ElecGear 8X ALPS 2.1K Replacement Trimmer Potentiometer Sensor for PS5 DualSense, PS4 Wireless Gaming Controllers, Trim Pot Resistors Repair Parts for ALPS Analog Joystick
Brand: ElecGear
Color: ALPS 2.1KΩ Potentiometer
ALPS 2.1K Potentiometer
The OEM side trim pot resistor was made by ALPS. It fits PS5 DualSense and some rare PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 wireless controllers with 2.1K ohm ALPS joysticks inside
Solve most of joystick problems:
1.According to some estimates, 80% chances of joystick problems were caused by the potentiometer. In another words, the rotary mechanism and the tactile switches are not the problem. You can simply replace the side potentiometer sensor alone to solve most of the problems
2.De-soldering the unit with only 3 prongs will be much more easier than replacing the 14Pin joystick assembly
Compatibility Notes:
1.ALPS version is not interchangeable with the orange version made by Favor Union
2.ALPS potentiometers come in two different resistance values. Never judge its value by its color. Please make sure the resistance value is 2.1K ohm before ordering
3.Please choose 10K ohm for most PS3, PS4 DualShock 4, Xbox One, Elite Series 1 and 2, Xbox Series S|X and Switch Pro controllers
[ALPS 2.1K Potentiometer] – The OEM side trim pot resistor was made by ALPS. It fits PS5 DualSense and some rare PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 wireless controllers with 2.1K ohm ALPS joysticks inside
[Compatibility] – This 2.1K ALPS version is not interchangeable with the orange version made by Favor Union (FU). Also be noticed: ALPS potentiometers come in two different resistance values. Never judge its value by its color. Please make sure the resistance value is 2.1K ohm before ordering. (Be noticed: choose 10K ohm version for most PS3, PS4 DualShock 4, Xbox One, Elite Series 1 and 2, Xbox Series S|X and Switch Pro controllers)
[For most joystick problem] – The 3Pin trimmer potentiometer sensor needs to be replaced when the controller has the problem of creeping, stuttering, a blind spot, a dead spot, a dead zone, or it wouldn't center after years of wear and tear. De-soldering the unit with only 3 prongs will be much more easier than replacing the entire 14Pin joystick module
[Reminder of Replacement] – Make sure you have basic soldering skills and some de-soldering supplies like an electronics solder iron and small gauge solder. Use a pair of pliers to separate the problem sensor off the thumbstick component. A metal pick helps to clear the holes in the PCB. Re-soldering the new unit in is a breeze. Please remember to calibrate the new control sticks in settings
