AKNES HallPi TMR Electromagnetic Joystick Replacement for Switch Pro Controller, Anti-Drift Stick Repair Accessories for Switch Pro Controller - 2 Pairs

TMR units work really good, no complaints, installation same as all the others.Joystick caps (black ones) are also of good quality, I cannot see the different between the original ones and these.It also comes with the smaller caps in the picture for protecting the main piece, while I'm not a fan of those the quality is still good and it feels and has a good grip.Overall a good option, not the cheapest but it has all you need at the desire quality, if you are just casual and want fix your controllers without breaking your head bout many options, this one is good.Although soldering skills are obviously requiered to get the job done.

These are super accurate upon calibration. Really smooth motion when going around in a circle. Using these actually made a noticeable improvement in my COD k/d ratio. I found using a low temp solder and solder wick is the easiest way to get the old sticks out. I think replacing worn out joysticks with these is a no-brainer. The included thumb sticks fit tight on the joystick and are copies of the series model originals. I have only praise for these at this time.

I bought two sets of these TMR sticks for a couple of Xbox Series controllers that I picked up from a charity shop . They both initially tested fine , but I wanted to try doing the replacement as the sticks are the only downside to the stock controllers . I already have a nice soldering station and I'm okay at soldering , but I've had trouble in the past removing components from circuit boards so I figured that I'd better pick up a nice de-soldering station to help overcome that issue . Everything went perfect , this upgrade is totally doable , as everybody else in the comments says - get yourself a de-solder tool or you'll be sorry . I just had to recalibrate the new sticks and retesting shows perfect results . Recommended !

Given just how quickly my PS5 controller sticks go bad, I'm glad these replacements are available. Seriously, the controller that came with my new PS5 went bad within 6 months of purchase so I bought a new controller, the left stick on the new controller started drifting within 6 months so again I bought yet another controller. Guess what, that one also started drifting on the left stick at just about 6 months in. My wife and I only use the PS5 for about an hour every night and no kids have ever used it. Floored why these expensive controllers go bad so quickly with light use. I finally got tired and frustrated with having to buy a new controller every 6 months.With that said, I finally decided to try and fix my controllers instead of purchasing new ones. Originally I was going to get Hall Effect switches but stumbled onto these TMR switches and after doing a little research came to the conclusion that the TMR switches are even better than the Hall Effect switches. I also read that Gulikit switches are the most popular but then also found out that "AKNES was created as the exclusive agent and partner of big R&D brands like: 8BitDo/GuliKit/RetroFlag/MOBAPAD". So if I am understanding correctly, these AKNES TMR switches are exactly the same switches that Gulikit sells but at a lower cost. Anyway, these AKNES switches are what I decided to try.I found that replacing these switches was fairly straight forward but I am also no stranger to soldering, so no big deal. Once installed I found the website where you can calibrate the new switches. Calibration was quick and easy. The TMR switches calibrated nicely however I did notice some slight off center jittering. They only stayed perfectly centered at 0.00 if the thumsticks were moved off center then quickly released. Fortunately the sticks work perfectly in game with no drifting. They also feel better overall than the factory sticks in my opinion.Now, I certainly would think twice about trying this with no experience in soldering however these switches are affordable so if you have no experience soldering electronics but want to try, your not really out much cash if you fail. You would just have to buy a new controller which really is the only other option when the factory switches go bad anyway.At the very least you will need a good high temp soldering iron (preferably one you can set the temp on), some good rosin core solder (or solid core & flux), a good solder sucker or a good solder wick braid to remove the old solder and a screwdriver set made for electronics repair. I would also suggest a anti-static mat, a anti-static grounding strap and a circuit board holder. There are some good YouTube videos that show replacement from start to finish.Lastly, be careful when soldering and de-soldering. The solder can drip and attach to other components on the circuit board causing shorts once you reinstall the battery. I actually had this happen on the second controller I fixed. I got the controller all repaired but found it was acting like the L2 switch was pressed which I confirmed on a website the test controller switches. I had to tear down the controller again to find the problem. I spent over an hour looking at the board under a magnifying glass looking to see if solder dripped on something. I was about to give up when I noticed a very small diode looked slightly different than the one next to it. I gave it a little scrap with a pick and a microdot (size of a pinhead) of solder broke free from it. Hoping this was the issue I reassembled the controller and retested. It now worked!Overall I am very happy with these switches and so far both the controllers I replaced the switches in are working great. I highly recommend these switches. I will update this review if at any time they develop any issues.

These are awesome, just drop them in to a stock controller and fix your stick drift. The hardest part is removing the old sticks without a removal tool, so I used the disassembly method on youtube to cut the old sticks into parts. After calibration, they were dead center every time (which I've never seen with the original sticks) and I've had no interference with triggers at all. The tension and linearity of the sticks feel good, the only issue is the click on these are softer than the original sticks, but not so much that you would accidentally click them.

The Joysticks came defective, they had a limited range of motion, I couldn't calibrate the Joysticks. The range was limited on both sticks, I cleaned my controller a lot, I refined my solder job, but no matter what I did I couldn't get the range properly calibrated in the Xbox accessories app. Do not buy from Aknes. Gulikit are slightly more expensive but your getting a better quality product than this one. I would consider other brands instead of Aknes.

Worked, was more of a project to swap them out than I first thought it’d be. But as inexperienced as I am at soldering and all that just surprised it actually worked after I swapped everything. Only been replaced for a day so I can’t saw if that anti drift will hold up over time. They do seem to have a small “dead zone” when first moving the joy stick. So they might not be a perfect replacement for the ps5 controller. Over all pretty happy. But I’ll probably save up for a better gaming controller at some point.
