Xbox One controller was introduced in 2016 with the launch of the Xbox One S and adds Bluetooth support for Windows 10/11. This controller fixes many of the design flaws found on the Model 1537/1697 controllers and is much more reliable. This controller has been replaced with the improved Model 1914 controller.

Repair broken off joystick pads

Got a Xbox One controller that i replaced the joystick on a couple years back using a cheap $10 soldering iron. It started getting stick drift recently so i removed the joystick with my pinecil and a few of the pads came off. Is there any salvaging this board?

Hi!

Yeah, those solder pads are gone.

You can repair it, but then you need to do same trace fixing! This can be quiet difficult.

There are a lot of video's about this, example: How To Repair Damaged / Broken PCB Traces - 2 Great Methods

It's not easy, but you can try to get it back to work! Otherwise you do need to replace that board, way easier but more expensive!
