Stick drift is by far the most common controller repair — every major manufacturer's controllers eventually develop it from carbon-brush wear inside the analog stick. We replace the stick assembly $39 per stick, same-day when parts are in stock. Hall-effect upgrades available for an additional fee — these use magnetic sensors instead of contact brushes, so they never drift. We also handle every other common controller failure.

Frequently asked questions
What causes stick drift in controllers?
Carbon-brush wear inside the analog stick module. Every major controller manufacturer uses the same general design — over time the brushes wear and start sending false position signals. Replacing the stick assembly fixes it. Hall-effect upgrades use magnetic sensors instead and never drift.
Hall-effect upgrade vs standard stick replacement — worth the extra cost?
If you game heavily and your controller drifted before, hall-effect is worth it — they're more durable and never develop drift. If you're casual or this is your first drift, the standard $39 stick replacement is the cost-effective fix.
My controller works wired but not wirelessly. Fixable?
Often yes — could be a battery issue, Bluetooth module fault, or board damage. We do a $49 diagnostic to identify the cause then quote the specific repair.
Can I trade in my dead controller toward a pre-owned working one?
Yes — even broken controllers get a trade-in offer. Apply the credit toward a quality-checked pre-owned replacement, often a better-than-new option for an older controller generation.
How long does controller repair take?
Same-day for stick drift and most button repairs when parts are in stock. Charging port replacements also typically same-day. More complex board-level issues 1-3 business days.
