  • In this video I take apart the Dualsense EDGE thumbstick modules to see if the analog stick are upgraded at all - or are the the same as a standard Dualsense controller? Will stick drift be a continuous problem? Let's find out!

    To me it's worth it. Even if I just want to repair it myself, by far makes it easy. Not needing to disassemble the entire controller to replace a stick module is a win for me. That and the fact that it has two back paddles.

    • @timkusan4370
      @timkusan4370 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It's definitely practical. These sticks are prone to failure. The DualSense is a repairability nightmare compared to the Dualshock 4, and this just makes it all so much cheaper and easier.
      Sure you can buy 2 stick modules for 40 bucks versus 70 on another Dualsense, but then if you have even basic knowledge in soldering and have the equipment to, those individual modules means buying a pack of 6 replacements POT's from ALPS directly for around 25 bucks TOTAL, and desoldering the bad POT's and putting in new ones make these modules absolutely perfect on the wallet compared to it's predecessor, and THAT is the main reason it's a 200 dollar controller. It pays for itself and then some soon enough.

    • @Zakalwe-01
      @Zakalwe-01 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hall sensors in the triggers (Sony kept that quiet), and Gulikit are developing Hall sensor sticks for the Edge. Also, you can easily switch the existing sticks between each other is drift becomes an issue. I think the high price will work out less in the medium to long term.

    Thumb stick will have natural drift as they are electrical mechanical component and cannot resist wear and tear. The more the electrical component rubs on the mechanical components the more wear is increased. This is not a design flaw but just a naturally occurring issue with the components used. A full digital option would be great but the industry has not yet moved away from electrical mechanical means of XYZ data capture.
    The option for replaceable sticks is the only logical way to combat this issue. Now why only available across pro lvl controls when this should be industry standard everywhere sounds like a money grab to me. But that’s business….
