Thank you very much man. I just done this today and it’s working perfect again now after sitting idle for 2 months not finding the thumb stick replacements this worked spot on. Thanks again great video 👌🏻
@@almightymoose9541 Yes make a New video update I'll do it because can't buy a stick module since it is unavailable for almost a year crazy SONY they scammed us
I'm not gonna lie ..I thought you were about to do all that technical soldering bullshit, but this is actually extremely clever. I never considered switching out the white potentiometer piece itself for a new one. My mind is kinda blown. This is one of those "FBI delete this" kinda memes. 🤣 bravo good sir. You have absolutely earned a sub today
Won't last forever as the wiper (white thing) will just wear out the track (green housing) and track will need replaced, either by buying a new stick module, or learning a tiny bit of soldering to remove the potentiometer from the board and solder a new one on. Which can be done for like 1/10th the price of a new OEM stick module lmao
Now why didn't Sony make this an option for all their gamepads, not just their 200. premium brand. Better yet, just put hall effects in all gamepads as a standard!
Hall effects were used in many ps3 controllers and other companies used them as well. Hall effects were standard but everyone stopped using them to make us buy more controllers for money. It makes me so upset that they do it on purpose and now it’s so expensive to purchase a controller with Hall effect sticks. It’s also very risky to change it on your own and Sony won’t add the upgrade for you. And even if you do add them yourself it removes any kind of warranty you may have so any other problems will also have to be solved by you. On top of that the extra sticks for the dualsense edge are always out of stock so buying the controller is pointless. Leaves you the options of buying another standard controller or buying another pro controller… the whole thing is a scam
Can you upload the full replacement process without any cuts? This doesn't show me how to put the new potentiometer inside where the old one was. I'm just scared I'll mess it up without a step by step guide.
It is that simple, they just pop in and out? From what I understand, the original dualsense uses the exact same components. This means you can buy an original dualsense controller for $70 (less than the cost of a stick replacement at the current going price of $80) that is full of new potentiometers, take it apart and have plenty of replacements. Can you use any potentiometers on any side? This could be genius. You can also salvage your old drifted dualsense controllers of the good potentiometers, not to mention doing rotations since most often only 1 gets worn either in the up or left direction.
Exactly, but you could save more money by just buying the analog stick replacements for $9.99 which would give you a total of 8 potentiometers. Yes very easy you can use them for either side, and salvage good ones from old controllers.
You guys aren't thinking about one thing though and it's the Track that the potentiometer disk slides along. What I notice is happening is that the prongs on the disk for the potentiometer that glide along the inside of the track have a tendency to wear off and create tear marks on the inside of the Track that the disk fits on. So regardless, if you got the disk replacement for the potentiometer and your track is shot, it's not going to fix the issue without removing and soldering a new track. soldering.

Planning to do the same thing when I eventually get drift on this thing and repeatedly cleaning it no longer works. Do you think it works better with some sort of lubricant? I’ve seen other people say it’s required and some say it isn’t
Ended up having some dog hair in my thumbstick that didn't come out cleaning it with alcohol and air. Appreciate the walkthrough on how to open it up 🦾
Do you have to replace 2 of them per stick? The side one that you show and the back one? You don't even show you putting the new one in... one of most important parts?
There are other videos explainimg in detail,not hard to find ,its needs a bit of a fiddle but its not hard,you may meed to use your phone to magnify what youre looking at coz its ver tiny👍
Have fixed this problem? There are 2 green pots on the module ,each with their own potentiometers,one is for up and down ,the other is for left and right.
Ended of making it a lot worse, could only move forwards 🤣🤣 maybe it’s my fault but oh well bought a rep stick from AliExpress that should do the trick

Buying isn't pointless. Just learn to solder and repair the sticks yourself for 1/10th of the price of a Sony Stick Module's MSRP.

Yes I’ll upload a video showing how to
@@almightymoose9541um where is that vid ?
I am willing to try this with playstation stick modules being sold out constantly. Do you have the amazon link?
www.amazon.com/dp/B0C45RHLKL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Walmart has everything all the time they are a little more costly but not too much check it out one day
just watched your vid why didn't just replace whole unit
if it's not a hall effect replacement, it's not a fix.
Those Alps potentiometers are total garbage and will inevitably begin drifting again.
It worked for me bro is an absolute legend 😂

Can u use hall effect sticks on this the edge?
Sony found a way to sell printer ink by selling us controllers with a definitive expiration date
How’s it working since you changed the potentiometer?
Runs great I’ll make an update video soon 👍
@@almightymoose9541how much did you have to calibrate after wards
All u need is to spray rubbing alcohol in it, u don't have to purchase and replace anything.
The Edge? I have 4 replacement sticks and got mine the day it was released. I haven't had a drop of stick drift yet.
You’re very lucky and how often do you game?

@@almightymoose9541 So a lot but for some reason I've still not had any issues.
I'm glad I found this before buying from Sony
Yea definitely not worth it, hopefully a version 2 will be better
Planning to do the same thing when I eventually get drift on this thing and repeatedly cleaning it no longer works.
Do you think it works better with some sort of lubricant? I’ve seen other people say it’s required and some say it isn’t
You shouldn’t need any lubricant 👍
what song is playing in the background?
Just a beat I made in garage band

I did this and whenever I press down on the stick it reads it as an input moving the stick to the left
Have fixed this problem?
There are 2 green pots on the module ,each with their own potentiometers,one is for up and down ,the other is for left and right.
And how is the control going after the change, has it drifted again?
It’s still running like new 👍
Couldn’t u just by a whole new stick for a 20?
not available on the official site and resale is $50, this method allows me to fix the controller 8 times for under $9.99.
@@almightymoose9541 thanks for the information and nice video btw 💪🏽
couldn’t you maybe be mod it to take hall effect modules instead then it would really help stick drift
The Hall effect modules aren’t compatible with the edge for some reason
Wow you almost save me men 😅good video thanks 🙏
Glad I could help
Ended of making it a lot worse, could only move forwards 🤣🤣 maybe it’s my fault but oh well bought a rep stick from AliExpress that should do the trick
www.amazon.com/dp/B0C45RHLKL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Could i do it but with hall effect stycks?
Yea I’m sure you can use Hall effects sticks, you would have to follow a different method
better idea install hall effect joysticks :]
Isn't planned obsolescence great??😂
lol it sucks/ :
Thanks man you saved me 49$
nice
Thanks
how do controllers get more expensive but cheaper every year
Got damn scammers lol
Just buy the module
Thats the fucking problem they're sold out everywhere
they also almost tripled the price, like what they did before ps5 release, people horded the module stocks i guess
Didn’t work 😂
Why didn‘t it work?
