White PS5 Dualsense controller with GuliKit TMR joysticks installed. The box for GuliKit TMR joysticks is displayed below the controller. I offer a service where I replace your drifting analog sticks with brand new TMR joysticks. See my eBay page for more details. PS5 Dualsense motherboard with stock joysticks installed. These joysticks were drifting so they need to be replaced. PS5 Dualsense motherboard with GuliKit TMR joysticks installed. After calibration, these will last a lot longer than the stock joysticks since they use magnets to detect movement. GuliKit TMR Joysticks removed from the box still in packaging. Top row are the joysticks, bottom row are the thumbsticks.

Installed my first ExtremeRate RISE 4 kit on a Midnight Black DualSense. Of course, gave it some GuliKit TMR sticks. Finally, gave it a battery upgrade. This was a fun modding project! Considering offering this as a service.

Here’s photos of my work and a video showing the USB-C Port’s connection stability.

Always use OEM Power Supplies with your retro consoles! Why? Here is an SNES console running the burn-in test using a cheap, aftermarket power supply where it shows a failing VRAM. I ran the same test on the same console with an OEM Nintendo power supply and it passes the burn-in test with no errors
Aftermarket power supply that is compatible with both NES and SNES consoles. I highly recommend against buying these. Burn-In Test results for the SNES using the aftermarket power supply. It shows a VRAM failure with distorted text across the top of the screen and mismatched characters. An Official Nintendo Power Supply for SNES. SNS-002. I replaced the capacitor inside of it with a brand new one. The same SNES console using the official Nintendo power supply running the Burn-In Test with passing results.

I got this Sega Genesis Model 2 off eBay. The reset button was stuck but it did power on. I cleaned the cartridge connector and replaced the old capacitors with brand new ones. Then I cleaned the whole shell. Almost lost the spring for the cartridge slot dust guard flaps so that was stressful 😅

Busy day today! Just finished my eBay customer’s controller for service today. Cleaned it up, installed new GuliKit TMRs.

This Genesis was filthy and didn’t read carts. Reset was stuck. Cleaned the shell, buttons, and the cartridge connector. She lives but needs a recap.
Customer’s Galactic Purple Dualsense before I worked on it. Dirty and has drift. Customer’s Galactic Purple controller after cleaned and serviced it. Has new GuliKit TMR joysticks installed. Sega Genesis 2 with 6-Pak loaded into it. Cartridges could not be read before. Reset button was stuck. Cleaned the top shell to fix the stuck buttons and the cartridge connector. It works…kinda The Genesis 2 boots to the game now but there’s discoloration. That tells me that this console needs its capacitors replaced.

There was a penny in this PS1. I don’t think it’s very lucky.

The world may be on fire, but I am so grateful to this hobby. It’s one of the few things in life that keeps me sane other than my loved ones. I feel good knowing there are others who can benefit from my skills. That’s what keeps me going.

I finally found a technique that makes these USB-C port swaps waaaayy easier and cleaner for me! Pretty proud of this one 😁

How my week’s going 🙃
The section of a PS5 controller’s motherboard where the USB-C port should be installed. All of the solder pads except the anchor points for the USB-C port were torn off during the removal. The connector inside the USB-C port was wobbly to the touch and would not detect a USB cable which is why I wanted to replace the port. I used Chip-Quik and plenty of flux on all the joints and applied at least 420 degrees Celsius of heat from my hot air gun. I’m not sure what went wrong but I suspect it was from how wobbly the internal connector was which may have torn the traces or I may not have applied enough heat to that particular area that got torn off. I’m not sure. Either way, this will be a frustrating fix once I do more research. Worst case scenario, I’ll use this controller for parts. Broken microphone flex cable on a different PS5 controller. This is a simple fix but it’s also a reminder to slow down when opening any controller, especially PS5 controllers.

Got a PS4 Slim for $30 untested. Powered on, but no picture. Decided to replace the HDMI port. Pretty proud for my first time! Definitely some growing pains. But I think replacing USB-C ports helped the learning process. I’m so pumped to play Bloodborne again! 🥹

Got a Red Camo Xbox Series controller from Mercari. The seller mentioned it had really bad drift. I replaced the old analog sticks with GuliKit TMR joysticks. Cleaned and disinfected the entire controller. Safe to say, this controller won’t be drifting anymore. Now to get a battery cover for it.
New GuliKit TMR joysticks installed on the Xbox Series controller motherboard. Red Camo Xbox Series controller on a stand with new GuliKit joysticks and thumbsticks on display. Below the controller are the original joysticks and thumbsticks that were pre-installed in the controller. Since the joysticks were defective from drift and the thumbsticks were gross and falling apart, they were replaced with the GuliKit joysticks and thumbsticks. Testing the controller after installation and calibration of the new joysticks. The left joystick shows an average error of 4.7% and the right stick shows an average error of 6.1% while testing its circularity.

Pro tip: if you’re replacing analog sticks, order more than one set. Learning today that even the best brands have bad batches.
Testing circularity on newly installed and calibrated GuliKit TMR joysticks for Switch Pro controller. I’m not happy with how they turned out. The left stick has a low error rate but it does not fill the circle in certain parts. The right stick has a high error rate and still has a hard time filling the entire circle.

Told y’all the GuliKit Hall Effect sticks were still good 😁
Nintendo Switch with black joycons on a stand on the calibration menu. Below are the OEM joycon analog sticks that have been removed from the black joycons. These joycons had really bad drift and the rubber was completely removed from the thumbsticks. Since I replaced my Hall effect sticks with TMR, the Hall effect sticks needed a new place to live since they’re still perfectly good and still solves the drift issue. I love giving controllers a second chance at life 😁

Modding’s all fun and games until you get stabbed by a rumble motor adhered by the strongest bonding agent known to man (exaggerating of course)
While cleaning up the inside of a Switch Pro Controller, I attempted to remove one of the rumble motors from the shell because it was adhered so strongly, it took a lot of effort to push it out from the other side. Once I pushed it out, the pressure from the push shoved the rumble motor into the side of my left hand. When I removed it from my hand, I was bleeding. So now I’m bandaged and showing the culprit rumble motor that injured me lol

Decided to swap out my GuliKit Hall Effect analog sticks for my Nintendo Joycons with GuliKit TMR analog sticks. Since the Hall Effect sticks are still good, I’m going to put them in another set of joycons I got coming in.
