Mail-in Controller Repair for Toronto

Controller repair for Toronto without the Toronto prices. Mail your PS5, PS4, Xbox or Switch controller to Hamilton with a prepaid label, get it back with magnetic TMR sticks, or drive down the QEW and drop it off.

Mail it in or drive it down

Toronto is close enough for either. Mail-in is the easy option, but if you're heading toward Hamilton anyway, it's about an hour down the QEW to the east-end drop-off.

How mail-in works

Order online, pay, and a prepaid Canada Post label is emailed to you automatically. Drift repair by mail is $35 per controller plus $5 round-trip shipping, however many controllers are in the box. Repairs are usually done within 24 hours of arriving, then shipped straight back. How mail-in works →

Dropping off

Drop-off is by appointment, Thursday to Sunday, 9:30am–1pm and 3pm–6:30pm, in Hamilton's east end. There's no storefront, so the exact address is sent once you book a time. You'll get a call or text when it's ready to pick up.

Why magnetic sticks? Standard sticks drift because their contacts wear out. The TMR and Hall Effect sticks we install sense movement with magnets, so there's nothing to wear. Hall Effect vs TMR →
