Installing Hall Effect Sticks on a Dualshock 4 controller (wasn't easy)

  • In this video we will look replace the Alps analog stick with Hall effect sticks. Hall effect stick have within the last year or so become more popular as alternative to the regular Alps sticks since it uses little magnets inside the potentiometer instead of a mechanical piece. This should significantly reduce wear and possibly eliminate stick drift from ever happening. It also helps that calibration can be done on these sticks.
    So short term it is looking good, but what about long term? Can these hall effect lasts for years to come? That is why I wanted to install these sticks on one on my own controllers and use it on a regular basis to see if problems may occur or not.

    Man that was exactily what i was looking for but did not find it when i searched,nice video dude.

    the biggest challenge is desoldering, especially on double-layer PCBs. iirc, the Hakko FR-300 recommends at least 450°C for these boards. also double-layer PCBs have solder connections on both sides makes the desoldering process even more difficult

      Absolutely true - the unleaded solder that is used nowadays makes it even more difficult. On older controllers (PS2, original Xbox) it takes me maybe a minute to remove a analog stick.
      On these ones it takes easily 15 minutes.
      I have my iron around 335 C, which in combination with low melt solder is enough to remove the analog stick.

    Great video. Keep on with it. Interesting result, when i have changed to hall effect analogs it was so jittery on the game pad tester.

      Thanks for the kind words! Maybe you got an older version of these Halleffects. In the video I use a version 3 stick, I believe version 1 and 2 had problems with latency and/or jittery responses

As far as I know you should at least not be getting v1’s & v2’s, those have problems with lag/ jittering. Guess time will tell if v5’s are any better then v3’s.

    What temperature do you use to unsolder with air ,the stick?

    • @cr_tech2000
      @cr_tech2000  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Don’t remember exactly for this video, but on average I use a temperature between 355-390C, airflow speed 50-70% (but that is in combination with the use of low melt solder to remove the stick faster).

    You could have just put it all back together and used the Hall Effect Calibration app. No need for manually calibrating it.

    There are different hall effect but what is the best hall effect?

    • @cr_tech2000
      @cr_tech2000  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I honestly only have experience with these PS4 orange Hall effect analogs in the video, so I can’t tell you what the ‘best’ Hall effect is. The biggest difference as far as I know is in how you calibrate them (for the orange ones you need to do that by hand and for the blue ones you need software).

      Sounds like the analogs are shot honestly. Maybe try connect the controller to a PC and test it with gamepad tester.

    so you put metal in first and desolder it after?

    • @cr_tech2000
      @cr_tech2000  6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, in my experience is best to add some solder (especially on these boards with unleaded solder) before trying to desolder.
      I usually add leaded solder and low melt solder to lower the melting temperature to make it easy to desolder those analog sticks.

      Oof, that is some serious drift. Few questions: 1. are these Hall effects or normal sticks/ 2. Did you attempt any type of calibration?
      Also (if you worked on the sticks) make sure that your solder joints are clean so they make a good connection (bad connection can cause for the potentiometers to not register properly).
      Maybe check the connections from stick to board with a multimeter to ensure good connection/ confirm there are no toen traces.
      Hope that helps!

      No reballing required - you will only need to desolder the old analog stick and then resolder the new Hall effect stick

      I do not wish to do my hair with this hot air gun mate haha. It is a hot air gun - just a cheap one used at a relative low temperature (< 400C). A high quality hot air used at 450 C will indeed do a better job than I did.
