ElecGear Replacement Joystick and Drift Fix PCB for Controllers, Analog Stick Controller Sensor Thumbsticks for PS5, PS4, Xbox, Xbox Elite, Switch Pro and more by ALPS and FU, Models from EL1 to EL7

Bought these to replace the worn-out sticks on my Victrix Gambit. Fits great, works great. Doesn't break the bank and a fun way to pass the time for those who enjoy tinkering.

One of 4 the joysticks was drifting out of the box.

I bought these to replace one for a PS4 controller. I read some reviews where people said that it didn’t fit, so I made sure that they had the orange sensors on the side of them, ( that is what color the original had) and it fit perfectly. I soldered it to the controller board and it works perfectly! I read where people were having issues with drifting, but I am not having those issues. I recommend when doing this using a good quality soldering station that has good temperature control and good quality Solder with rosin core, makes the job easier. I used the higher heat setting to melt the solder as quickly as possible, instead of lower heat and holding against the pins for longer period of time that can cause damage to sensors ( I believe this why people were having issues). Watch a couple of Soldering techniques on YouTube, it helps. Good Luck!

Can confirm that these definately do work with xbox one s controllers making it a viable replacement for the trash ALPS drifting potentiometer assemblies that come in them.

They include some resistors in the package to "fix drift" that may exist right out the gate, immediate red flag. I repair consoles and controllers etc. And this is a sorry excuse for a bad product. This is only brand that I've bought that has had drift brand new. I've had some sticks doa from other brands and tried these out because they seem higher quality, but no, absolute trash. Every single one of the 4 pack was drifting and their "fix" for it is those pain in the ass microscopic resistors. What a joke.

Works as intended.

Used these to fix a controller that had very messed up thumb sticks. The buttons didn’t click on the old sticks so decided it was cheaper to put in new ones. As soon as I got these put on I noticed they didn’t sit flush on the PCB but there was enough down to solder on. As soon as I got them on and everything back together I tested them they wouldn’t spring back to center like they are supposed to which I just chalked up to the didn’t sit flush on the PCB but when I put them back to center manually I noticed there was significant drift on the sticks to where it made my controller unusable all together. Not bad price to try and fix the controller yourself and maybe I just got a bad batch of sticks but was a waste of time for me to use them. I wouldn’t recommend highly

This review is regarding the orange PS4 joysticks. Out of the 4 sticks that I received, ALL of them were defective. Two of them right out of the gate had ZERO dead-zone, so accidental input was unavoidable, the third stick was fine for about 2 weeks then it started to drift pretty badly. The forth stick had severe drifting right out of the box. These are absolute garbage, DO NOT BUY. It takes about 45-60 minutes to install these using a heat gun, so i was pretty pissed when none of the 4 sticks worked. FIND A BETTER MANUFACTURER
