Repairing Stick Drift With TMR/Hall Effect – PS5 DualSense Controller
Repairing Stick Drift With TMR/Hall Effect – PS5 DualSense Controller
Are you struggling with your PS5 controller's joystick moving on its own? We can fix it!
Joystick drift is a common issue with PlayStation 5 DualSense controllers, where characters or the camera move without you touching the stick. This is due to wear and tear on the internal components, but fortunately, it can be repaired!
What are Hall Effect and TMR joysticks?
Standard joysticks use mechanical wear surfaces that can lead to joystick drift over time.
-Hall Effect joysticks are highly reliable and virtually eliminate the risk of drift. They provide smooth, precise control and remain stable for many years – perfect for both casual gaming and longer sessions.
-TMR joysticks (Tunnel MagnetoResistance) are a newer and more advanced technology. They provide even more accurate readings, especially with small movements, and a more responsive and precise feel. This makes them well-suited for competitive gaming and players who want maximum control.
What's included in the service?
– Diagnosis of existing stick drift
– Full disassembly of the controller
– Desoldering and removal of the original stick module
– Installation of new Hall-Effect/TMR joystick modules

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
-What is stick drift?
Stick drift occurs when your controller registers movement on the analog stick even when you're not touching it. This can cause the camera or character to move on its own in games.
-What is K-SILVER J13 PRO TMR?
K-SILVER J13 PRO TMR is a modern joystick technology that uses magnetic sensors instead of traditional potentiometers. This provides higher precision, better durability, and significantly reduced risk of future stick drift.
-Is TMR better than original DualSense sticks?
Yes. TMR sticks have fewer wear parts and are far more resistant to wear and tear than the original joysticks that Sony uses in DualSense controllers.
-Do you replace one or both joysticks?
You can choose to have one or both joysticks replaced. Many people choose to replace both at the same time for a consistent feel and maximum lifespan.
-Do the joysticks need to be calibrated after replacement?
Yes. We calibrate the joysticks after installation to ensure a correct center point, high precision, and optimal performance.
-Do all games work normally after the upgrade?
Yes. The controller functions like a regular DualSense controller and is fully compatible with all PS5 games and features.
-Will I lose data or settings?
No. The repair does not affect user settings, profiles, or other data.
-How long does the repair take?
Standard processing time is 1–3 business days after we receive the controller.
-What do I need to send in?
Only the controller itself. Cables, charging station, and other accessories are normally not necessary.
-Does the repair have a warranty?
Yes, we provide a 6-month warranty on the work performed and the components installed.
Important Information
Important Information
The reason special controllers (Scuf Reflex, Edge, etc.) cost more is because there is a lot more work involved. The Scuf Reflex has many more solder points and fragile flex cables. For the DualSense Edge, you have to solder on an extra wire to bypass the software lock, allowing it to be calibrated.
The "Both Joysticks" option applies to both joysticks on the same controller.

Tipp topp service, veldg kjapt, enkelt og pengebesparende! Anbefales, og vi kommer definitivt til å bruke TinkerMods igjen om det blir behov for det :)
Veldig fornøyd! Bedre enn en ny kontroller vil jeg si.
Alt gikk som smurt, kontrolleren ble reparert.
5/5
Sendte inn kontrolleren,virker som at de reparerte den samme dagen de fikk den. Kom i retur 2 dager senere. Resultatet ble veldig bra. Kommer til å sende inn kontroller nr2 som har fått stickdrift. Er billigere å reparere enn å kjøpe ny,som kommer til å få stickdrift etter noen år med bruk.
