It addresses common joystick issues like drifting, dead zones, and stuttering by allowing easy replacement of the potentiometer sensor with a simple 3-pin solder process. Compatible with multiple platforms and including a drift-fix PCB for fine calibration, this module extends controller lifespan and ensures pro-grade responsiveness. ## Description ALPS 10K Potentiometer 8x OEM trim pot resistor was made by ALPS. It fits ALPS analog joysticks. This trimmer potentiometer works with PS3, PS4 DualShock 4 series (PS4, Slim and Pro), Xbox One series (Xbox One, One S|X), Elite Series 1 and 2, and newest Xbox Series S|X. It’s also compatible with Nintendo Switch Pro and some 3rd party controllers like ‘Scuf’ and ‘Razer Raiju Ultimate’ with 10KΩ ALPS thumbstick module inside 1. Solve most of joystick problems: 80% chances of joystick problems were caused by the potentiometer. In another words, the rotary mechanism and the tactile switches are not the problem. You can simply replace the side potentiometer sensor alone to solve most of the problems 2. Additional resistors included: Complicated moving mechanism and daily wear and tear can cause drifting, and even new potentiometers can not be 100% balanced. Calibrating in controller settings might not work. Please solder one or more paralleled resistors at the opposite direction against drifting Compatibility Notes: 1.ALPS version is not interchangeable with the orange version made by Favor Union 2.ALPS potentiometers come in two different resistance values. Never judge its value by its color. Please make sure the resistance value is 10K ohm before ordering 3.Please choose 2.1K ohm for PS5 DualSense and some rare PS4 controllers ## Features - [ALPS 10KΩ Potentiometer] – The OEM trim pot resistor was made by ALPS. It fits ALPS analog joysticks. This trimmer potentiometer works with PS3, PS4 DualShock 4 series (PS4, Slim and Pro), Xbox One series (Xbox One, One S|X), Elite Series 1 and 2, and newest Xbox Series S|X. It’s also compatible with Nintendo Switch Pro and some 3rd party controllers like ‘Scuf’ and ‘Razer Raiju Ultimate’ with 10KΩ ALPS thumbstick module inside - [Compatibility] – ALPS sensors come in two different resistance values. Make sure the value is around 10K ohm before ordering. Never judge its value by its color. (Be noticed: Choose 2.1KΩ version for PS5 DualSense and some rare PS4 controllers. ALPS version is not interchangeable with the orange version made by FU.) - [Additional Drift Fix PCB] – Several factors cause joystick drifting a common issue. Even new joysticks can drift. The potentiometer was born without precision. Wear to the carbon film, spring fatigue and material stretching made it not centered. Dust, moisture and drop make it worse. We packed PCB to fix the problem of drifting in one direction. Simply adjust the variable resistor to eliminate the drifting - [For most joystick problem] – The potentiometer sensor needs to be replaced when the controller has the problem of creeping, stuttering, a blind spot, a dead spot, a dead zone, or it wouldn't center after years of wear and tear. De-soldering the unit with only 3Pins will be a lot easier than replacing the entire joystick with as many as 14 prongs - [Reminder of Replacement] – Use a pair of pliers to separate the problem sensor off the joystick module. Try to replace the wiper first, see if it works. De-solder the sensor off the PCB. A metal pick helps to clear the holes. Soldering the new unit in is a breeze. Remember to calibrate the new control sticks in settings ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B09KVG19C1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,545 in Videogames (See Top 100 in Videogames) #676 in PlayStation 4 Accessories | | Item Model Number | ALPS-10K | | Manufacturer | ElecGear | | Package Dimensions | 12.9 x 8.8 x 1.2 cm; 10 g | ## Images ![8X ALPS 10K Replacement Potentiometer + Drift Fix PCB for PS4, Xbox, Elite, Switch Pro Wireless Controllers, Trim Pot Resistor Thumbstick Module Sensor for ALPS Analog Joystick - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61suk5mIiIL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Pay a bit more for better quality resistors. Those are not uniform. *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 22 October 2023* They have bad characteristics. Wanted to get rid of my stick drift on Xbox. Had to go through 4 of them. After replacing the first, second and third the stick was working but it was very fast horizontally on original box resistor and very slowly responding vertically on those ones.Doesn't recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accurate and OE quality *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 March 2025* Perfect replacement and the included adjustment pcb was a very welcome addition but not needed in my case. The one I replaced was dead accurate immediately after installation per the Xbox calibration screen ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great so far. *by on Reviewed in the United States 10 December 2025* Replaced just the inside sensor from this at first. Didn't work.Soldered in two for two different controllers and both work great so far. Might update if they fail soon.Walmart xbox one x controllers. ## Frequently Bought Together - ElecGear 8X ALPS 10K Replacement Potentiometer + 4X Drift Fix PCB for PS4, Xbox, Elite, Switch Pro Wireless Controllers, Trim Pot Resistor Thumbstick Module Sensor for ALPS Analog Joystick - Lesnow solder wick braid 10ft Length Desoldering Wick Braid Remover Tool Solder Sucker 1 piece No-Clean soldering Wick Wire Roll and Disassemble Electrical Components - ElecGear Replacement Joystick and Drift Fix PCB for Controllers, Analog Stick Controller Sensor Thumbsticks for PS5, PS4, Xbox, Xbox Elite, Switch Pro and more by ALPS and FU, Models from EL1 to EL7 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/403289281-8x-alps-10k-replacement-potentiometer-drift-fix-pcb-for-ps4](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/403289281-8x-alps-10k-replacement-potentiometer-drift-fix-pcb-for-ps4) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-07-03*
