Replacement Joystick and Drift Fix PCB for PS5 Wireless Controller

The [EL7 FU 2.3K for PS5 Controller] is a 4x replacement analog joystick compatible with the PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller. The thumbstick module was manufactured by Favor Union (FU), and the stick controller comes equipped with 2.3KΩ trimmer potentiometers in an orange color.

PS5 controllers utilize two types of joysticks from different manufacturers. The EL7 was produced by Favor Union (FU), while the EL6 was supplied by ALPS. Despite their distinct origins, the 14 prongs on both models are positioned in the same manner, making them interchangeable.

Complicated moving mechanisms and daily wear and tear can ultimately lead to drifting issues. Even brand-new sensors may not be perfectly balanced, and calibrating the controller settings might not always resolve the problem. To address this, the product includes 10 correction resistors that can be soldered onto the potentiometer in a parallel configuration, effectively counteracting drifting by 3 to 5 degrees.

The analog joystick should be replaced when the controller exhibits problems such as drifting, creeping, stuttering, a blind spot, a dead spot, a dead zone, no reaction when clicking, or an inability to center after prolonged use. The OEM genuine repair parts ensure accuracy and extend the lifespan of the controller.

For [Compatibility], it's important to note that PS5 controllers utilize two types of joysticks from different manufacturers. The EL7 was produced by Favor Union (FU), while the EL6 was supplied by ALPS. Despite their distinct origins, the 14 prongs on both models are positioned in the same manner, making them interchangeable.

When it comes to [DIY Replacement], the process can be challenging due to the 14 prongs on the joystick module. Desoldering and soldering the entire module requires serious skills. Therefore, it is suggested to start by replacing the potentiometers, as this can solve most joystick-related problems. For those who wish to desolder the entire joystick module from the PCB using a regular soldering iron, it's recommended to refer to the desoldering kit with the product ID: B0BK7169M8.

In summary, the [EL7 FU 2.3K for PS5 Controller] offers a convenient solution for replacing worn-out analog joysticks on the PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller. The product includes correction resistors to address drifting issues and ensures compatibility with both the EL7 and EL6 joystick models. While the full module replacement may require advanced soldering skills, the guide suggests starting with the potentiometer replacement for most users.
