What is controller stick drift?
Stick drift is movement detected by a game when you are not moving the joystick. It can affect the camera, aiming or menu navigation. Tell us when it happens and whether it affects the left stick, right stick or both. That information helps us check your controller.
Two new TMR joysticks for $59
The confirmed price covers replacing both joysticks with new TMR sticks: $59 total, not per side. The store checks your controller model and confirms the repair. The service has a one-year warranty; ask the store about coverage.
PlayStation and Xbox controllers
Our quote tool lets you choose PlayStation or Xbox, including controllers for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Series S and Xbox One. For another brand, a special edition or an unknown model, check with us before assuming the TMR price applies.
Not charging, not connecting or buttons not working?
Those symptoms are not automatically priced as joystick replacement. Bring the controller in for a free diagnosis. We provide the repair price after checking it; free diagnosis does not mean all repairs are free.
What to bring to the store
Bring the controller and tell us which console model you use it with. For an intermittent fault, a video of the symptom can help. You do not need to share your password to ask for information. Visit us in Miami or Hialeah, or call before coming in.
DualSense, DUALSHOCK 4 and Xbox Wireless Controller
DualSense is the PS5 controller, with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in supported experiences. DUALSHOCK 4 is the PS4 controller, with its own layout and features. The current Xbox Wireless Controller uses a hybrid D-pad and a Share button. Identifying the controller matters: similar names do not mean interchangeable parts.
Third-party controllers and special editions need a compatibility check. The TMR price does not automatically apply to every model with two joysticks.
How a joystick detects movement
A joystick sends the position of its axes to the controller electronics. The game interprets that signal as direction or camera movement. If the controller registers movement when it should be centered, you may notice drift. Before choosing a repair, describe which axis is affected and when it happens.
What TMR means
TMR stands for tunnel magnetoresistance. TMR sensors detect changes in position using magnetic fields, without contact in the sensing element. This explains the technology; it does not make the entire controller immune to wear, impacts or faults.
Our confirmed price is $59 to install both new TMR joysticks. Checking the model and symptom helps confirm that this is the right service. Images are illustrative; the layout and parts depend on the model.
What to tell us when requesting service
Tell us whether unwanted movement affects the left or right stick, whether it happens without touching the controller, and whether buttons, triggers or charging are also affected. Those faults may have a different cause and price. Diagnosis of other faults is free, with the repair quoted afterward.
