$50 · PlayStation 5 Controller Stick Drift Repair & Upgrade

If you own a PS5 Dualsense controller or the much more expensive Dualsense Edge controller, then it’s only a matter of time before your two joystick controls start drifting off centre and jittering in random directions, rendering your controller unusable for gaming. Typical replacement Dualsense controllers cost $95.99 new or if you own the $269.99 Dualsense Edge controller, each one of its interchangeable joystick modules typically cost $25.99 each to replace, providing you can find them at that price. Edge joystick modules have gone out of stock when Sony has occasionally paused production of them. In those periods, scalpers could be found charging up to $75 per module for units hoarded when stock was available. Waiting for availability at the sticker price in such a situation will mean your deluxe controller is unusable in the meantime unless you’ve bought a spare module ahead of time. As a better alternative, I provide repair and upgrading services for PlayStation 5 Dualsense joysticks and Dualsense Edge controller joystick modules. For a straight fixed cost ($50 for both sticks) I will extract the stock Sony joysticks from either your Dualsense controller or Edge stick modules, then install TMR (Tunnelling Magneto Resonance) GuliKit branded joysticks (the best and most expensive of the available TMR sticks) and finally I will calibrate the new joysticks to specs superior to the original ones. Note that although the Dualsense Edge’s stick modules cannot write new calibration data by Sony’s design, I will install a custom hardware modification to each stick module to enable recalibration and writing to module firmware of the replacement joystick’s new calibration data. Both the upgraded Dualsense controller and upgraded Edge joystick modules will never develop stick drift and are more accurate and responsive than the cheap potentiometer based joysticks provided by Sony in all its controller products. In other words, the service I provide will put a stop to Sony’s apparent planned obsolescence of your controller. The $50 covers parts (top rated GuliKit TMR joysticks) and my shop time. In a standard Dualsense this upgrade will give you joysticks that last indefinitely, meaning you won’t need to replace them (or the controller) every six months to two years depending on how intense your playing style is. In a Dualsense Edge, the upgrade service I provide will confer stick drift immunity to the two installed joystick modules which means that you won’t have to keep replacing these stick modules for $25.99 apiece whenever one of them develops stick drift. If you are thinking of doing this job by yourself, there’s plenty of information online if you want to DIY the upgrade process I offer, but be aware that it requires good electronics repair equipment, solid soldering skills and steady nerves to avoid accidentally damaging your controller while dismantling, desoldering, resoldering, and reassembling it. Alternatively, I guarantee a reliable and quick 2 day turnaround with professional results that I stand behind as the holder of two electrical engineering degrees. Your satisfaction is guaranteed and I will address any issues you might have after the upgraded controller goes home with you. While I am based out of Victoria (near Shelbourne and Hillside) I am open to mail-in orders from anywhere in Canada if postage is handled by the customer. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Thanks!
