  • How to repair Xbox One analog stick input. If your having issues with your character not walking in the direction you want or if the speed is inconsistent or lags we suggest trying to replace these analog stick sensor wheels before you buy a new XB1 controller. Often this will solve your analog stick issues.

    Just did this for my control. My left analog was really "loose" and would sometimes get stuck in the left position. I air dusted all 4 sensor compartments, then switched the 2 from the left analog stick to the right one (and vise versa). Left feels like new now and right feels loose (which im okay with, because I rarely use the right stick; and it doesnt stick left anymore). I would recommend just switching them like I did if your you think you use the other analog stick less.

    My mind is kind of blown right now. I've had to replace sticks for several years now and it's very easy with the right tools i.e. soldering iron, solder and desoldering pump/braid.
    I've never once thought of doing anything like this and just tried it out on a stick by "transplanting" another sensor out of a stick and IT WORKS! No drift! Now, situations like this are of course for sticks that are NOT loose and feel as they should, like the stick I just fixed, yet for one reason or another drift nonetheless. This video has opened a whole new avenue for repair for me!

      @Tobias Lundström you can take sensors from old controllers as long as they have not caused drift issues with that old controller. The side sensor is for up and down movement. The bottom sensor is for right and left movement. Depending on what type of drift you have (forward/backward movement or side-to-side movement) will determine what sensor you need to replace. Same for the aiming joystick. Remember. Up&down = side sensor, left&right = bottom sensor

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for stocking the orange sensor wheels, -i own a scuf impact controller,
    and it apparently came with a weirdly bent one, -so for the time being i un-bent it so it worked...
    but the deadzone was dummy thicc, and i looked alllll over the internet,
    and like...you're LITERALLY the only one who sells the orange ones.
    -My friend bought some for me and sent them, -now my controller...it works PERFECTLY, as it should.
    They are in good condition, and actually look better than the ones that were already in my controller
    (the little rings/bar-cuts are nicely spaced-out evenly, and the amount that they are bent up is uniform.
    i am so so so SO happy you have this store,
    -that is a goddamn 475$ in canadian, controller right there, it's not funny that there are so many issues and the disk came all weird, -i also have to "constantly" remove them, clean the sensor-area, and then insert them again to remove this weird flickering deadzone issue due to some sortof weird non-organic "dirt" getting in there
    ...so yeah, annoying and stupid,
    but HEY, it fixes it!, and gaming helps me with my depression,
    so i can't stress enough how happy i am that you sell these disks.
    (lol, and incase i f-up while cleaning one, i'm happy to now have backups)
    Now my controller works NOICE, very nice, and my little de-stressifying 'life-savings' worth controller isn't stressing me out with the dumb stuff it likes to pull, lol.
    The only thing i worry about is...what the heck swivels the disk-enclosure open?, is is a mechanism or just soldier bending???. THAT kinds worries me, don't want it to snap and only be heldby the cases's snapps,
    but luckily i've had to do less sensor cleaning as often,
    so...hopefully it's okay for a while, and maybe i won't have to clean it anymore someday.
    it seems to have gone from every 2 days to every week now,
    and with the new sensors...maybe it will be less often. it's so good now.
    Anyways, thanks for having such a diverse controller tech-pieces and things shop,
    it is so awesome and i hope your buisiness keeps going well, i bet you make alot of people happy like silly me, lol.

    This video has been incredibly helpful to me in my search for a more detailed view of the analog box. I have a question though and if you had a little time I was hoping you could answer. Ill try to make this brief. I have recently put xbox elite sticks into my Gamecube controller and for the most part they fit. The problem is that the underside of the control stick is hitting the sensor housings causing there not to be a full range of motion going to the right & down. Is there any type of way I could take the green sensor housings off and leave them out? Will the sensor stay on the analog box without them or do the housings provide THAT much pressure to keep the sensor in? Could gluing the sensor in work as well? Thank you for your time I apologize if this was long.

    Just fixed a controller I got with a used system that had a bad drift using what was basically this method. I am waiting for replacement sensors but just decided to clean the ones currently in the controller with some q-tips and isopropyl alcohol, and it worked like a charm. Gotta wipe down the sensor gently but thoroughly and the same for the contact track it rides along inside the housing. But, after putting it all back together, it didn’t drift at all anymore. Thanks for the great video, gave me the exact info I was looking for. 👏👏👏

    This video is great, thanks! I just fixed my controller, no more drift now. But for the left stick you don't need to disassemble the controller that much, I was able to access the green bit to do the repair as soon as I pulled off the thumbstick, without removing the circuit board at all. It's a bit of a tighter area to work in, but still pretty easy.
