HUGE TIP - For replacing a potentiometor, if you pry it away from the main assembly (like you would to clean it) and bend it back and forth till it snaps off from the pins, that makes it so much easier because then you can just desolder each pin and pull them out one at a time. That way you don't even need a solder sucker or solder wick.
This is gold! I've replaced the whole analog stick many times... little did I realize you can take off the sensors and clean them. Since this video, I've since replaced the sensors from a new analog stick, without replacing the potentiometers and it seemed to work on one controller... But like everything, its a hit or miss, didn't work on another controller. Now instead of removing the whole analog stick, I'll just be replacing the potentiometers from now! Thanks!
Thanks for the help. It worked on Wii U doing the cleaning method, just took the potentiometer out and sprayed isopropyl alcohol, brush teeth, put them all together again, and now it's working flawless.
@@Tronicsfix when I first started my job 2 years ago I was the first one in the store to learn how to solder & it was because id come home & watch your channel for hours 🤣 but its definitely helped me out alot & the content is great. I love you you talk about what to do & what not to do or that their are different ways to do something its definitely a great learning experience
Good guide thank you! I cleaned mine which made a difference for a few months, but now the drift is back again. Appreciated you saying that this method doesn’t always work, makes me not feel as incompetent..!
Me about to skip through the sponsor segment: "Wait, what? OH THAT'S AWESOME!" I was debating what I'd do for this DIY project I'm planning (I'd need 2 of the only breadboards I have on hand), and JLCPCB looks a heck of a lot better. Kudos for getting an awesome sponsor. And also kudos for the video itself. I was just talking with some friends on discord about joystick drift with the Switch lol. Seems a lot of folks are replacing THE WHOLE PAIR OF JOYCONS when a joystick is drifting.
Changing the potentiometer worked for me! Had an old 360 controller and all i had to do was switch out the potentiometers on my Series S with the ones on the 360. Imagine the little strips as a skull shape and the chin part goes at the bottom. This video saved me so much money!
Nice one, Steve! Thanks a lot for doing this video as not many people know that you do not have to replace the stick itself and can do with very simple repair quite often.
Thank you so much for this video. One of the analog sticks in my controller was drifting vertically. I opened the potentiometer, cleaned it up following your instructions, and now it is working like a charm. And I used the right amount of thermal paste, as well. :-)
Thank you soooo much! I bought a spare analog stick (the square with two potetinometers) from a Xbox One controller for 1 USD and I fixed my Series controller up and down stickness and drifting by doing the method 2! The only difference is that I got the small spart (metal ring) that you removed and, instead of putting it back after cleaning the insides of the potentiometer, I replaced with the spare part's one (since the original seemed damaged) and it worked (on second try, I had to use both metal rings from the spare potentiometers because I destroyed the first one putting it back in)!!!!!
This video helped out so much. I had an old Xbox controller kicking around that drifted pretty bad. It was in pretty good shape so it always bothered me. I opened up the potentiometer to clean it and found it was full of some liquid, probably soda. Works like a dream now.
So I have two newish controllers, both with stick drift issues. I'll be trying some of these fixes tonight, I'll post my results tomorrow. Wish me luck!
This video helped me fix the stick drift on my Thrust YULA GTX540 PC controller. It had a guncked up potentiometer on the left analog stick, and the second method you showed worked perfectly. Thank you!
Been trying to fix the drift and stutter on mine for a good year now. I didnt know it was as simple as you showed to replace the thingies and not the whole stick, so thank you majorly for that. Been cleaning them just to get a little time of it not being so bad lol. Already had to replace two ribbons from taking it apart so much.
Successfuly replaced both vertical potentiometers on both sticks, was harder the first time since controller was new and wasnt opened before. Second time I did it in like 15min. The vertical axis were jumping up and down before, now they're stable. It's slightly off center, someone mentioned in these comments each of these sensors is slightly differently calibrated, but I've got slight deadzones set up for that. Thanks for the helpful guide man :D
3 роки тому+2
Thanks Steve! My DualShock 4 is now working perfectly. I cleaned the potentiometers :)
Great video again Steve, thank you for diving into the whole analoge stick meganism and also the trick to only replace the potentiometer which is probably also a cheaper solution instead of replacing the whole analoge stick. Can't wait for the next video because they are always fun and educational. Keep up the good work and offcourse have a good one ;)
Your an inspiration to us doityourselfers. I like how u said requires soldering skills. And not just get a soldergun and solder it. I did my guitar and it took me like 7 diff tries just to learn how to solder then doing it and redoing it. Its deff not just a matter of getting the tools. U need the skills when it come to soldering
So all you have done is the Option 2, potentiometer steps right around 6:00 to remove them without soldering and it's fixed many controllers? You clean them the same way as shown in the video?
This video and the 8 broken Dualsense video inspired me to fix my own. I have no soldering equipment (costs more than a controller) so I bent the potentiometer back to clean it properly. Way farther back than I meant to but it was probably for the better. It was VERY dirty and with good deal of wear but it seems to be working much much better for now (knock on wood).
Man. Your video was two weeks too late for me. I unfortunately ruined my sons elite controller. I got one stick replaced but the second one didn't come out as cleanly and I think I ruined a trace to one potentiometer as it is at full left deflection in the test software. It was also my first time using hot air. Live and learn I guess. Thanks for helping and sharing!
I love ur vids and you have literally shown me that i am very keen in repairing and will study electrical engineering in the future. Thanks so much Steve! Much love to you and your family
Fixed my issue. Even tho I had to go a lil roundabout to get here. Just how to open a gamesir g4s controller was challenging as it was. But once I got the the potentionmeter I could use some well needed ipropanyl on it to clean. Works better than new now! By some reason it had a lot of black build up on one side. No idea why. But it stopped all shenanigans all together. Thank you :)
If you try method two and it doesnt work buy a NEW thumbstick of ebay and swap the ring as in method 2- this worked for me. The other thing you can do swap the rings and if the controller drifts on the opposite axis then you know it is the ring and not the potentiometer it self
I've replaced my Switch left joycon analogue stick twice because of drift. Cost of 2 replacement sticks - £7, cost of new joycons £65. Get stuffed Nintendo
@@8-bitsteve500 it's not just nintendo, all brands do this. And i honestly think it's for the best. I agree controllers are just too expensive for their durability, but it's like an incentive for you to fix it yourself
Hello TronicsFix. I recently started learning to repair XBOX controllers. I'm glad people like you are way ahead of me in skills, so we can learn new things just by watching your videos. Thanks for that! I have a question about the potentiometers. When you start testing the first replacement method (around 3:46), it shows that the X and Y axis aren't at zero, so they aren't perfectly alligned. What is the maximum % that you can have there?
Just swapping the little disc that you took out at 6:00 usually works for me. No soldering required but you do need to spend a £1 to buy a stick from ebay.
Replacing inside potentiometer (white thingy that's being held inside the green plastic case) fixed my controller. It's worth a try before desoldering/soldering if cleaning fails. The part is less than $5 on amazon.
@@Tronicsfix Sounds good, I really don't blame you. Again Steve, thanks for all your hard work bro. Your videos have helped me so much. I've also made a few $$$ thanks to you.
But where do you get your parts? Its so hard to find legitimate parts, they always seem to be either aftermarket, faulty, or otherwise just not as accurate as the ones that come on controllers.
Thats what im saying i’ve gone through and returned three sets in a row of joysticks/ potentiometers because they all drift even after cleaning. Cant get a single one to sit still and if they do they’re too far offset from the center
Hey, where do you buy your potentiometers/analog stick replacements? I have been doing this for a while and I buy my parts from battle beaver. Yours just seem to be of higher quality
The potentiometers i bought i just can't connect them to the analog sticks. I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or if the potentiometers are bad.
did you ever think about making your own show on discovery channel or something similar? All your videos are so satisfying to watch and you are a great presenter :D
awesome video. i have never soldered before, but i'm giving it a try. y-axis on left analog stick from xbox one is drifitng up to the north pole, and i'd hate to throw away the controller because of a little piece. i think i will just try and switch the one potentiometer and see how that works, because i don't think there is a need to swap out the entire thing. thanks for the video.
I had a controller with drift which was making Fall Guys impossible. I pulled it all apart, and cleaned the offending area with a qtip and isopropyl alcohol and amazingly it fixed it.
Wow, we are having a pretty good timing lately. Every time I upload a video, you upload one on a really similar subject right after it (few hours or days later). It's really nice as I can know if I am going the right way or not. :)
I just take a look at your channel and it's true xD Your content is pretty interesting too but I think Tronicsfix has more experience. Don't give up ! You are on the right way.
Hhhmmm, I wonder if you could flip the black track at 8:13 over to get a new contact surface would that work? I’ve never done this before but would be curious to see
You have to keep in mind that replacing the potentiometer wont give you the 1:1 feeling like before. They are always carefully calibrated,and so far nobody has find a easy way to recalibrate replaced potentiometers. And be careful what kind of porentiometers you use. Some have different deadzones and curves.
Which method have you tried?

You have to keep in mind that replacing the potentiometer wont give you the 1:1 feeling like before. They are always carefully calibrated,and so far nobody has find a easy way to recalibrate replaced potentiometers.
And be careful what kind of porentiometers you use. Some have different deadzones and curves.
an easy way to recalibrate them is to solder 500K Ohm SMD Potentiometer for each potentiometer and you can manually calibrate them like that.
Series X S controllers will auto calibrate. Xbox One controllers will not.
