Description

Set of 4 pcs potentiometer resistors for PS5 controller repair. These are replacement part for PS5 official controllers that have the GREEN or LIGHT BLUE potentiometers only.

Be aware that some of the early PS5 controllers might have the yellow potentiometers from factory,  these are NOT compatible.

We ship from Sydney, orders placed before 3pm weekdays will get the same day dispatch. Free Australia Post domestic letter or paid express shipping available.

The potentiometer within a PS5 DualSense controller serves as a crucial component for translating the physical movement of the analog sticks and triggers into precise digital signals. Essentially, it’s a variable resistor that changes its electrical resistance proportionally to the rotation or linear movement applied to it.

In the context of the analog sticks, a pair of potentiometers, one for each axis (X and Y), are employed. As the player moves the stick, the wiper, a conductive element connected to the stick’s shaft, slides along a resistive track. This movement alters the ratio of resistance, which in turn affects the voltage flowing through the circuit. The controller’s internal circuitry then interprets these voltage changes, translating them into the precise positional data that dictates the in-game character’s movement or camera angle.

The accuracy and durability of these potentiometers are paramount for a responsive and reliable gaming experience. Over time, wear and tear on the resistive track or wiper can lead to issues like “stick drift,” where the controller registers movement even when the stick is at rest.

Repair of the PS5 controller drift issue usually involves de-soldering the relevant potentiometer and replacing it. Most of the time, there is no need to replace the whole joystick mechanism. 

We also offer PS5 controller repair service for customers who are not confident with soldering work. Simply post your faulty controllers to us, we will have them repaired within 1-2 days of time.
