AKNES HallPi V6 TMR Joystick Replacement for PS5 DualSense/Edge | Anti-Drift Stick, High-Precision, Long Life & Low Power Consumption

Only bought these because the Gulkit TMRs wouldn’t have arrived in time but now I’m happy I did. These work great, if not better than the Gulkit TMRs! When testing, I got a lower input error percentage vs the Gulkit (average 3% vs Gulkits 3.7%) when using Gamepad Tester - Impressive! I also like the blue body of the joysticks compared to the black found on the Gulkits. If you’ve never used TMRs before, these are much better than the stock ALPS joysticks found from factory as there’s no friction between the potentiometers and the joystick, allowing your controller to be drift free forever! You’ll need good soldering skills to install these without damaging your controller. I recommend grabbing a rework station if you’re a regular or at least a decent soldering iron + variable heat gun and maybe some low melt for easy removal. **Make sure to calibrate them before use as they don’t come working optimally out the box - you’ll need to calibrate stick centre and stick range.** If these could be improved, Aknes should give us something like the KK rings (thumb grips with metal between the grip and the base) found on the Gulkits. From my own testing, I’ve found the metal glides smoother against the DualSense shell vs the plastic used on stock and Aknes grips. These feel more like a fresh OEM controller that never degrades vs knowing you have TMRs installed. Aside from that price difference is about £1-2 so not much between them - both are solid options. Overall 5 stars

The perfect replacement for a PS5 controller with stick drift. I've previously used both standard ALPS replacement joysticks, which are doomed to suffer with drift again eventually and the cheap Hall Effect sticks with a calibration pcb which can be somewhat of a nightmare to get perfect. Replacement is straightforward for someone with semi-decent soldering skills, the calibration process simply requires any PC with a chromium based browser, go to the calibration site, spin the sticks and you're left with zero drift and fantastic circularity.

First time attempting joystick replacement, items were packaged well. Installed and setup perfectly. Time will tell how long they last but perfect so far.

Replacements themselves are perfect but the sticks are slightly proud when the controller is reassembled. They rub on the casing and don't recentre themselves. Just means you have to use the old sticks

After having tried the black ones, I thought I'd give these a try in a different controller. Using a desoldering tool, I directly swapped out both modules and replaced them with these. Smooth as silk, both installation and use wise. Not for the feint hearted granted, but with a lot of patience and a little learning, these will make gaming sessions definitely last longer.

Great product works brilliantly

5* service from AKNES. Received the sensor modules quickly, and their customer service for getting your questions answered is fantastic. The modules fit on the PCB like a glove - stick drift eliminated from my controllers. Highly recommend.

Bad

Have installed two pairs of these into two DualSense controllers so far and they're excellent. If I have any notes it's that at first it felt like they had the slightest bit less spring tension on the sticks than stock, less than 5% if I had to guess, and I got used to it within an hour. They feel superb and after calibration (just look up DualShock Calibration GUI, it's an easy-to-use web tool) they feel more precise than the stock sticks during slow, careful aiming in games, and equally capable at quick whip aiming. Will be upgrading the rest of my controllers with these without hesitation.

I first started soldering one and testing if it would work and it did, after soldering the other one suddenly my controller stopt working at all. I couldn’t make it to work again with both stick attached to it.

I used these to replace the sticks inside four DualSense Edge modules. I personally have had them installed for a few months now and they are still working perfectly. I absolutely love that there is little to no drift even after heavy use. I will be continuing to stick with these TMR modules. They are a massive upgrade from the originals and a really good value compared to others on the market

Fonctionne parfaitement sur 2 manettes PS5. Cependant attention, un calibrage de la manette avec ces nouveaux joystiques sera nécessaire via un site internet et connecté en USB sur PC. Je recommande.

Funcionaron como esperaba luego de calibrarlos, solo falta ver si afectó la duración de la batería.
