Replacing the analog stick module (joystick) on a PS5 DualSense controller requires some technical skill, soldering, and the right tools. Here's a step-by-step guide:

 

Tools & Materials Needed:

Replacement PS5 analog stick module (compatible with DualSense)

 

Soldering iron (preferably with adjustable temperature)

 

Solder wire & flux

 

Desoldering pump or solder wick

 

Screwdriver set (Phillips #00 & Torx T8)

 

Tweezers or small pliers

 

Spudger or plastic opening tool

 

Heat gun (optional, for stubborn solder)

 

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Disassemble the Controller

Remove the four screws (under the handle grips) using a Torx T8 screwdriver.

 

Pry open the controller carefully using a spudger (start from the bottom).

 

Disconnect the battery cable (important to avoid short circuits).

 

Remove the trigger springs & motor cables (take a photo for reassembly reference).

 

Unscrew the mainboard (Phillips #00) and lift it carefully.

 

2. Remove the Old Analog Stick Module

The analog stick module is soldered to the mainboard with 6 pins (3 per side).

 

Desolder the connections:

 

Apply flux to the solder joints.

 

Heat each pin with the soldering iron and use a desoldering pump or solder wick to remove solder.

 

Gently wiggle the module out once all pins are free.

 

3. Install the New Analog Stick Module

Place the new module in the same orientation as the old one.

 

Solder each pin carefully (avoid bridging connections).

 

Ensure the module sits flush with the board.

 

4. Reassemble the Controller

Reattach the mainboard and screw it in.

 

Reconnect the battery, triggers, and motor cables.

 

Snap the controller halves back together.

 

Screw in the four Torx T8 screws.

 

5. Test the Controller

Power on the PS5 and check:

 

Joystick movement (no drift or sticking).

 

Button functionality.

 

Tips:

If you're inexperienced with soldering, practice on old electronics first.

 

Some replacement modules come pre-calibrated; others may need firmware updates (rare).

 

If drift persists, check for debris or consider replacing the module again.
