Replacement Thumbsticks Compatible with PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller, 3D Joystick Module Parts Analog Caps Compatible with Sony PS5 Controller 4pcs

With a years worth of use, I began to experience drift in my PS5 DualSense controller, which visibly is the movement of your onscreen character without controller input. For me, without thumbstick input, my character at times would just begin jogging left. Not ideal, and worsened with time.The culprit (for me) was potentiometer (the green 3-prong components on the sides of the joystick modules) malfunction, and this kit will correct the problem. You CAN desolder and replace the entire joystick module with one from this kit, but it’s EASIER to simply replace the disc wheel inside your existing potentiometer. If you insert a small flathead driver into the edge at the top of the potentiometer, you can pop the side tabs loose and gently bend it over to the side. I removed the disc wheel, cleaned the carbon film inside with an alcohol swab, and replaced the disc wheel with one (similarly removed) from this kit. After replacing the disc wheel, simply squeeze the casing back together until the side tabs reseat.Works perfectly, no drift whatsoever!There are plenty of how-to videos available online regarding disassembly of the controller, and this kit also includes the screwdriver and pry tool required to do it.I will give you advanced warning that the controller wiring is about as short as allowable for assembly, and if you pull too much against it, it’s very possible to inadvertently break the wiring at the solder connection. This actually happened to me, and you’d then need to strip the wire and resolder it to the appropriate node. For reference, the controller wiring is 26 gauge, and you’d need a wire stripper small enough (Klein Tools 11046) to accommodate the size.

Fixed the stick drift on my controller. Easy to use. Thank you!

Had no idea how involved/advanced the installation would be. Didnt realize it wouldn't plug in. I didn't even attempt, on my best day my soldering skills couldn't do a clean enough job to not ruin this.

I just needed the material inside the joystick. It worked great. Be sure you are careful when taking apart your controller though and watch out that you don’t lose anything. Good product though! (I did not need to solder anything.

Was not aware this would require soldering so have no idea if it is good or not as I decided not to try as it was too complicated.

I saw a couple reviews here blaming the parts,if you don’t have the skill or the proper tools don’t blame the parts,it is hard to do it ,but if you have basic soldering skills it’s not that bad.They look and feel good.

I'm sure it works great, but you need extra equipment to smolder parts of it, otherwise it's never going to work.

Was a little skeptic for the price , but after soldering the part on my PS5 it worked as intended. If you know how to solder is nice and easy to set up.
