About this item

  • [ALPS 2.1KΩ Potentiometer] – The OEM trim pot resistor was made by ALPS. It fits ALPS analog joysticks. This trimmer potentiometer works with PS5 DualSense and some PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 wireless controllers with 2.1K ohm ALPS thumbstick module inside
  • [Compatibility] – ALPS sensors come in two different resistance values. Make sure the value is around 2.1K before ordering. Never judge its value by its color. (Be noticed: Choose 10KΩ version for most PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Elite Series 1 and 2, Xbox Series S|X and Switch Pro controllers. ALPS version is not interchangeable with the orange version made by FU.)
  • [Additional Drift Fix PCB] – Several factors cause joystick drifting a common issue. Even new joysticks can drift. The potentiometer was born without precision. Wear to the carbon film, spring fatigue and material stretching made it not centered. Dust, moisture and drop make it worse. We packed PCB to fix the problem of drifting in one direction. Simply adjust the variable resistor to eliminate the drifting
  • [For most joystick problem] – The potentiometer sensor needs to be replaced when the controller has the problem of creeping, stuttering, a blind spot, a dead spot, a dead zone, or it wouldn't center after years of wear and tear. De-soldering the unit with only 3Pins will be a lot easier than replacing the entire joystick with as many as 14 prongs
  • [Reminder of Replacement] – Use a pair of pliers to separate the problem sensor off the joystick module. Try to replace the wiper first, see if it works. De-solder the sensor off the PCB. A metal pick helps to clear the holes. Soldering the new unit in is a breeze. Remember to calibrate the new control sticks in settings


ALPS 2.1K Potentiometer
8x OEM trim pot resistor was made by ALPS. It fits ALPS analog joysticks. This trimmer potentiometer works with PS5 DualSense and some PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 wireless controllers with 2.1K ohm ALPS thumbstick module inside
1. Solve most of joystick problems:
80% chances of joystick problems were caused by the potentiometer. In another words, the rotary mechanism and the tactile switches are not the problem. You can simply replace the side potentiometer sensor alone to solve most of the problems
2. Additional resistors included:
Complicated moving mechanism and daily wear and tear can cause drifting, and even new potentiometers can not be 100% balanced. Calibrating in controller settings might not work. Please solder one or more paralleled resistors at the opposite direction against drifting
Compatibility Notes:
1.ALPS version is not interchangeable with the orange version made by Favor Union
2.ALPS potentiometers come in two different resistance values. Never judge its value by its color. Make sure the resistance value is 2.1K ohm before ordering
3.Please choose 10K ohm for most PS3, PS4 DualShock 4, Xbox One, Elite Series 1 and 2, Xbox Series S|X and Switch Pro controllers

These potentiometers fixed the really terrible stick drift I had with my PS5 controller on the left side. The stick would drift all the way to the left and would stay stuck going that one direction. Even when trying to move to the right side, it would again continue to the left. I do have to say that simply bending the potentiometer ( the green square plastic piece) and replacing it with the new contact wiper won't effectively fix your stick drift. Most of the time it's the black circular material that makes contact with the metal wipers that gets worn down and not the wipers. So you still have to desolder the pots from the PCB and solder in the new ones if you truly want the best fix possible. I would suggest watching a video tutorial and practicing a bit before attempting the job. The pot adjusters flex cables that came with my order are for centering your pot if it's really off center and are soldered on the back of the PCB where your solder your 3 posts to. Usually these are not required at least in the ones I've replaced. Just know that stick drift is inevitable on all analog sticks and sooner or later you're going to have to replace with this method or bite the bullet and buy a new controller. Just FYI make sure you buy the right ohms resistance for your controller otherwise it may be to sensitive or sluggish. Cheers.

Used the parts to fix my PS5 controller that came with the console. Worked perfect. No stick drift.

Purchased this pack for the little white sensors that come with it to replace a broken sensor in my ps5 controller to fix some stick drift. (In case anyone doesn’t know, you can simply bend the green part back and pull the sensor out. Doesn’t require soldering)Some of the reviews on here made me a bit hesitant to buy, as people stated that some arrived as duds. However the first one I picked at random worked fine and the controller no longer has drift. It’s a standard ps5 controller and sensors look identical to the original ones.If your controller is no longer under warranty and you have stick drift I would recommend this product. It’s a pretty easy fix, just follow a YouTube video.

they were the right ones that took the place of the old ones however it didn’t fix the issue, guess i should’ve figured it was still a gamble. i noticed it helped a tiny amount with my stick drift issues but still unfortunately my controller drifts.

These did not fix my issue with stick drift, however they did reduce the amount of stick drift.

So far so good, I have fixed the stick drift on two of my controllers, and they are working great. Took me about 20 mins, but I am an experienced mechanic, so perhaps give yourself 40 minutes if you have zero mechanical or handy skills. I do mean it when I say ANYBODY could fix their ps5 controller with this product. Just watch YouTube, have a plastic pick tool to assist with opening the controller and a small magnetic head Philips screwdriver. And if you do mess it up, what are you really out? I'll have to post a review after a few months, but I really am glad I went this route and not a new controller.

My controller had been working for about 8 months without drift from purchase and this replacement has been working for 3 months already. With 7 more replacements in this set (should I need it), it's a great price for a useful product. I definitely recommend it.Just to be clear, I did not do a full replacement of the original part with this part. I only used a small sensor that's part of the component and that's all that was needed. You could spend a lot of time de-soldering and soldering on this new part, or you could just replace the sensor that's inside. That's all you really need to do if you're having joystick drift issues.If you're having sensitivity issues or if the part is malfunctioning, then you may need to solder the new part on. But if you're just having the typical controller issues, replacing just that sensor worked. There are walkthroughs to help you with this and I'd recommend giving them a try and using these parts.
