- In this video we are going to show you how to fix drift for ps5 controller stick.
You can buy ps5 controller stick and replace the new one.
This video shows the absolute solution for stick drifting in ps5 controllers.
wow this is the easiest way i found..i thought i had to change the whole joystick. needed a heatgun and all that. this is actually much easier to just change the potentiometer. thank you!
That’s right… we just do it without heatgun. Thanks for your attention ❤️😄
There is obvious way if you think a little bit
@DIYVidss um you guys know you can change them out without soldering at all, you just bend back the tab and switch out the little white potentiometer disks.
@@DIYVidssalso if your gonna already break out the solder kit why not get hall effect sticks
@@JeffDeath99Lol that doesn't fix it the green thing has a black track that gets worn out because it's made out of carbon/graphite which wears out due to movement from said white thing which is the potentiometer wiper. the black track is the medium for the up/down & left/right electrical signal to be sent which is registered using the white wiper from the movement of the stick
Awesome job! Once you broke out the soldering gun, my confidence dropped 😂. You make it easy.
Use flux and a copper braid to remove any remaining solder from the contacts. Always use flux when soldering, wetting and surface tension. You can also check the resistance of the potentiometers before installation. And please, clean the soldering iron tip.
Thanks for your advice 👍🏻🌸
I replaced the sliders inside for my right joystick & it worked perfectly. This was the first video I watched on the drifting problem so I had to leave a comment.
Thanks for your attention 🌸🌟
Start with just cleaning the potetiometer with alcohol or electronic cleaner. The black rings on the green part and just change the white wipers. No soldering needed and works 85 percent of the time. Nice video. The method in video will work best if you have had the controller a long time and are hard on the sticks.
I wrote the same, before reading this 😂
opening up the DS4 was so easy and putting it back too but this one seem like a lot of things could go wrong.
Very useful video (for more reasons) but, since it takes several skills in soldering + perfect soldering iron + perfect tin + perfect soldering iron temperature, tin suction pump (cleaner work) (so, absolutely not base tools as not base skills) to do all this, instead of replacing the potentiometers, I recommend simply using dry cleaner electrical contact spray (perhaps the same one you used to clean the soldering iron) directly on the potentiometers and you will go on for years without replacing the potentiometers... then you will do it with base tools
My ps5 controller have this drifting issue. Then I saw your video and it really helpful. I will try to fix it myself. Thank you for making this video.
Better use a Hall Sensor. You can also buy just the compatible hall effect "pots" ... This together with the new calibration sw solves the drift issue permanently.
Can you install a Hall Effect potentiometer instead of the regular one using this exact method ?? Like would the regular joystick work with a Hall Effect potentiometer or is the hardware different??
You can, it works fine. Just have to calibrate it after
Hello
Yesterday I tried to bring on this board.
The soldering went fine. But now, after adjusting the potentiometer, the motion range to the other side is less. Did I something wrong?
OR JUST GRAB HALL EFFECT STICK BOXES. WHY SOLDER IF ITS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
Nice job, do you have a link if I want to buy the all stuff that we need ?
what screwdriver kit did you use?
The round potentiometer and the stock one with two notches are they compatible
Just take the little round thing out of the green thing and clean both things. Worked for me. I used rubbing alchohol and qtips.
And I pried it apart with a guitar pick.
Yes… sometimes it works… thanks for your advice 👍🏻🌸
Thankyou this is easy to follow.
But still tho, it's sad that my ps3 and 4 controller can hold up for years but I just bought the ps5 one for like 3months😅
replace only the white piece inside , more easy , same result 6:05 , no need for unsoldering the whole piece ( the green one ) , but thx man for your time
Indeed this is the definitive solution, saying that, I will share what works for me, I opened the potentiometer cases, and proceed to clean it like I always do, doing it only lasted like at most 2 weeks, but the last time I use something different, normally I used isopropyl alcohol, but the last time I used wd-40, I used a q-tip and moist it in wd-40, cleaned the potentiometer track and all the other components, then I used q-tip with isopropyl alcohol and softly clean the excess of wd-40, not pressing to much to remove the wd-40, just gently to take the excess...for the past 2 months I have not had stick drift on my controller, when in the past at most this method only worked for 1-2 weeks, the only thing I noted is that the sticks are squeaky, not at the point is uncomfortable, but there is a squeak.
My controllers ribbin cables are different
Dude has the hands of a greek god the way he’s able to easily take things out of
I came across the same issue I had to push the solder through with a small pin
My buddy found that the plastic dust gunks up the grease. He just puts new grease in and there good.
Thanks man you saved me ♥️♥️♥️✌🏻
Hello..You play DMZ call of duty with ps5 controller.. I can’t play the game show me the controller of Xbox buttons to play
What temperature did you have it to desolder? I tried today and could not get it it to separate
It’s 60w soldering iron … it doesn’t designate the temperature.
I have a novel idea,boycott Sony products until they put out a decent product .
That's what i was thinking
@@chuteorphee3489 👍
Happens to xbox and switch controllers I fix more xbox controlers than ps5
@@pontiacgrandam1989 Well, when the fix is already out there and these companies do not use it then it's hard not to consider that they are colluding together to fleece the consummer.
Every controlelr manufacturer does that, in fact Sony was the only company selling Hall sensor based gamepads at some point but stopped doing that for some reason.
The same website also has a calibration software
Which cable is the one you took out on 2:43? I accidentally ripped that one and need to look for a replacement online
Two bottom side are two mics cables… both sides are triggers … up side is for touch pad.
This is why I get a warranty on my controller so I can take it back every year😂

Do I need a heat gun?
Idea: Could you give a fair price range for each repair that you do? That way, we (the ignorant) have a better better idea of someone giving us a fair shake.
Why's flux is not important? I'm nee to soldering 🙏
Sony just made a very easy to brake controller this solderings could easy be just attach/detache wires.
I wanna do this but i’m so terrified of soldering. Especially when it comes down to the black and red wires.. the soldering of the pot looks fairly simple though
Yes it could be hard for first time 😁
@@DIYVidss Do you have instagram by any chance
@@danielm4136 No. I don’t 😁
Man you think you can teach me how to do all the soldering?
It sucks that PS5 controllers have stick drift and I’ve had my ps4 controllers for years and I’ve never encountered that issue.
Try holding the analog stick one direction then Blow into the opposite side as hard as you can.
Do this in every direction. It completely stopped my stick drift after I had it for a week. Hope this helps
Good job bro keep going 👍👍👍👍
The orange ones have a different electrical resistance than the green ones.
They are not interchangeable!
This will usually lead to very high sensitivity.
Have you checked the difference?
You have to change the whole stick if you want to replace an orange one. It works properly and good without difference. It may survive more than usual one.
@@DIYVidss You're right.
It works when you change the whole unit and not just the sensor part .
I could have been more specific in my comment.
This controller is an over-designed pos... to spend that much money for something so small to go wrong is a terrible customer service issue - the Xbox controller has the same issue, but accessing the components can be done in about 3 steps without the need to put the entire controller at risk
Thanks for your advice 👍🏻🌸
Can you SEND program the base tools?
Can you please fix my ps5 controller? The problem is stick dtift and i have no idea what to do
This video shows the absolute solution for this issue… the first try is cleaning the inside sticks with tuner spray and if it doesn’t work you have to change the stick on the ps5 controller board.
@@DIYVidss I dont know how tho
@@DIYVidssdo you have a link to the stick module

The analog joystick is still the same as the previous version, it is easily damaged, with a more complicated machine board, it is even more difficult to replace it, for some reason Sony doesn't make the analog one easily removable, even though I hope it is replaced with a socket model
Thanks for your attention 🌟
Hey can you help please i changed the sensor while ps5 was in rest mode added a ps4 sensor that white thing but while i pluged the battery got a orange light blink later when i put the cover and everything together still the orange light blinked when i pressed the ps button later found out ps4 sensor are different so that might be the issue so restored back old sensor still facing the orange light issue. Tried resetting by pin from back of the controller still just gives orange light any idea whats wrong
Ps4 stick and ps5 stick are the same in controller board … that could not cause a problem. Maybe other sockets are not properly fixed on the controller board.
@@DIYVidss thanks for the reply
@rajasnawar8545 do you fix your problem?
Where I can find like your tools
From amazon or ali express 😀😀
I opend it took out both "discs" and replaced them with those from old dualshock 4.
Yea … it works 👍🏻
Ok so I did all of this and my right analog stick instead of drifting to the left now it just goes straight up and doesn’t stop, I can move sideways but not up and down at all it just goes up 😩😭 someone help me please
Change it again… unfortunately most sticks in shops are not work properly 😕
Change it again… unfortunately most sticks in shops are not work properly 😕
Did you ever figure out the problem because I’m currently having this problem as well, and I need a solution
Perfect job
Solder wick will make this even easier.
I don't own a PS5 since I'm a Xbox player but opening a PS5 controller looks way more harder than opening a Xbox controller. This is why I prefer to not have a built in battery pack over either the choice of batteries or a interchangeable battery pack.
Appreciate 🌟👍🏻
So it tears down like a Dual Shock 3?? Nice.
no youre wrong
That looks WAY more complex than DS3.
My potentiometer is damaged, i cleaned it and it was a pretty good temporary fix. But i think ill order a solder tool and more potentiometers and joysticks. Soldering seems like a usefull skill to have.
Yes exactly… 👍🏻🌟
The no flux is crazy 😳😳
Thanks for attention 🌟🌸
thanks champ
My stick gets physically stuck.. (pause) is this a fix for that?😂 for real tho?
Damn I thought he was a werewolf 😅😅
Thanks
Welcome🌸🌟
good video 👍 😁😊 🇩🇴
Thanks for participating ❤️🌸
Nice video
Thanks❤️🌟
This required much patience that i dont have...so nah...if i have my ds5 broken,then i just send it for the guy who know how to fix it or i just buy the new one😂
Thanks for participating 🌟❤️😁
We should never need to fix this. It's Sony that needs to fix it. Few of us aren't tech minded. Need to fork out for at least £35 to get it fix but aren't garrenteed either . I'm n uk
Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👌🏻
Worst de soldering I ever seen😂
Thanks for your comment 😁❤️
no offence intended bro you do "anyway" ;)@@DIYVidss
Might as well buy a new one paying almost $20 and paying someone to do it 😂
pls buy soldering iron and flux paste😂😂
Thanks for your advice 😁🌟
Bă să fiu sincer nu te-as lasă să îmi lucri tu ești în stare să rupi toate
Nope, I’m not going to do that, I don’t trust myself to not screw it up. Going to just buy a new controller whenever I get stick drift.
Whats to lose if u going to buy a new controller anyway
Thanks for your attention 🌟❤️
Im just gonna buy a new pad. 😅
👍🏻😁
Sony did this on purpose. They need to make money. After 4 months of use i have the same issue. Bad designed shit
Bro this one not original
Legit solution, horrible execution. If you do that you will definitely destroy one of the vias. The correct method would be either leave the green part on and just change the moving parts, or use solder wick or a solder sucker to remove the solder, in that way the pcb will not be damaged.
Yes exactly 👍🏻🌟
Incredible this s**t from sony...50% of dualsense or more with drift...i have 5 dualsense and 4 of them are with this problem
Yes… most ps5 controllers have this problem and it causes after less than 6 months usage…
Good fucking lord the piece is hard to get to… if you don’t have the soldering tool, it is practically cheaper to buy a new controller 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼
Thanks for your advice 🌟🌸
I sucked my controller after watching this video
Why😂😂
I am unable to assemble 🙂 properly
I fix them
I change all, this isn't works. 😂😂😂😂
Why don't you just invest in a sucker instead of using a sim card release key. Smh
I just have a Soldering iron 😁😁
It was quicker to buy new one
Precisely 😁👍🏻
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your attention 🌸🌟❤️
Peggio di così si muore. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
WD40, fixed dont need to do all this.
Nah... I prefer to pay 60 quid
With my friends, 4 controllers, over 1000 hours/years of play, and.....0 drift.
👍🏻😁😁
😊😍😊😍

Dont fix it.
Buy the nacon revolution pro.
Hall effect sticks Garantie never ever stick drift.
Biggest shit on planet is called dual sense
🤬😡ps5
The Japanese game controllers fall apart in a couple of months. xbox controllers last from generation to generation
Yes exactly… ps5 controllers broken down after a few months 😕😕 specially their sticks.
amator
There was an old controller where the manufacturers use MAGNETIC.. And not this one. Which is good. And i think that is unreplesable too cause it those not drift or broke that easily.. And it last for very long long time.. -(not Sure how long) 😊
😡 Just my opinion, but Sony PS5's are a beautiful, elegant, cleverly made piece of engineered crap!
I understand it's the world of electronics, but this should be a thing of the past for a company as gifted as Sony. If I ever went to a Sony launch again, I'd be the old larrikin up the back & give them shit for this. Typical Sony, still choosing 2c analogues over 6c parts off the factory line without the tests no doubt??? No doubt for ridiculous reasons that don't reflect well on their next gen, 20th version 😅 of their so-called best gaming console ever made. Always a brand war with Sony & price pointing their finger to all the others for doing it, instead of coming out in front 🫣
Anyways 😂 can I say though, this was a great video. Easy to follow without the chat.
I gave my son's a good clean out, hardly anything the cotton tips after cleaning 🙄
Soldering... well my eyes aren't what they used to be, so I'll save myself the bother & send it away to an experienced repairer. Hopefully, it's by someone like you, thank you 🫡
Damn.. next time I will buy duals. edge... freakin drifts...
Thanks for your attention 👍🏻🌟
God… just use desolder pump… Why pick holes with a stick and still post it as an instruction manual. And use Hall effect sticks, analogue is a bygone age.
I have never seen such illiterate soldering in my life
