There's actually no brand names on Polish sites, there's similar site to Amazon on Polish side of the internets or Walmart+.
Edge is a tad bit to expensive for me here. Although I would love to try a PRO pad. I've been using tactical bumper jumper controls so jumping while shooting and aiming or crouching is no problem. But I'm more curious about short click on triggers but I won't drop $200 just for that or to be more accurate $325 since that how much is mrsp in Poland...
I actually held off buying the Edge as I had a couple of Scuf Reflex Pro's, which had far longer battery life and 4 paddles. But the Edge is the best pro controller I've ever used, despite its flaws. I was very surprised at how much I loved it. I got two of the replacement modules in a cheap PSN store deal, but never needed to replace so far. I ended up buying a second one, just to have in rotation from a charge perspective. Use the KontrolFreek Alpha CQCx for left and CQC Rush for right. Bliss.
I'm curious about this controller but not that curious to drop $325 here on it.
The Edge is one of those experiences that doesn't make sense on paper, hence why I held off getting one, but once tried physically, you'll suddenly really love it. Its got brilliant OS implementation and having trigger stops means you can effectively turn on and off adaptive triggers on the fly. There's so many little touches like that, which make it great. But as you say, its not cheap.
Same here with the launch DualSense. Can't say I even had problems with my launch PS5 either, works like a swiss watch to this very day.
True stOry here. Dis happened me too. I also found an axe in my ps5 that I waited for 12 months. Also a bird nest plus a cat.
It's the Sony tax. We see you are a returning customer. Now go and squeal for us like a pig.
I don't know if anyone noticed but the replacement module/sticks are no longer available anywhere. It's possible Sony blocked them because they are releasing their own. Maybe soon.
It's really nice. The build quality is great. Have you upgraded the battery? I have one on the way.
That's good info. I had an idea of what I was getting into with replacing the thumbsticks. I'll have to look locally to see if it could be done for 30/40 bucks.Hall Effect Joysticks - What Is It And Why Does It Matter
Since the components in a Hall Effect joystick never physically touch, the sensors do not wear out like they do on analog joysticks. This means that in theory, Hall Effect joysticks never develop drift in their lifetime. In other words, magnets, how do they work.
Yeah.
There's actually no brand names on Polish sites, there's similar site to Amazon on Polish side of the internets or Walmart+.
They list PS5 hall effect sticks as "PS5 HALLA ANALOG"
Under brands there's only: different (WeLoveGames) or (Infinity)
There's EAN code of 5903981915811 listed on some of these.
I suspect these are GuliKit modules - since it's patented. It just gets exported from China under no-name brands. But dunno, they look a bit different.
Pics of the ones that are available:
You have to solder them in, no easy process.
Might wanna try to search them on AliExpress, if Amazon or Walmart+ or whatever site abroad won't have those.
So I will be paying a few "bucks" more in unlicensed shop to put them in. There's one in Poznań with a lot of positive feedback - and they do have a stock of them on hand- since I briefly chatted with them. They already put them in for some of the customers and no issues so far but they are available for a few months(around 6 months here, I think).
2 hall effect stick modules cost like $15. So that's the cost of parts. Another $15 to put them in that would be the cost of the service.
So let's say $30 bucks per controller and you apparently won't get any drift. No customer has had warranty calls or anything, so far so good I think. They do give their own warranty so you can RMA it if so.
They just put your controller serial number into their database. It helps them track stuff and I suppose it's a way to protect themselves from any scams.
I suppose if you are a bit techy and have a soldering station, heat gun and desoldering pump/tool (but electrical not manual) you could do it yourself. I tried it myself back in the day on DualShock 4 and with two types of soldering irons and didn't quite worked that well.
I had one soldering iron from the 80s, the old type power supply thingie.
And newer, they ones you use in soldering stations.
But I did not have a soldering station in which you can set temperature in so there's that.
And even if I managed to heat the solder in the soldering point my desoldering manual pump was too weak to remove the solder. Then I have read that actually some hi-end soldering stations have electrical desoldering tool- and I just gave up. It's not that expensive to sit at it for hours with shitty equipment or buy quality stuff just for one or two controllers.
If someone already has those that's a different matter altogether.
Or there aren't any shops which do this kind of thing in your area.
I honestly think any tech repair guy would replace those, RTV/AGD or HiFi tech could do this too- if you provide the parts. So I would search this way for someone also. Not only by "controller repair shops".
Edit: yup they are there:
It's curious to see that Xbox Series has a bit different hall effect joysticks, huh.
There's even a different one for DualShock 4...
No, I looked into it and there is one you can get from AliExpress, but there are mixed reports on if its any good or not and some saying it doesn't fit very well. Where as the ones I used for Scuf Reflex Pro's, were German with great reviews and no fitment issues. I'll be honest I dont really need one anymore as I have two Edges, with one always fully charged sat in a charging dock within hands reach. But it would be great to know how you get on with yours.
So your kids abused your gaming hardware and that is somehow Sony's fault?
Gulikit makes Hall effect modules for Steam Deck and for Switch. I think I saw some vids about people putting them in, I think there weren't any issues and deadzone I think was slightly better too. The guy was putting headshots like crazy testing it and talking- there wasn't any talk about problems with close movements.
That's the same I do with my regular DualSenses. I picked up unopened box of Razer black charging station for PS5 for like $25 or so from a private seller, I have regular plastic stand for the other one.
The regular DualSense have proven battery upgrades though. There's basically like one that exists for the Edge because it's a smaller form factor. It's also much easier to open the regular DualSense and you can do a back button mod while you have it open.
Playing games with the controllers is not abusing the controllers.
Do you remember what brand were those "German batteries" you used in Scuf? I may mod my regular DualSenses in the near future so it would be a good kind of info- I still rotate them so no pressure here but it would be good to know anyways.
PAXO. Comes with a fitting kit. 2600mah. Good luck.
It has to do with manufacturer QC of stick modules I suspect. Sony and MS order them in Alps. Then the controllers just got put together on a factory line from those parts.I have 2 PS2, 2 PS3 and 4 PS4 controller. All of them are still working without problem.
But, I've 4 PS5 controller and every single one of them got stick drift after 4-5 months. Each of them was repaired at least twice before their warranty expired. I had them repaired once for a fee after the warranty expired. Now two of them have the same stick drift problem again.
No, their internal batteries suck, and that’s how they make money, keep buying controllers and accessories and bs.
I've I own 6 and I've had drift issues with 4 of them. I own 8 PS4 controllers and never had any problems with them.
The controller is awful. Cramps your hands . id rather they just go back to regualr back buttond ps2 controller
I'm thinking it has to be a supplier or manufacturing issue, xbox one, ps4, wiiu and earlier, never experienced drift on mass, switch,ps5, xbox,mercy all three have been terrible,
