EL1 ALPS 10K for PS4 controllers
4x replacement analog joystick work with PS4 DualShock 4 wireless controllers came with PS4, Slim or Pro. The thumbstick module was made by ALPS. It belongs to RKJXV stick controller series. It comes with 10KΩ potentiometers. We offer two ALPS models for PS4 and PS5. The difference is the resistance value of the potentiometer. Normally, you can distinguish them from the color of the side plastic. EL1 is 10K ohm in gray, while EL6 is 2.1K in black. We strongly suggest measuring the resistance value before ordering. Some PS5 controllers come with green side plastic which is also EL6 2.1K
✔ Replace the wiper alone even without soldering
In some cases, you can just replace the wheel in the potentiometer to solve specific problems like: Stuttering, dead zone, creeping, or not as responsive as it should be
✔ Replace the potentiometer alone with an iron
80% chances of joystick problem are caused by the sensor. In another words, the rotary mechanism and the tactile switches are not the problem. De-soldering the unit with only 3Pin can be easier than replacing the entire module with as many as 14 prongs
✔ A heat gun to replace the whole module
This is the most suggested for an experienced soldering expert
✔ Experts with a normal iron to replace the whole unit
For a soldering expert with no professional de-soldering wick braid, solder sucker pump or hot air rework station at hand. To make it easy, we suggest crushing the problem joystick into small enough pieces with a pair of pliers
✔ By professional technicians in a cellphone repair shop
Suggested for someone with no handy tools
