The third revision of the classic Xbox Wireless Controller was released in November 2020, bundled with the Xbox Series X and Series S. This controller is backwards compatible with previous Xbox One consoles, and PCs.

Xbox Joystick doesn’t work after installation

Hi! I recently installed new joysticks from Gulikit, I purchased them off Amazon. I followed the I fix it instructions and installed them. The right one works totally fine however, the left one seems to drift to the right but when you click the joystick in it goes back to center slowly. (See video) up and down works fine but left and right won’t do anything on the left joystick. Thanks in advance!

Hi there!

Usually when this happens, it’s caused by a damaged solderpad.

First of all, try to replace the joystick for a new one. When you did removed all the solder, please share again some photo’s with us, so we can inspect the solder pads. If the replacement part didn’t worked, then I’m afraid you need to fix the solder pads..

Okay will do. How can I fix a solder pad?

Thanks!

Here is a video explaining how to fix it: https://youtu.be/AR0lb7YI0v4?si=eJm8y8pP...

@dan0 Hey so ive been doing some research and im wondering if this is correct. I used a multimeter to check for continuity between the yellow lines in my photo (see links) and they are good. However the middle pin doesn’t seem to have continuity where the red arrow and line is. If I solder a wire from the middle pin to TP42 (red line in photo) will this fix the issue? Thank you for the help, I have been learning a ton so far.

@dan0 I just realized I think that via connects to TP64, not TP42. Should I solder a wire to TP64 instead of TP42? There is no continuity on TP64 either

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

Yeah TP42 is definitely for the button. Pretty sure I should solder a wire from middle pin to TP64

Update your controller's firmware. This is the most likely software fix to address a controller specific issue.

Are you experiencing issues with your controller? If so, what kind of problems are you facing-stick drift, input lag, disconnections? Also, which controller are you using (Xbox, PlayStation, or another brand)? Let me know, and I can help troubleshoot.

Hey, I'm no expert, but from what I've seen, xbox controllers triggers work through magnetism, which can cause magnetic interference with hall effect or tmr analog sticks, which both work with magnetism also, since the left analog on xbox controllers sit next to the triggers, this usually happens, the actual fix would be a thin metal plate/sheet under the circuit board where the analog sits to redirect the magnetic field of the triggers, there's aftermarket modded controllers that come with these analogs that have these metal plates, look up dismantling videos of the guilikit king kong 2 controller, that's one I know for sure have it and I've seen it through a video of these, it's a shame few people talk about this issue on xbox controllers, but if you look around the internet you'll notice most videos of these tmr/hall effect sticks are made with dualsense controllers. It shouldn't be that difficult to make one of these metal plates, beware of causing a short circuit on the board tho, place them carefully, cut them to size correctly, it can be thin from what I've seen, look up good magnetic reflecting capable metals, nickel, steel, any thin metal sheet of these should do the trick, I look forward to do it myself on an old xbox one controller that's rendered useless due to permanent stick drift, as it should be super cheap with these new ginfull tmr analogs, considering the price of an official controller here in Brazil where I'm from, around 500/600 reais, almost half a month's wage, this fix should cost me no more than 80, 100 at most, so I'll definitely give it a try
