{"product_id":"ps4-joystick-assembly-replacement-thumbstick-3-pin","title":"PS4 Joystick Assembly - Replacement Thumbstick (3-Pin)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDualShock 4 drift is one of the most common controller failures out there. The camera creeps, the character walks on its own, or the stick feels loose and will not snap back to center. Nine times out of ten the fix is a new potentiometer module, not a new controller. This is a direct replacement 3-pin joystick assembly for the PS4 controller: stick stem, housing and both potentiometers, ready to solder onto the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this fixes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStick drift with nothing touching the controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDead zones or a stick that stops short of full range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA loose, wobbly or scratchy-feeling stick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA broken stem where the thumbstick cap snapped off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold as a \u003cstrong\u003esingle assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e, which replaces one stick. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePS4 DualShock 4, all board revisions (JDM-001 through JDM-055 \/ JDS-055)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes not fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePS3 and PS5 controllers use different modules.
