Is your PS5 DualSense Edge controller suffering from stick drift, unwanted movement or an analogue stick that no longer centres correctly? Our DualSense Edge TMR joystick repair and upgrade service replaces the worn joystick mechanism inside your existing removable Edge stick module with an upgraded TMR magnetic joystick.
You can have one TMR joystick upgraded for £49.99 or have both joystick modules upgraded for £79.99.
This is an upgraded TMR repair rather than a standard carbon-track joystick replacement. TMR joystick components are considerably more expensive than conventional replacement sticks and use magnetic sensing technology rather than the carbon-track potentiometers found in standard analogue joysticks.
Unlike the standard PS5 DualSense controller, the DualSense Edge uses removable joystick modules. We professionally dismantle the affected module, replace the original joystick mechanism with the upgraded TMR unit, calibrate it and test its operation before refitting and testing it with the controller.
DualSense Edge repairs are carried out at our Bolton, Greater Manchester repair centre, with a UK-wide repair service available for customers throughout the country.
Common DualSense Edge Stick Drift Symptoms
Stick drift occurs when the controller registers analogue movement even though you are not intentionally moving the joystick.
Common symptoms include:
• Character moves without touching the joystick
• Camera moves or rotates by itself
• Analogue stick constantly pulls in one direction
• Stick does not centre accurately
• Erratic or inconsistent analogue movement
• Excessive dead zone around the centre position
• Movement continues after releasing the stick
• Difficulty achieving precise movement in games
If your DualSense Edge has developed these symptoms, the joystick mechanism within the removable stick module may require replacement.
DualSense Edge Removable Joystick Modules
The PS5 DualSense Edge is different from the standard DualSense controller because its analogue sticks are contained within removable joystick modules.
The modular design means an individual stick module can be removed from the controller. However, the internal joystick mechanism inside the module can still wear and develop problems such as stick drift, inaccurate movement or poor centring.
Our repair service does not simply replace your complete Edge stick module with another standard module. Instead, we dismantle your existing removable module and replace the internal joystick mechanism with an upgraded TMR magnetic joystick.
This allows you to retain the removable DualSense Edge module while upgrading the component responsible for detecting analogue stick movement.
What Is a TMR Joystick Upgrade?
TMR stands for Tunnel Magnetoresistance. TMR joystick sensors use magnetic sensing technology to determine the position and movement of the analogue stick.
The standard joystick mechanisms originally fitted inside DualSense Edge modules use conventional potentiometer-based position sensing. These use physical contact with resistive carbon tracks to detect joystick movement.
Over time and through repeated use, these contact surfaces can wear. This wear is one of the common causes of analogue stick drift and inaccurate stick movement.
TMR technology measures joystick position magnetically rather than relying on the same type of carbon contact tracks used by conventional potentiometer-based sticks.
This makes the TMR installation an upgrade rather than a like-for-like replacement with another standard joystick mechanism.
Why Does the DualSense Edge TMR Repair Cost More?
The TMR joysticks used for this DualSense Edge repair are considerably more expensive than the standard carbon-track potentiometer joysticks originally fitted to the controller.
A cheaper stick drift repair may involve replacing a worn joystick with another conventional carbon-track joystick. That is not what we are providing with this service.
Instead, the original joystick mechanism inside the removable DualSense Edge module is replaced with a premium TMR magnetic joystick.
The TMR components themselves cost considerably more than standard replacement joysticks. The repair also requires the Edge module to be professionally dismantled, the original joystick removed, the upgraded TMR component installed and the completed joystick calibrated and tested.
This is an upgraded joystick repair rather than a like-for-like replacement with the original type of carbon-based stick.
One DualSense Edge TMR Stick Upgrade – £49.99
If only the left or right analogue stick is suffering from drift or inaccurate movement, you can choose to have one DualSense Edge joystick upgraded to TMR technology for £49.99.
The affected removable stick module is dismantled and the original carbon-track joystick mechanism is replaced with the upgraded TMR component.
The £49.99 price includes the TMR joystick, professional installation, calibration and testing.
Both DualSense Edge TMR Stick Upgrades – £79.99
For £79.99, we can upgrade the joystick mechanisms inside both removable DualSense Edge modules to TMR technology.
This is ideal if both analogue sticks are suffering from drift, or if you would prefer to upgrade both sticks to TMR technology at the same time rather than retaining a standard carbon-track joystick on the other side.
Having both sticks upgraded together also provides better value than having two individual £49.99 repairs carried out separately.
The £79.99 price includes two upgraded TMR joystick components, professional installation, calibration and testing of both sticks.
Professional TMR Joystick Installation
Although the complete DualSense Edge joystick module is removable from the controller, the joystick mechanism inside the module still requires specialist work to replace.
The affected module is dismantled so that the original joystick mechanism can be accessed and removed.
The upgraded TMR joystick is then professionally installed before the module is reassembled.
This is different from simply removing one complete Edge module and inserting another standard replacement module.
DualSense Edge Joystick Calibration & Testing
Replacing the joystick mechanism is only part of a successful DualSense Edge stick drift repair.
After installation, the repaired joystick needs to centre correctly and accurately register movement throughout its operating range.
We therefore calibrate and test the repaired TMR joystick after installation.
The controller is checked for correct analogue movement, centring and operation before the repair is completed.

• Removal of the original carbon-track joystick mechanism
• Installation of the upgraded TMR magnetic joystick
• Choice of one or both TMR joystick upgrades
• Joystick calibration
• Analogue movement and centring tests
• Reassembly and final controller testing
• 3-month repair warranty
TMR Upgrade vs Standard Joystick Replacement
There is an important difference between this repair and a standard joystick replacement.
A conventional replacement normally installs another potentiometer-based joystick that uses carbon contact tracks similar to the original component.
With this service, we instead install an upgraded TMR magnetic joystick mechanism inside your DualSense Edge module.
Because TMR components are more expensive than conventional replacement joysticks, the cost of this service is higher than a standard carbon-track joystick repair.
Customers should therefore compare this repair with other DualSense Edge TMR joystick upgrades rather than cheaper repairs using conventional replacement sticks.
TMR Joystick Repair vs Replacing the Complete Edge Module
The DualSense Edge was designed with removable joystick modules, allowing a complete module to be replaced when required.
However, replacing the complete module with another standard unit is not the only option when stick drift develops.
Our service repairs and upgrades the joystick mechanism inside your existing removable DualSense Edge module.
This allows the original Edge module to be retained while its conventional carbon-track joystick mechanism is replaced with upgraded TMR magnetic sensing technology.
