for 3D PS5 Joysticks Replacement for Sony PlayStation 5 PS5 Controller Joystick Replacement for PS5 Analog Stick Replacement for PS5 Thumbsticks Module Controller Replace Accessories (4PCS)

One of our PS5 sticks started behaving wonky - the feel was off, and it would drift or register poorly. Rather than replace the whole controller I decided to try replacing the joystick units. This operation requires proficiency in delicate opening of the case and desoldering/soldering delicate electronics. Do not attempt this if your soldering skills aren't up to it. If in doubt, read the instructions on ifixit before proceeding. Be warned that there are at least two versions of the controller. There are instructions for both, and if you find yourself forcing or breaking anything then you may be looking at the wrong one.

Aside from some bent pins on arrival, that were easily straightened out, they work perfectly. As long as you have a de-soldiering station, and are handing with an iron, this is a cheap and quick solution to stick drift. Took me about an hour to replace both sticks on my PS5 controller, and most of that was just trying to get the damn thing apart.

I bought these by mistake thinking they were hall effect sticks. I was hesitant to continue with my project to fix my left stick drift, until I saw a YouTube video called "How to take apart your ps5 controller and fix Stick Drift" from a channel called Restore Technique. In the video, it shows that these sticks have these small circular discs on the x and y axis that could be the root cause of drifting, possibly due to a lubricant that was added that got mucky. The video showed how to carefully remove and clean the disc with alcohol, but instead I went ahead and swapped the discs from one of these to the one already soldered on, and everything seems to be working fine now with no soldering needed. I will repeat the step on my second dualsense hoping it also won't require soldering. The 4 star is due to the fact I had believed I was buying new parts but there were signs that this product had been recycled (some of the prongs that go into the motherboard were slightly bent and there was some slight scuffing) but it is a good value, assuming you are having the exact same issue.

One worked out of the whole pack still using it but the only one

These were pefect for my ps5 controller. Helped me fix the stick drift problem I had.
