PS5 Controller Repair
PS5 controller repair in Hamilton, or by mail from anywhere in Canada. DualSense drift is one of the most common PS5 complaints — and one of the most satisfying to fix. We replace the failing sticks with K-SILVER TMR joysticks, the same magnetic-sensor sticks we put in our refurbished PS5 pads, so the drift doesn't creep back.

Why TMR sticks for the DualSense
TMR (tunnelling magnetoresistance) joysticks are the next step beyond Hall Effect — even lower power draw, which matters on the battery-hungry DualSense, with the same contact-free magnetic sensing that kills wear-based drift.

PS5 controller repair cost vs buying new
A new DualSense costs around $90 or more in Canada. A drift repair is $20 for one stick or $35 for both, and you get TMR magnetic sticks that resist drift far better than the stock sticks in a brand-new controller.

PS5 controller questions
Do you fix the DualSense Edge too?
Yes — the standard DualSense, the DualSense Edge and the PS Portal are all serviced. The Edge is a harder job, so drift is $25 per stick with no two-stick discount.
Which sticks do you install in a PS5 controller?
K-SILVER TMR joysticks — magnetic-sensor sticks with very low power draw, ideal for the DualSense. They're included in the drift repair price.
Will adaptive triggers and haptics still work?
Yes. A stick repair doesn't touch the adaptive trigger or haptic hardware — everything that made the controller feel like a DualSense stays intact.
How much is a PS5 drift repair?
$20 for one stick or $35 for both, with the TMR sticks included. Mail-in is a flat $40 door to door.
My PS5 controller is beyond fixing — any options?
