RGEEK2Pack Hall Effect 3D Analog Stick Joystick Replacement for PS5 Controller

Ok, so these replacement RGEEK PS5 hall effect analog sticks appear to be Ginfull V2 hall effect joysticks. You can see the "G" on the outer orange cover. They are not the V6, which is the newest version (see photographs). The Ginfull Hall Effect joysticks are reported to be good replacements for your analog sticks. They aren't perfect, but they are a considerable upgrade to standard ALPS sticks. These things are game-changers (literally) vs. the sticks that come in the PS5. My old controller drove me nuts with joystick drift, so I disassembled them. I cleaned the contacts with BW-100, but the fixes were only temporary. But then I found these bad boys, and let me tell you, they do not disappoint.First, the installation is tricky, even for someone like me who has soldered before. I watched a ton of YouTube tutorials (iFixit), grabbed my soldering Iron (Pinecil), and got to work. There are 14 soldering points for each replacement. That's 28 total solders, so I would recommend flux, solder wick, and a solder sucker if you want less frustration. A solid 45 minutes later, I had the controller put back together. My controller was as good as new with these Hall Effect sticks. The response and feel are seriously upgraded, and I know I won't have to deal with joystick drift again.If you're the kind of person who's up for DIY and loves a challenge, I recommend these RGEEK/Ginfull joysticks. They're a total game-changer and will save you money compared to buying a new controller or dealing with Sony's customer service. Just be ready to get your hands on a quality soldering kit, as the solder needs a high temperature to melt!Note: After replacement, the analog sticks will need to be calibrated. Tutorials for recalibrating these are available online.UPDATE: All is working well after installation. Getting used to the stick feel.

DO NOT BUY. It’s a LOT of work to replace the servos and they only lasted for 3 months of light use, roughly 20 hours of gameplay, now they stick and the “click button” is inoperable.

So far these things are great. Got one swapped in for my stick that had drift. Calibration out of the box is just about spot on, which is surprising as all the other ones I've seen need quite a bit of messing with.My one major complaint is the joystick tension. This one is noticeably lower than stock, I'd say irritating at most, though it would be less noticeable if you swapped both.Unrelated to the actual process, I'd warn the average user to be wary attempting this replacement. I'd consider myself a passable solderer, and as such the installation was no problem, but desoldering the existing joystick was a nightmare, and ended up taking multiple hours. I'm not sure how they made it so difficult, but would likely be much easier with a soldering gun.Overall, mostly great product, but quite the task.

Buddy of mine destroys controllers. He is a very avid gamer and heavy user. I decided to replace the sticks in his current controller as he was already experiencing drift. These are FAR better than the original sticks. He prefers that they seem a little softer on tension. The springback is not as severe so in fighting games it seems more reliable although I am a little concerned on what later life will look like to the sticks. However at least I know that drift is not an issue now.Install was relatively simple as I have been modding and repairing controllers for years. Use standard equipment solder wick, a good soldering station, and some flux and give yourself about 30-60 minutes and you should be okay. Nothing stuck out to me that would be particularly hard for a beginner but just take our time and remove all of the solder on the old stick to remove it and not tear out traces.

One works and the other is faulty. After installing I calibrated them. only one would go to center the other stayed at -1 and would not go to 0. I put them on another controller's board and the problem was the same with the same joycon. I am sure it is to late for me to return them.

These RGEEK 2Pack Hall Effect 3D Analog Stick Joystick Replacement for PS5 Controller seem to be decently constructed and have the 'G' on them Ginfull which is reportedly better than the stock PS5 ones. I am a novice solder user but thought I had successfully installed one of these after a few hours of work. However, the stick didn't work and I have no way of knowing whether the product failed or I failed due to my limited knowledge and skill of doing this. One thing I can say is I did use a different one and was successful.These can be difficult to install so be sure to watch some tutorials about the process and try to have everything you need ready to go. One thing I also learned is you most definitely want to replace both at the same otherwise you or your kids will complain about the difference in feel between the stock stick and these ones or any others. It is just better to do it all at once in my opinion. Also, don't forget to calibrate them. I can't say much beyond that since they didn't work for me but again may have been due to my lackluster solder skills. Overall, was still worth the try compared to getting a new PS5 controller.

I ordered this RGEEK 2Pack Hall Effect 3D Analog Stick Joystick Replacement for PS5 Controller for my son. After watching a few YouTube videos, my son was able to replace this in the PS5 controller himself. My son said it worked very well.

Had a stick that drifted, so bought these to replace the bad one. Got this swapped in but up and left don’t work. Ton of work just to not work, and I’m not wasting my time on the second one.
