PS4 Controller Repair
PS4 controller repair in Hamilton, or by mail from anywhere in Canada. The DualShock 4 is a workhorse — and after years of use, its sticks drift and its L2/R2 triggers get clicky. We fix both. Drift repairs get Ginful Hall Effect joysticks so the new sticks outlast the original ones by a wide margin.

PS4 controller repair cost vs replacement
Replacing a DualShock 4 usually costs several times more than a $20 drift repair, and cheap knock-offs don't feel like the real thing. A repair keeps your original controller and adds Hall Effect sticks that outlast the stock ones.

PS4 controller questions
