I've purchased controllers where the analog stick went bad within a few weeks. After taking them apart and opening the analog modules, I can see bad flaws on the contacts points inside the analog modules. I've attempted to clean them to no avail. I purchased some analog modules online and soldered in new ones. Sometimes that works and sometimes the problem comes back fairly quickly. Even after opening some of the analog modules I purchased, I can see flaws on the surface of the contact points. These things are manufactured with flaws a lot.

I have watched a few of your other videos to try and fix my old xbox controller. 15 minutes ago I would not have understood why you call that joystick box a trashcan. I had cleaned the stick with compressed air and isoprope alchol a few times, I finally opened it up and there was so much debis in there.

Yo, Killzone Shadow Fall multiplayer. I didn't keep PS+ for long, but while I had it I loved that game

[@dohnjoe9211]

I got a PS5 fairly recently and have been thinking about getting Shadow Fall. Do you recommend the campaign?

[@Rozzcow1]

Super late comment to the video but i have some ps3 controllers with so much wear in the sticks the they stick in the forward position because its worn a slot into the stick shaft where it presses against the shell lmao

My lb button on my Xbox controller is not working properly. I barely apply pressure to it and it acts like I’m pressing it all the way down.

[@HowToX]

I have a video about the LB on the Xbox controller. I suggest you try the things shown in it.

We already have a better mechanism: hall sticks. Unfortunately, first-party companies refuse to use them in order to mantain an ecosystem of planned obsolescence.
