Ive cleaned my controller using contact cleaner and it didn't work at first but cleaning the grphite off with the contwct cleaner on a swab on the areas of potentiometer contacts worked wonders... been 4 months drift free
Appreciate the video, got 2 controller and after years of using it was a bit drifting.. I stop and play the whole process cause was my first time, and man, after it worked much better, hope it will last for more years now!
I wish there was at least some sort of minor voiceover for the repair part. Not all of it needed to be sped up as it was almost entirely fine adjustments and made it impossible to see what was being done. Bravo to you both for sticking through it and fixing this thing.
I love my rechargable air cannon. Best thing I have bought in many years. It's paid for itself three fold. Would highly recommend for anyone that actually cleans there electronics
Really? I see various youtubers use those types of electric air blowers and say "Man this thing is great I use it all the time! Totally not sponsored! I will link in the description!"... and it's always an affiliate link. And then, without fail, you will see them still using canned air to clean stuff in future videos. They just don't have the pressure/flow rate of canned air does.
Wow! What a curveball with that stick drift. I think those pro controllers are better than the joycons when it comes to stick drift, but at least it can be fixed with the right skills.
The Power A controller I have was way worse than that. The right stick spun the camera wildly and constantly when I was playing through Astral Chain. I used to have a video of it but that was four years ago now. Even sent it to them on Twitter. They offered to replace the controller but I know how to do all the cleaning and soldering. Just wanted to share the vid them for quality control. The controller was the orange black Metroid controller for the Switch.
Knock on wood, I haven't gotten stick drift with any joy cons/pro controllers yet. I love my pro controllers most, but what starts wearing for me is the joystick shaft itself where to rubs on inside of the circular hole in the shell. (...that was close to sounding dirty)
Yesterday I soldered on a Hall effect left stick on my launch day pro controller. It worked perfectly for 2 hours then suddenly was worse than before the repair. So disappointing, but it was fun to try
Actually in my opinion if the drift is bad where it’s unplayable, you basically have a broken controller. So breaking even more doesn’t even seem bad. The steps you got to be careful is the wire connecting them when you first open it. The rest is easy just make sure you keep track of screws and where they go.
i wonder if it’s possible to jst take it from the screws off remove the sticks and clean them if it would work n stop the drift rather than taking the whole thing apart i’m scared to completely take it apart 😞😭
I have a couple of xbox 1s comtrollers, I needs the stick fixed the other pribably needs the buttons cleaned hiw can i get them fixed, i took the one apart to use tbe bw-100 didnt help.Dont know how else to contact you.I' ve watched your videos. You do great work.
I needed details when your friend stepped in & fix the stick but there wasn't any he said to help with what I needed to learn. instead you time lapsed that part with music leaving out that crucial information , what a total bummer watching this whole video till the end
Oh man I am sorry. My usual vibe has a lot more focus on cleaning than repair, hence bringing Steve from TronicsFix in for that. I hear what you are saying though, and I will try to do better in the future at explaining things like this.
The pro controller is definitely better than the joy cons. When it was my main I never had drift. Still no drift in the joy cons either. My wired Power A controllers always had drift and really bad. I started typing this before the vid actually started and was going to mention BW100😂 I’ve used it once for drift and nearly a year later the drift hasn’t returned. But the best thing you can do is buy a controller with Hall Effect sticks like the Gulikit King Kong Pro 1, 2, or now 3.
@@austindolan7182 it took a few hours more of gameplay for me, so I would say it slows down the pain of gaming. I play Genshin Impact mostly on my phone with the Gulitkit King Kong Pro 2, six hours so far today no real pain to speak of. Only stopped because the battery was about to die.
There must be so many broken/drifting controllers just sitting around. If you don’t have this level of skill you really have no choice but to buy a new one as it would be so costly to get it fixed by a professional. Maybe in the future the components will be made more modular to make replacing easier. But I guess that’s not in the best interest of companies that make more money from just selling more controllers.😢
You are doing it all wrong, what other restoration videos have told me is you throw everything in to water and then spray paint it to make it look new then magic it works after you hit it onces with a hammer and set it on fire .

That was an extra-long water swirl! My favorite part of any video 😂
These videos are becoming more and more satisfying to watch as time goes on, good work 👍loved the little steve collab
Thanks!

I followed along and fixed the drift on my controller! Thank you 🙏🙏

Yeah I think you are right. Good advice I’ll keep in mind for future videos.
I really appreciate how you put this together! Especially the reassembling section! Bravo!

BW-100 will fix most drift and button issues with minimal to no disassembly.
Another great video!

@@BowsettesFury I’ve got a Power A wireless (a Super Mario blue one) and so far it’s been pretty good. It makes me wonder if it will happen or not.

Awesome video guy and I recognize that controller!
Thanks, friend!

What Screws did they use? They got grinded off so easily.
I wanted to watch this in hopes to help me fix the weird drift on my right analog on the Pro, but it just made me more scared
What do you have to lose. Assuming all you break is the joystick, it can probably be replaced cheaply. Probably.
Actually in my opinion if the drift is bad where it’s unplayable, you basically have a broken controller. So breaking even more doesn’t even seem bad. The steps you got to be careful is the wire connecting them when you first open it. The rest is easy just make sure you keep track of screws and where they go.

If you clean the thumbsticks with soapy water, Does the rubber on them gets sticky?

which part of the controller is the gyroscope
1:58 what is the small blue thing you used here?
Spudger a wedge tool to seperate plastic parts and other similar things

do the pro controllers prevent your thumb from hurting when you play mario kart for extended periods?

... And, if we here don't have the B-100?
You forgot to put Steve's skill in slow motion.
lol that would have made a way better video!
@@RestorishOfficial for me , it was crucial to learn that part. I got nothing from this video
my controllers stick on the calibrate screen is halfway to the left without touching it
Steve got you a hair dryer?
I want a switch lite so bad even though you cant use those, all I want is to play animal crossing and zelda on a switch lite and my dreams come true 😂
No wonder its got drift its filthy 😂
So much dirty xD
Ps5 stick drift
Please
I'm tired of buying 🎮

Lol
and he didn't go searching in trash piles for the most disgusting looking yet still usuable controller.
