After 4 months of use, I am already starting to notice a bit of drift in one of the joysticks. It does not bother me while playing, but if I stay still, you can notice how the character camera moves little by little. These replacements get you out of trouble, but the quality of PlayStation joysticks for all their controllers leaves much to be desired. I would modify the joysticks instead of buying new ones, because in less than a year you are going to have drift again.

This controller adds some customizability and comfort. Used for about a year now and often. No stick drift until now. Ironically, the replacement stick modules are out of stock everywhere. Sole purpose was to change thumb stick module for $20 vs having to buy a new controller every 3 months. If i wouldve known they are hard to come by I wouldve considered other option. Otherwise the controller is great

Although analog sticks that don't develop drift would be the best case scenario, I can't help but be grateful that Sony offers these modules to replace faulty or worn analog sticks for their expensive Dualsense Edge controllers. Easy install!

It took me getting another dualsense controller which after 4 months also had a stick drift to find this. Thanks i didn't have to buy another controller. Working good so far.

Everyone knows of the stick drift issues that come with the controllers. This sis the best thing they could've done in terms of allowing people to switch out old worn faulty joysticks. If you are a best buy member top tier maybe any tier I am not sure but once you replace your first one you can just exchange it for free.Woukd recommend anyone who is tired of buying new controllers every couple of months to invest in the edge and then buy their replacement joy sticks when needed can't go wrong if you do.

Only giving 4 stars simply because I haven’t used them yet. Oddly I bought these for the wrong controller but then purchased a new controller that I can use them in if I ever get the stick drift. Value for the money is great and ease of changing them is amazing. So happy with the cost but have not had to use them as of yet.

The PS5 edge controller is absolutely the only controller I will ever own. I got stick drift after having it 2 years. Bought this replacement joystick and it was so simple easy and quick to remove and drop another one in its ridiculous. Most definitely the way to go!

I’d give Sony’s PlayStation stick module a solid 4/5 overall. The biggest win is how it makes controller maintenance feel way less like a “replace the whole thing” situation and more like a quick, practical fix. Swapping a drifting stick is straightforward, and it’s genuinely satisfying knowing you can get your controller feeling fresh again without tossing the entire unit. It also feels like Sony finally acknowledged the reality of heavy use—especially for games that are brutal on sticks.
That said, it’s not a perfect victory lap. The price is the main sticking point: even though it’s cheaper than buying a whole new controller, it still feels a bit steep for what is essentially a wear item. I also wish availability and stocking were more consistent, because a modular repair idea only really shines when the replacement parts are easy to grab. And while the swap is simple, it’s still a little annoying that this kind of “planned wear” is something players have to deal with at all—Sony could be doing more on the durability front so replacements aren’t needed as often.
In the end, it’s a great step in the right direction: convenient, cleaner than full replacements, and a real quality-of-life upgrade for people who actually put hours into their controllers. But between the cost and the fact that it feels like a solution to a problem that shouldn’t be so common, it lands at 4 stars—recommended, just not without reservations.

I love it. I’m extremely impressed with this product. The build quality is solid, it performs flawlessly, and it was easy to set up and use. Definitely worth the purchase — I would buy it again!

Bought one of these just in case one of the sticks go out. Easy to switch out and works perfectly when I tested it. Highly recommend grabbing one to have in case you get stick drift.

Does what it's intended for, had to get a replacement for a broken joystick on my Dualsense Edge, very easy to replace on your own and the controller worked like a charm afterwards. I managed to order two so I have another as a back up and would recommend for everyone to do the same since availability seems to be an issue with these.

This is the only route to choose when it comes to video game controllers, the overall issue with controllers is stick drift and this solves that problem effortlessly, it has already paid for itself because I could easily go through 5 high end controllers in a year due to stick drift and rigorous gameplay. Replacing one takes less than 30 seconds and I’ve done it mid game. The official controller case has a holder for one of these which makes it perfect for carrying around extra. Stop wasting money replacing controllers.
