AKNES HallPi V6 TMR Joystick Replacement for X Box Series X/S Controller

One of the replacement sticks I received was faulty. The first step toward figuring that out was rebuilding the data and power traces, which had been damaged when I melted the original OEM joysticks during removal. The plastic fused to the board and tore out eyelets and traces when I tried to lift them off using a hot air gun. To fix the board, I worked directly with a professional in the seller's dedicated Discord. They take time to review people’s installs, give precision advice, and genuinely help everyone get the best possible results. With their guidance, I repaired the board and went through every possible cause of failure. Once it was clear the part itself was faulty, the seller immediately shipped me a new one. No hassle, no pushback, just real support. The working sticks feel great. Solid and responsive. Once I switched to a proper soldering iron instead of hot air, the rest of the install went smoothly. These are high quality parts backed by even better service. Mistakes happen. Things go wrong. But when a company and community step in to help you recover, that says everything. I will absolutely order from them again. See below the disaster I recovered from. They sent not one, but a set of two Bravo!

These have the same feel as the old analog sticks but with the precision of TMR, other brands of TMR modules I’ve found feel overly sensitive and jumpy, these are the only ones I’ve tried that allowed me to keep all my settings the same. Great value too.

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 !

You will need proper soldering equipment and the equipment to desolder as well. Don't try this with basic tools, you will probably not have great luck. So far these modules have totally eliminated stick drift in my old controller and work perfectly! I have seen other reviewers mention minor problems, so I'm a little weary about long term life, but in my experience, I haven't seen any issues at all.

I have done tons of ps5 joystick repairs with trms from AKNES and they’ve been fine. But I got a 4 pack of xbox series ones and tried fixing one of my Xbox controllers with them and it seemed like all 4 are so out of calibration that I can’t even use the calibration tool on the Xbox or on windows. It doesn’t even register feedback on gamepass tester it just flips from top right corner to top left on its own and nothing I do can’t change it. I have desoldered and resoldered many times and still same results. It might be because I replaced both but I need to anyway and it’s not working. I’ve done tons of ps5 controllers no problems. Idk if I’m not doing something right but it seems like there is something wrong with Xbox joysticks in general from AKNES.

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.

I’ll preface this with the point that I’m a certified DC electronics technician and have reaped many things. Even after cleaning up the solder pads and opening up the mounting points, I had a SUPER hard time getting these to fit into the socket. Ended up ruining once side of the controller and I will have to do some micro soldering to repair. The repair joysticks are a SUPER tight fit on the board, and it is very hard to get them in. Steer clear unless you have some good repair experience. The part seems to work fine, but 2 stars for how bad a fit it is. Higley difficult to repair as a result. Can’t speak to the longevity of the parts because it ended up being cheaper to buy a new controller than do the micro solder job.

These TMR sticks have saved our two controllers from the landfill! Of course you may require some experience with electronic repairs beforehand, but it's a fairly simple beginner project. After installation, the setup is already done, stick calibration was already on point and so far, after 4 months of continuous use playing Mortal Kombat, these replacements have beat Xbox's stick drift by miles with just a 3% deadzone

Die "AKNES TMR Elektromagnetischer Joystick Ersatz für Xbox Series X/S Controller, Anti-Drift Stick Reparatur Zubehör für Xbox Series X/S Controller - 2 Paare " werden gut verpackt geliefert. Im Lieferumfang sind die Sticks und zwei caps. Der Austausch ist einfach wenn man etwas Ahnung hat. Danach funktioniert die sticks super und sogar ohne Kalibrierung.

These are absolutely brilliant...... but getting the old ones out clean is a task due to 14 solder points.

Funcionan muy bien, se los instalé a dos controles y va perfecto. Los recomiendo

Están muy bien bienen 4 más unas gomitas para los joysticks, llevo un mes privándolos y nada de drift.

These joysticks are amazing. I wish they were in stock and stayed in stock. I repair controllers for a side hustle and have had great experience with these. They defeat drift and provide a great gaming experience. Please bring these back into stock.
