Stop paying for Sony’s carbon replacement modules. We fit Hall Effect sticks so your DualSense Edge can’t drift again. From £45 — a fraction of a £200 Edge. 12-month warranty. No fix, no fee on the work.
UK mail-in permanent fix for DualSense Edge stick drift. The Edge takes replaceable stick modules — but Sony’s modules are still carbon-contact designs (around £20 each) that drift again in time. We fit Hall Effect sticks instead, which sense position magnetically with no wearing contacts, so the drift physically can’t come back. From £45 (drift-proof Hall Effect fit £55–£75), against £200+ for a new Edge. Free photo quote, 12-month warranty. Typical turnaround is 3–5 working days from arrival at our workshop.

Sony’s replacement stick modules are carbon-contact and drift again. A Hall Effect fit stops the drift for good, so there’s nothing left to keep re-buying.
We fit well-reviewed magnetic-sensing modules from established makers, not no-name clones. Native Edge feel, no drift.
Send a photo and a description of the fault and we’ll tell you honestly what it needs and what it costs before anything is booked in.
Repairs start at £45 and depend on whether one or both sticks are done. A drift-proof Hall Effect fit runs £55–£75. Compare that to Sony’s replacement stick modules at roughly £20 each that drift again, or £200+ for a whole new Edge — a Hall Effect repair is the option that actually ends the drift. You get a firm written quote after the free photo quote, and no chargeable work starts without your approval. No fix, no fee on the work: if we can’t fix it you pay nothing beyond the £15 booking fee, which covers tracked UK return. See full pricing structure (labour tiers, parts at cost, assessment fees).
Turnaround is typically 3-5 working days from arrival at the workshop to return dispatch.
It does, but Sony’s replacement stick modules are still carbon-contact designs — around £20 each and they drift again in time. We fit Hall Effect sticks instead, which use magnetic sensing and can’t wear out, so it’s a one-time permanent fix rather than a part you keep re-buying.
Yes. Hall Effect sticks detect position magnetically with no physical contact between moving parts, so nothing wears out and the drift can’t return. The stick can last the life of the controller.
From £45 depending on whether one or both sticks are done and the exact module used. A drift-proof Hall Effect fit typically runs £55–£75. A new DualSense Edge is £200+, so a repair keeps a premium controller going for a fraction of the cost.
If you’re happy swapping Sony’s £20 carbon modules every several months, that’s an option. But if you want it to stop drifting for good, a Hall Effect fit ends the cycle — no more modules to buy, and no more drift.
Message us with the fault and we’ll send a packing checklist. Post in just the controller (plus any loose stick caps or paddles) in a padded envelope or small box. We diagnose free, quote you, and only start chargeable work once you approve it.
12 months on the work. Hall Effect sticks have a multi-year life expectancy. No fix, no fee on the work: if we can’t fix it you pay nothing beyond the £15 booking fee, which covers tracked UK return.

The culprit is almost always the potentiometer — a small carbon contact disc inside each analogue stick module. Sony uses the same type as the standard DualSense, so the Edge inherits the same weakness. The carbon wears down with use and eventually starts reporting a false position even when you are not touching the stick. That is drift.
Replacement modules from Sony use the same carbon design, which is why drift often returns within months of an official repair. Hall Effect sensors have no physical contact — they read stick position magnetically — so there is nothing to wear out.
A new DualSense Edge costs around £200. Our Hall Effect fix starts at £45. Even with postage both ways, you are spending roughly a quarter of the replacement cost to get a controller that is more drift-resistant than it was the day you bought it. For most people, that is a straightforward call.
Hall Effect replacement modules are available online and there are teardown guides for the Edge. The catch is the Edge has a different stick mounting to the standard DualSense, and calibration matters after fitting. If you are confident with fine electronics disassembly and have steady hands, it is doable. If you slip and damage a flex cable, you turn a stick repair into a much more expensive job — so weigh that up honestly before starting.
Pack it in something padded — bubble wrap and a small cardboard box is fine. Royal Mail Tracked is a reliable option and gives you proof of delivery. Once your controller arrives, we assess it and confirm the repair before starting any work. If we cannot fix it, there is no charge.
Hall Effect stick repairs start at £45. The exact price depends on whether one or both sticks need replacing. We confirm the cost after assessing your controller — no work starts without your go-ahead.
Hall Effect sensors have no physical contact points, so they do not wear the way carbon potentiometers do. The mechanism that causes drift is gone. That is fundamentally different from Sony's carbon replacement modules, which can drift again within months of fitting.
Typically a few working days once your controller arrives. We will confirm when it is booked in and keep you updated if anything changes.
Yes, if you are confident with fine electronics disassembly. The Edge is fiddlier than the standard DualSense, and a torn flex cable during teardown can make the repair significantly more expensive. If you are not certain, mailing it in is usually cheaper than recovering from a DIY slip.
It covers the Hall Effect stick module we fitted and the repair work itself. If the stick drifts again due to a fault related to our repair within 12 months, we will fix it at no charge. Accidental damage or unrelated faults are not covered.
