354 oh alright but what about the aim boost kit things for controller I heard about, do they help to prevent the drift from moving around?
hello I have a question I connect my dualsense to my pc to test it on gamepad tester, it detects the controller but it does not display the sticks to see if there is a drift problem how do you do that?
You might try a different browser. If your using Windows there might be an updated driver that needs to be installed. I’m using linux so not sure about the Windows driver.
Hey, just curious for your input. I recently replaced my drifting dualsense potentiometer joystick with a hall effect joy stick, identical to the one in this video. After calibrating it to be as close to center as possible, it works fine however it introduced a new problem of snapback, that is when running forward and letting go, the joystick registers movement in the backwards direction upon the joysticks return to center. Any suggestions on how to fix this while not significantly hurting the ability for the joystick to return to center?
Not really. It almost sounds like there is a mechanical problem with the joystick. I think I would try and use it as much as possible and see if it gets any better with use. Maybe the plastic centering parts will get a bit smoother.
If that's the one with the special threaded shaft, then sorry, I don't know. KasynParts.com does have the Hall Effect joystick for the regular Xboxone controller.
Yea the entire module i dont wanna keep the old housing or such, if its same size i will go full conversion. if it works im down to spend some money for it@@metalplasticelectronics354
Yeah i'd fully convert them to it, i aint leaving anything from the old ones behind. ifthat works then yeah, i'd spend the money @@metalplasticelectronics354
If they mechanically fit, the next thing would be to find out what voltage the oculus uses for the potentiometers. The DualSense supplies 1.8 volts to the joysticks. The DualShock is 3.3 volts, if I remember right. I'm not sure what the XBox controller uses. But Kasynparts has four versions, and it wouldn't surprise me if the only difference is the voltage they operate at.
Okay- i'll have a looksie what the voltage is and the size if i find, if all id gonna im gonna try it. Thanks for the info!@@metalplasticelectronics354

I'm so, so glad the algorithm pixies decided to recommends your video. I just had both of my Dual Senses joystick replace by the orange colored Hall Effect, and the R side is slightly off centered. Not enough to register on most of the game but for some, like the FF16 the camera is constantly on the move.

P/S: What software that you use to do the diagnosis? *Should have read the description first 😅
i got the exact same ones... i soldered them on... and basically its not working... when i put the originals back on it works fine. do you need the drivers that go on the back like i keep seeing everywhere?
No shouldn't need anything extra. is the stick position reading all the way up and left, center, or down and right? The number on the Hall sensor I used is 93L35. What is the number on yours? I wonder if they sent you the wrong ones.
Hi there! I installed the hall effect on both of my controllers, just like u showed us it ran smooth and perfectly! Today however, the left stick seemed to be stuck, it got "stuck" on left all the way. Faulty hall effect I thought, so I replaced it but still maximum left input signal, adjusting didn't work, resetting the controller does not work either... That happened on both controllers. Any idea why? Cheers!
Just to the left or upper left? I think upper left is 0 volts output from both pots, but I'm not positive. The fact that two controllers did it is very strange. I've only install the one hall joystick, but it's still working fine. If it's just to the left and up and down work fine, then it's either 0 volts or 1.8 volts on the center tap of the bottom hall sensor. Would need a volt meter to check and see.
Exactly the same thing happened to me on 2 controls with the right joystick, it seems that the board was decalibrated, did you fix it by returning to the classic joystick?
Anyone have a good experience in fixing controller . Im about to do it for first time with this cheap kit . Is there anything better? For ps5 controller or what's the top quality brand for these hall effect one's
So I have come across some new elite two specific Hall effect modules On eBay and Ali express that are blue and was curious if you’ve heard or seen anything about these? I’ve spent hours doing research and there is nothing online about these new modules.

Are they regular joystick modules or hall effect sensor joystick modules? The PS5 hall sensor ones are made to run off of 1.8 volts, I don’t know about the others.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 ok, muchas gracias por tu tiempo. Muy agradecido ☺️ PD. Mañana desmontare el joystick, espero que vuelva a funcionar el mando 🙏
I think i mess it up on the calibration inverting the axis, and now it doesn't click anymore. Did you get that issue, or even better, do you know how to correct it, or do I have to replace it for a new one?
It's probably not messed up; it might just be loose. It all just presses together. See at about the 1:20 mark in the video. You might unclip the sensor part and try to push the center bushing back into the magnet piece.
I just got back into fixing/modding controllers and want to install some hall effects. The independent firmware to calibrate sticks, would that work to calibrate the hall effect sticks? I believe I saw your video on this exact topic but can't find it so figured to ask. Thx.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 Thank you! I am a big fan of the channel. I am still learning a lot but your clear explanations and visual demos are excellent.
The circularity is more than full. These Hall sensors seem to max out before the thumb knob hits the case stop. I think that might be part of the different feel they have.
@@NeoDrenI think you have to buy a third party calibration board for the Dualsense. There is a software tool for calibrating the DualShock 4 but not the dualsense unfortunately.
Could possibly unclip the hall sensor part from the joystick frame and bend it away a bit. Putting a bit more distance between the sensor and the magnet. Centering might be a bit more challenging. But it’s really not bad the way it is.
Hello, good video, I would like to know if the magnetic potentiometer could be installed on the base joystick by removing the magnet it has and putting it on the base plastic of the base joystick axes. You would do me a big favor by telling me because I don't have a heat gun. It would be much easier to put
I ordered some for my xsx, anyone know if you need the pcbs people keep using for jitter and circularity? Also does the magnet in a trigger effect the sticks enough to register input?
i wish they'd just go on and switch to hall effect, but then they'd lose all that money from people buying new ones which i'm sure is the biggest reason why they won't. candy con seems like a pretty good substitute if you want a good hall effect controller. just sucks it's modeled after the xbox layout. i'm partial to the dual sense design so i'm gonna order some of the newer blue ones that require a board here in a few weeks when they're back in stock. i don't have any drift issues, but i've had a lot of problems with the sticks just feeling wonky on 4 dual sense controllers and even one that just felt like it was groaning when i moved it. this gen of controllers has been horrible for sticks not working correctly. never had to replace a psx/2/3/4 controller, but i'm on my 4th or 5th of the dual sense.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 damn I'm not competent enough to do this you'd think with all the tech wizards who could jailbreak a ps3 or sell custom controllers with backpaddles there'd be a market for installing a mod for controllers with technology that was invented in the 90s so we don't get stick drift Better yet you'd think the big companies like Sony and Microsoft would just switch from analog to hall effect and stop being cheap and greedy capitalism wins again ig
The one I’m using is a very old Hakko 470 desoldering station. It’s been discontinued for years. There are some knock offs on Amazon. Will see them listed as a vacuum desoldering station or desoldering gun. I don’t know how well the ones on Amazon work but it’s just a vacuum pump and a heater with a hollow tube in the center for the solder to get sucked through.
Kasynparts lists models for PS4, PS5, Switch-Pro, and Xbox One. I think it would depend on what voltage the series X/S controllers run at. The DualSense runs at 1.8 volts. The DualShock runs at 3.3 volts. I don't know about the others.
It was my first time soldering /desoldering something and wanted to give it a go. Took me 3 hours to do it but in the end I succeeded (mostly due to lack of a desoldering pump). I actually used replacement joysticks with potentiometers(blue ones). Overall very rewarding experience to fix something that is broken.
Great video, I replaced my sticks on an old xbox elite controller but the gamepad tester is showing the sticks continuosuly moving down and to the right of center. Do you know what would be causing this? (I'm thinking a poor solder job as i'm quite new to it)
I've never worked on an Xbox controller. So I don't know what the voltage would be. If it is all the way down and to the right, I would suspect a bad ground or voltage supply to the joystick potentiometers. If it’s just a little bit off, is there a way to calibrate the Xbox controller? The replacement joystick will almost certainly have a different center value.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 Thanks for ther reply. they are clearly slightly off center which can be adjusted but i think it is a bad ground as you say as it is showing up as if someone is pulling hard down and to the right continuously
People who throw away their PlayStation 5 controllers because of stick drift are hilarious. Buy a 5 or $8 pack of joysticks and your controller will almost never break
The difference is calibration. The last 10% of the travel isn't measured. I don't mind that as I hated 100% being hard to the edge of the stick do I can take it lightly to the edge of the movement and still have 100%. The bigger issue is inconsistency sensor to sensor..
It depends on whether the definition of popping is desoldering the old joystick module and soldering in the new one. It's a bit of work. But the magnetic joysticks are getting better and better.
You're the second person that has said that. I looked at one of his videos after the first person said I sound like him, I don't hear it. I don't think I sound anything like him.

Double check and make sure don’t have any solder shorting out anything. If you have a volt meter check and see what the voltage is on the center terminal of the hall sensor. It’s probably going to be 0 volts if I remember upper left correctly. So something may be shorting out the 1.8 volts to the joystick module.
Ok, I'll check it. Thanks!@@metalplasticelectronics354

Would need a meter to check and see if getting voltage to the joystick. That is the only think I can think of to try.
When I put alps joysticks on a ps4 controller the first set I put on I moved the analog stick before it cooled down and I think it being heated up and moved caused the plastic to cool in a slightly different position than the factory position. I put another 2 new analog sticks on and didn’t hold the soldering gun to the pins as long and also let it cool down before touching the analog stick. Then I rotated the old one I messed up, and the new one, and the old one was way stiffer like I fused plastic parts together by applying heat for too long. The new ones have no stick drift but the circulatory was 20 percent rather than less than 10 percent like my new controllers. So to conclude I believe it was my installation error by applying too much heat for too long on the first ones. Then the circulatory issue of 20 percent was the same for both so I think I just bought cheap analog sticks is the problem with that.
The difference that you mentioned is that Halifax sticks typically have a little bit more tension than the standard sticks. That’s the feeling that you were likely feeling was tension or pullback which if you play a lot of FPS games that’s kind of crucial it changes the game you can take one step further by getting a dual sense edge controller I know I probably already lost the people right at that Edge take the joystick modules out and inside even though it’s a removable joystick module they still use the exact same joystick as a regular PS five control so basically what you paying for is to be able to remove certain ones well you can take one step further by upgradingjoystick module inside edge controller. Now you have an upgraded controller that will never get drift and even if it does just adjust and you have paddles, you can use.
thanks for the video, I changed the stick, now the dual sense blinks three times with the diode and does not work, tell me what to watch
You might take a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/cWUnZ7KjUIQ/v-deo.html . You will need a multimeter.
thanks for the next video checked the voltage on both sticks on each 1.8 volts when I connect the battery it appears for 3 seconds then it disappears
I can't understand what it means when the diode blinks three times, it happens when you connect a type C ,battery or put it in a docking station
Look very carefully over the PC board and make sure a solder splash hasn't shorted something out. It kind of sounds like the power supply is shutting down. Maybe too much current is being pulled. I don't know about the blinking. What color LED blinks?
flashes orange three times
I don’t get how to get rid of the old ones
If you want to remove the old joysticks see this video: ua-cam.com/video/slxgHcYHnm8/v-deo.htmlsi=LxPB1URS1HmMJJEc
Best video, Well done,Thanks
Thanks
how does your sticks have no jitter but you do not have the add on board installed? i thought the add on board was needed for all hall effects sticks.
I don’t know for sure. There was a comment that these are a later version of the hall sensor and they filter out the jitter but I’m not sure. Guess I should see if can figure out a test setup to see what kind of response they do have. They do have a different feel than the regular joystick. And I want to say they just feel a little smoother, but not in a mechanical sort of way, if that makes any sense.
Great video! I have 7 dual sense controllers all with stick drift. Im going to try this but I know nothing about soldering. Can you please give a list of all the tools and materials you used in the video? Thanks in advance!
You will need a temperature controlled soldering iron, doesn’t have to be an expensive one. But get one that is at least 60 watts. I use the Hakko FX-951 but it’s expensive. Any good tin/lead electrical solder will work. I’ve always like the Kester #44 63/37. Get some solder wick. Take a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/zxc6VIb8Ox0/v-deo.html. Most of the time I use a vacuum desoldering gun to remove the joysticks. I don’t know how well the cheap ones on Amazon work. But take a look at this video for removing the joystick without a vacuum desoldering gun ua-cam.com/video/slxgHcYHnm8/v-deo.html. The PC board holder comes from Amazon. Just search for PC board holder, it’s sold under a few different brands, should be less than 20 dollars.
Thank you!!
Ok, I got everything on the list and watched the videos. I cant seem to get the holes cleared with the wick. Any tips? Thank you!
Fresh solder in the holes and maybe a bit of extra flux. You can even put some extra flux on the solder wick; that sometimes helps. As a last resort, you can use a stainless steel sewing needle. Make sure the needle is not gold-plated; solder will stick to gold-plated needles. Heat the pad very well, and then push the solder out of it with the needle. But you might want to take a look at this before you try the needle: ua-cam.com/video/slxgHcYHnm8/v-deo.htmlsi=yVOJ88DuWAiCK4k8 Good luck.
Thanks again!
The Ginfull felt great on my PS4 Controller, so I put a set into my PS5 controller last week. Frustratingly both sticks broke within the first two hours of use. So I replaced the with another set I had in spare. I fear I was unlucky with the quality.
When you say break, what went wrong?
@@metalplasticelectronics354 out of blue sky the character started to stubbornly walk forward. So I replaced the left stick. Went back to the game and after an hour the character started spinning. Somehow the sensors were either jumping to shortcut or open. When I looked inside, thanks to your videos, I found that they are both Ginfull sticks with squared magnets .one with 93l35 marking and the other without marking.
@@yannickb.4524 Thanks
@@metalplasticelectronics354 Just happened again. The second set I got from Aliexpress broke. After roughly 4 hours of use the right stick pulls up 100%. Either I am extremely unfortunate or the Ginfulls are garbage quality wise.
I replaced them every thing works but pushing down the l3 doesn’t work
Check the solder connections and the traces around the 4 switch leads. They seem to be some of the easiest to damage solder pads.
MY FELLOW NERDS! Rejoice in the glory of this video!
I started getting some stick drift in my dualsense, but would it be worth paying a technician to change it to these hall effect or should I just keep on my regular dualsense sticks and keep repairing it? I heard that these magnetic (hall effect) are drift-proof right?
Take a look at these: ua-cam.com/video/cSOKN1wB31k/v-deo.htmlsi=m8lcp3kWxj6Am11_If you are going to replace the joystick the GuliKit cost a bit more but seem to be quite good.
How do you adjust the potentiometers after you mounted on the board?
There are holes in the housing to insert a stop pin to push against.
But if it's for PS5 controllers you don't need to do that as it can be adjusted from the electric side instead of mechanical.
eleven months have passed, have you had a chance to confirm if any deterioration has occurred? Gracias!
I haven't had any problems with the Hall or TMR joysticks. Some of the Hall Effect sticks are no longer installed, but the Ginfull V5 is and is still working fine.
What would cause the up/down motion on the stick not work? I got the new joystick in and when I tested it, I can move it left and right, but there’s no up down motion registering on the program.
Thank you!
NVM! Turns out I am terrible at soldering! (No surprise, first time).
Anyways, i got the new stick in, used that new calibration website from your other video and everything works great! Thanks for all the help!!
Glad it helped.
Can you please doo the range test? Doo you get to use the full range or is there a deadzone on the outter side? Thank you allot for the video.
It maxes out before it touches the case stop. But just by a small amount.
Shouldnt it be centered straight after install? Why do you have to center it?
It will need to be calibrated, take a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/0fK1sapv0YI/v-deo.htmlsi=OQbVyVvLXjiH-oQ3
I would love to do this but between having to learn how to solder, and having no way to calibrate the stick I think it’s out of my reach.
I’m hoping a set of these will be available for the elite 2 controller as it is different from these other joysticks or ones to become available that only replace the sensor part of the joystick
Technically you could by these and retrofit them to the elite but you probably never get center set right
@@RNG_AnarchistI was thinking about that but it’s probably just worth it to let someone make a set or just the sensor part
@@RNG_AnarchistI’ve also got a 3d printer and I heard that the little magnet has a different shaft so I could make something for that
I'm having a problem with these modules where some of them will only register left/right movement on the left side in gamepad tester, even though the signal wire voltage hits the full range of 0v to 1.8v. When it's at dead center, the signal voltage is .9v, but the position in gamepad tester is about halfway across the left side of the test ring. Any idea what could cause that?
Well, it is a possibility that the original potentiometer was very far off center. Will the magnet piece not adjust enough to center it?
@@metalplasticelectronics354 its not a centering problem, the range is restricted to the left half of the circle only, and won't even touch anything past the center line regardless of magnet position. It's bizarre. Im wondering if its a manufacturing defect of some kind, or if it's possible for a crossed wire to cause it.
Oh, that is strange. If the center tap goes from 0 to 1.8 volts, then I think the hall sensor is okay. Have you tried resetting the controller? If I remember correctly, 0 volts should be all the way left, and 1.8 volts should be all the way right. Double check the center pin of the hall sensor and make sure it is soldered well. A high-resistance joint might cause it.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 resetting the controller seems to have helped. Only issue left was that moving one stick up or down made the other one move left to right in the test app, but as far as i can tell, that doesn't translate to a problem in game.
Yea, that's probably a bug in the web browser. Glad you got working.
Could you tell me if the magnetic sticks are better than the original ps5 sticks or worse in shooting games like COD Warzone ?
I don't play many games. But the new TMR joystick should be about the same. Probably will have a little better circularity so you might have to move the joystick a bit more in the corners.
How much for a ps5 one with the better throttles?
Interesting.
I had some drift on my right pad so i dismounted,took those 2 plates out ,cleaned them and put back. I even add some inox with PTFE mx6 premium on the rings.
It worked well then suddenly again stick drift happens.
I gess mistake was i have to calibrate and maybe mistake was i used regular Q tips not with the foam,maybe some fabrics left there causing stick drift again?gess i will have to tear a part all again and try 1 more time.
I will order this aswell and try,since all this i am doing for the first time..nothing to lose..
I will use TS-100 Soldering kit.
Cleaning them is only a temporary fix. It's the potentiometer element flaking off or just wearing out causing the drift.
Ooooh man amazing video! Thanks for the tutorial and link!! That website is a real treasure also. Offcourse you'll get like and subscribe!!! 😁👍
Thanks
So which of these are the latest ones. Cuz I see on AliExpress they have orange ones with red PCB and black writing and orange ones with red PCB and white writing. Which ones are better?
I don't know. I just got two kits from Amazon, but I haven't had time to test them yet. I hope to get to them next week.
Still haven't had time to test the new kits from Amazon but both kits have the orange sensors and have red PC board with black writing. So I'm pretty sure the black writing is a later revision.
Wow, what a coincidence. I also replaced the Hall sensor I ordered from AliExpress 3 days ago. As you mentioned, calibration was a bit tricky, but it is working satisfactorily. We'll have to wait and see. While watching the video, I was curious. What temperature do you set the vacuum desoldering machine to when replacing an analog module?
It’s an old Hakko 470 so it doesn’t have a temperature readout. I run it at about 90%. I would expect it runs 750 to 800 degrees F.
I have my hakko Fr-301 set to 250 degrees Celsius. I would recommend a lower temp if working on Xbox one s controllers. The joystick pads are much less heat resistant than Sony or later generation Xbox controller boards in my experience.
Hola, yo compré en aliexpres también, y al instalar el mando me dejó de funcionar, se vuelve todo loco, que puede ser? Gracias😢
@@akagicac Cuando el sensor de efecto Hall se reemplaza con soldadura, es posible que sea necesario ajustarlo, pero si no funciona por sí mismo, la soldadura suele ser mala. Parece que hay que volver a instalarlo después de retirarlo.

Would this be fine if i play shooter games thag need precise movements?
There are later versions of this joystick. See this video: ua-cam.com/video/3AVXbBMNcqA/v-deo.htmlsi=FAKPK013vck4Novp
on the linked page for these joysticks, the entries for ps4, ps5, and xboxone look the same, with no picture variation. am i to assume that they ARE indeed the same, or is there an actual difference between the three entries that would necessitate such a separation?
I know that the PS4 and PS5 controllers run at different voltages. That may require a different hall module. So they may not be the same.
Question to ask: is there any way to prevent the stick drift without take off the controller to fix things becuz I dont want to ruin up my ps5 controller and end up buying another one?
The potentiometers have to be replaced to stop the drift. You can recalibrate it to use as a temporary fix.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 oh alright but what about the aim boost kit things for controller I heard about, do they help to prevent the drift from moving around?
I don't think they will do anything for a controller drift.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 so the only option is get the hall effect to stop the drift forever?
Hall or TMR
I just got some that have the same logo but the name I have on mine is GINFULL not sure if that will help anyone
hello I have a question I connect my dualsense to my pc to test it on gamepad tester, it detects the controller but it does not display the sticks to see if there is a drift problem how do you do that?
You might try a different browser. If your using Windows there might be an updated driver that needs to be installed. I’m using linux so not sure about the Windows driver.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 thank you for your answers
Hey, just curious for your input. I recently replaced my drifting dualsense potentiometer joystick with a hall effect joy stick, identical to the one in this video.
After calibrating it to be as close to center as possible, it works fine however it introduced a new problem of snapback, that is when running forward and letting go, the joystick registers movement in the backwards direction upon the joysticks return to center.
Any suggestions on how to fix this while not significantly hurting the ability for the joystick to return to center?
Not really. It almost sounds like there is a mechanical problem with the joystick. I think I would try and use it as much as possible and see if it gets any better with use. Maybe the plastic centering parts will get a bit smoother.
Where can I get Hall effect’s for a Xbox elite 2 controller?
If that's the one with the special threaded shaft, then sorry, I don't know. KasynParts.com does have the Hall Effect joystick for the regular Xboxone controller.
Can these be used in normal controllers using normal potentiometers? I'd really like to put some in my oculus rift CV1 controllers.. 😅
You would have to use the entire joystick module, as the sensor will not fit on either the Alps or Favor Union joysticks.
Yea the entire module i dont wanna keep the old housing or such, if its same size i will go full conversion. if it works im down to spend some money for it@@metalplasticelectronics354
Yeah i'd fully convert them to it, i aint leaving anything from the old ones behind. ifthat works then yeah, i'd spend the money
@@metalplasticelectronics354
If they mechanically fit, the next thing would be to find out what voltage the oculus uses for the potentiometers. The DualSense supplies 1.8 volts to the joysticks. The DualShock is 3.3 volts, if I remember right. I'm not sure what the XBox controller uses. But Kasynparts has four versions, and it wouldn't surprise me if the only difference is the voltage they operate at.
Okay- i'll have a looksie what the voltage is and the size if i find, if all id gonna im gonna try it. Thanks for the info!@@metalplasticelectronics354
How yoy enter the.modes to calibrate???
There is not really any calibration. You have to mechanically position the magnet piece to set the center position.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 ty for response! There are videos that showing the modes that you can calibrate to that site "gamepad tester " ...I recently changed my joysticks to hall effect joysticks! The mechanic that put them to my controller calibrate them ..but I wanted a 100% calibration to do my self and see how it is done..

I'm so, so glad the algorithm pixies decided to recommends your video. I just had both of my Dual Senses joystick replace by the orange colored Hall Effect, and the R side is slightly off centered. Not enough to register on most of the game but for some, like the FF16 the camera is constantly on the move. I reach out to the technician that install it if he can calibrate it, but he is unable to do that. I'm gonna try calibrate it for myself using this video as a guide, thanks!

i got the exact same ones... i soldered them on... and basically its not working... when i put the originals back on it works fine. do you need the drivers that go on the back like i keep seeing everywhere?
No shouldn't need anything extra. is the stick position reading all the way up and left, center, or down and right? The number on the Hall sensor I used is 93L35. What is the number on yours? I wonder if they sent you the wrong ones.
Hi there!
I installed the hall effect on both of my controllers, just like u showed us
it ran smooth and perfectly!
Today however,
the left stick seemed to be stuck, it got "stuck" on left all the way.
Faulty hall effect I thought, so I replaced it
but still maximum left input signal, adjusting didn't work, resetting the controller does not work either...
That happened on both controllers.
Any idea why?
Cheers!
Just to the left or upper left? I think upper left is 0 volts output from both pots, but I'm not positive. The fact that two controllers did it is very strange. I've only install the one hall joystick, but it's still working fine. If it's just to the left and up and down work fine, then it's either 0 volts or 1.8 volts on the center tap of the bottom hall sensor. Would need a volt meter to check and see.
just perfectly left, after changing hall to another same problem, reset controller blocked too@@metalplasticelectronics354
Exactly the same thing happened to me on 2 controls with the right joystick, it seems that the board was decalibrated, did you fix it by returning to the classic joystick?
replaced it with a new hall-effect, worked for 2 hours, then it happened again...@@gustavom3587
same thing just happened with mine, worked fine for a while... i turned it off and back on, then right stick all the way left no matter what.
Do they have for ps5 edge controllers??
Didn't see any listed. I don't have one to check and see what voltage they operate at. May be the same ones that go in the DualSense.
Anyone have a good experience in fixing controller . Im about to do it for first time with this cheap kit . Is there anything better? For ps5 controller or what's the top quality brand for these hall effect one's
Did you do it ? Did it work out good for you? Thinking of buying the same pack since trying to just change patantiometer didn't work
So I have come across some new elite two specific Hall effect modules On eBay and Ali express that are blue and was curious if you’ve heard or seen anything about these? I’ve spent hours doing research and there is nothing online about these new modules.
I sure don't. I just saw these when I was looking for another part. They were so cheap, I thought I've got to see how those work.
Hola amigo, compre joystick en aliexpres para ps4 y ps5 al instalar los joystick los dos mandos dejaron de funcionar, se vuelven locos! Que puede ser? Cambie varios de joystick normales y ningún problema. Ayudame porfavor.
Are they regular joystick modules or hall effect sensor joystick modules? The PS5 hall sensor ones are made to run off of 1.8 volts, I don’t know about the others.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 si, son de efecto hall
Then I would suspect they are not the correct ones for the PS5. If it list them for use in both the PS4 and PS5 that is probably a cause for concern.

I think i mess it up on the calibration inverting the axis, and now it doesn't click anymore. Did you get that issue, or even better, do you know how to correct it, or do I have to replace it for a new one?
It's probably not messed up; it might just be loose. It all just presses together. See at about the 1:20 mark in the video. You might unclip the sensor part and try to push the center bushing back into the magnet piece.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 Thx man! I'll try to open and realign the magnet.
I just got back into fixing/modding controllers and want to install some hall effects. The independent firmware to calibrate sticks, would that work to calibrate the hall effect sticks? I believe I saw your video on this exact topic but can't find it so figured to ask. Thx.
Yes it will.

is the circularity full after putting it back to its case?
The circularity is more than full. These Hall sensors seem to max out before the thumb knob hits the case stop. I think that might be part of the different feel they have.
Any ideas how to make the thumb stick max out close to the case?
@@NeoDrenI think you have to buy a third party calibration board for the Dualsense. There is a software tool for calibrating the DualShock 4 but not the dualsense unfortunately.
Could possibly unclip the hall sensor part from the joystick frame and bend it away a bit. Putting a bit more distance between the sensor and the magnet. Centering might be a bit more challenging. But it’s really not bad the way it is.
Bu modülün dualsense ana kartını bozacağını söylüyorlar. Ne düşünüyorsunuz ?
No, it should be fine.
Hello, good video, I would like to know if the magnetic potentiometer could be installed on the base joystick by removing the magnet it has and putting it on the base plastic of the base joystick axes. You would do me a big favor by telling me because I don't have a heat gun. It would be much easier to put
No, it want fit. While the sensor will snap on a Favor Union joystick frame. The magnetic part requires a different shaft.
@@metalplasticelectronics354ok thanks
they are the size of a key board key
I have seen some UA-camrs adding a board under the soldering do u know if thats important?
I don't think those will work with the Hall effect joysticks.
I ordered some for my xsx, anyone know if you need the pcbs people keep using for jitter and circularity? Also does the magnet in a trigger effect the sticks enough to register input?
What is the program you used to test the controller?
It's a web site hardwaretester.com/gamepad seems to work well.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 You should add it to the description tbh
I guess I should, don't think UA-cam would have a problem with that.
i wish they'd just go on and switch to hall effect, but then they'd lose all that money from people buying new ones which i'm sure is the biggest reason why they won't. candy con seems like a pretty good substitute if you want a good hall effect controller. just sucks it's modeled after the xbox layout. i'm partial to the dual sense design so i'm gonna order some of the newer blue ones that require a board here in a few weeks when they're back in stock. i don't have any drift issues, but i've had a lot of problems with the sticks just feeling wonky on 4 dual sense controllers and even one that just felt like it was groaning when i moved it. this gen of controllers has been horrible for sticks not working correctly. never had to replace a psx/2/3/4 controller, but i'm on my 4th or 5th of the dual sense.
You should look at the Ginfull V5. It's my favorite so far.
Now do one on the dualsense edge
Oh, I'm saving up.
is Bigfoot recording this? 😭
do you need motherboard for it too? ive seen some vids where they attach a small motherboard under the the main motherboard
No, I've never used any.
Hello! Did you deep tested it? May be some ANY wireless connection issue with hall effect stick's on dualsense?
The Hall effect sensors shouldn't cause any wireless connection problems.
I compared the stock vs hall sticks side by side and first impression was thst the hall sticks feel different because they have lag. 😂
It doesn't seem to be lag as much as the Hall sensor high-to-low slew rate. Take a look at this video here: ua-cam.com/video/_6DDGpdiuLU/v-deo.html

It shouldn't. The controller has a voltage regulator that will supply 1.8 volts.

@@metalplasticelectronics354 damn I'm not competent enough to do this you'd think with all the tech wizards who could jailbreak a ps3 or sell custom controllers with backpaddles there'd be a market for installing a mod for controllers with technology that was invented in the 90s so we don't get stick drift
Better yet you'd think the big companies like Sony and Microsoft would just switch from analog to hall effect and stop being cheap and greedy capitalism wins again ig
What tool do you use for desoldering?
The one I’m using is a very old Hakko 470 desoldering station. It’s been discontinued for years. There are some knock offs on Amazon. Will see them listed as a vacuum desoldering station or desoldering gun. I don’t know how well the ones on Amazon work but it’s just a vacuum pump and a heater with a hollow tube in the center for the solder to get sucked through.
Hey, if you were able to do a pros and cons video about your gun, would be awesome. Thanks for the reply.
The one I have says GINFULL
The ones I just got from Amazon have that stamped on them, I would say they are later versions.
Can work in xbox series x/s controller???
Kasynparts lists models for PS4, PS5, Switch-Pro, and Xbox One. I think it would depend on what voltage the series X/S controllers run at. The DualSense runs at 1.8 volts. The DualShock runs at 3.3 volts. I don't know about the others.
I just wish sony would give us a way to program center for cris sake
Yep, that would solve all the problems and would be so easy. That really is a knock on Sony that they haven't added that.

Why are you speaking in the same exact tone and inflection as JerryRigEverything?
I don't know. Is that a UA-cam channel?
Cause he uses AI to speak that's why.
If I was skilled enough to put these in I absolutely would
It was my first time soldering /desoldering something and wanted to give it a go. Took me 3 hours to do it but in the end I succeeded (mostly due to lack of a desoldering pump). I actually used replacement joysticks with potentiometers(blue ones). Overall very rewarding experience to fix something that is broken.
Great video, I replaced my sticks on an old xbox elite controller but the gamepad tester is showing the sticks continuosuly moving down and to the right of center. Do you know what would be causing this? (I'm thinking a poor solder job as i'm quite new to it)
I've never worked on an Xbox controller. So I don't know what the voltage would be. If it is all the way down and to the right, I would suspect a bad ground or voltage supply to the joystick potentiometers. If it’s just a little bit off, is there a way to calibrate the Xbox controller? The replacement joystick will almost certainly have a different center value.
@@metalplasticelectronics354 Thanks for ther reply. they are clearly slightly off center which can be adjusted but i think it is a bad ground as you say as it is showing up as if someone is pulling hard down and to the right continuously
People who throw away their PlayStation 5 controllers because of stick drift are hilarious.
Buy a 5 or $8 pack of joysticks and your controller will almost never break
TKS from brazil
The difference is calibration.
The last 10% of the travel isn't measured.
I don't mind that as I hated 100% being hard to the edge of the stick do I can take it lightly to the edge of the movement and still have 100%.
The bigger issue is inconsistency sensor to sensor..
If you play a game that requires precision these are not it. The deadzone is ridiculous
Cap. I use mine perfectly fine. These are more precise than regular sticks
@@JRockPRthank you!
So pretty much what I've learned is it's not as simple as taking a stock controller apart and popping these bad boys in....
It depends on whether the definition of popping is desoldering the old joystick module and soldering in the new one. It's a bit of work. But the magnetic joysticks are getting better and better.
Good content, but are you trying to sound like JerryRigEverything?
You're the second person that has said that. I looked at one of his videos after the first person said I sound like him, I don't hear it. I don't think I sound anything like him.
