Solución al problema del drift del DualSense de PS5 sin gastar un centavo [SPA/ENG]

avatar

Desde hace tiempo vengo sufriendo de drift en mi mando de PS5, para los que no saben que es drift, es el movimiento solo de alguno de los joystick del mando sin que nosotros lo toquemos, esto puede ser muy molesto en cualquier juego, pero para un shooter como Warzone lo es aún más porque cuando disparas ese movimiento involuntario hace que falles muchas balas.

Solution to PS5 DualSense drift problem without spending a penny

For quite some time now, I've been experiencing drift with my PS5 controller. For those who aren't familiar, drift refers to the unintended movement of a joystick without any physical input. This can be extremely frustrating in any game, but it's especially problematic in shooters like Warzone, where accidental movements can cause you to miss shots.

La solución que sueles encontrar en internet de toda personas que trabaja a nivel técnico electrónico las reparaciones de consolas y periférico, es que se debes reemplazar el joystick que sufra de drift, incluso algunos ofrecen colocar joysticks magnéticos que son más duraderos pero con un costo mínimo de 25$ c/u, si debe cambiar los dos, es preferible comprar un mando nuevo. El mando de ps5 parece sufrir mucho de drift, en cambio, el de PS4 es realmente un todo terreno.

The typical solution offered by electronics repair technicians is to replace the affected joystick. Some even suggest installing magnetic joysticks, which are more durable but can cost upwards of $25 each. If both joysticks need replacing, it might be more cost-effective to buy a new controller. The PS5 controller seems to be particularly prone to drift, unlike its more robust PS4 counterpart.



Me niego a pensar que esa sea la única solución, así que revisando en Internet si alguna persona dio solución a este problema sin reemplazar los joysticks por nuevos, encontré muchos consejos, algunos nada técnicos y muchos otros sin sentido, pero todos convergen en un punto, que el driff lo origina el sucio. Con esa idea en mente cambie mi búsqueda por: ¿Como limpiar el joystick de PS5? Encontrando así la cuenta de un técnico en reparación que enseñaba cómo hacerlo.

I refused to believe that replacement was the only option, so I started researching online for potential solutions that didn't involve purchasing new parts. I found countless suggestions, some more helpful than others, but they all seemed to converge on a common theme: drift is often caused by dirt and debris. Armed with this knowledge, I refined my search to "how to clean a PS5 joystick" and eventually stumbled upon a repair technician's guide.




Como abrir el mando y acceder a su circuito

Memorice el procedimiento y aquí se los comparto. Lo primero es saber abrir el mando, a primera vista no tiene tornillos, supuse que se trataba de sujetadores a presión, y efectivamente lo primero es quitar los botones de R1 que esconden los tornillos, y debajo la parte plástica negra que esconde dos tornillos más. Luego de quitarlos poco a poco se separan las dos partes blancas del mando para finalmente acceder a su interior.

Disassembling the Controller

First, you'll need to open the controller. At first glance, it doesn't appear to have any screws, but it's actually held together by clips. Start by removing the R1 buttons to expose the screws underneath. There are two more screws hidden beneath a black plastic cover. Once you've removed all the screws, you can carefully pry apart the two white halves of the controller to access the internal components.

El siguiente paso es tener mucho cuidado con los cables planos o flex. Primero se retira el de la batería, con sumo cuidado, recomiendo una pinza pequeña para que con suavidad puedas retirar el conector, si lo haces muy fuerte puedes desprenderlo de la placa del circuito, cuya reparación es muy difícil. Luego se quitan los flex del micrófono, jack de audio y sensores apticos. Los cables de los motores eléctricos que dan el efecto de vibración están soldados, esos se quedan así, podemos trabajar el joystick al voltear la placa del circuito.

Be extremely cautious when handling the flexible flat cables inside. Start by gently disconnecting the battery cable using a small pair of tweezers. Apply minimal force to avoid damaging the delicate connector. Next, remove the cables for the microphone, audio jack, and haptic feedback sensors. The motors responsible for vibration are soldered in place and can be left alone. By flipping the circuit board, you'll gain access to the joystick.

Joystick resistivos, la tecnología mas vieja del mercado

Lo que viene trataré de explicarlo lo más simple que pueda. El joystick tiene dos partes que sensan el movimiento, una para subir y bajar (eje y) y para los lados izquierda y derecha (eje x) la combinación de ambos nos da movilidad diagonal. Esto es importante porque debemos tener claro qué parte del joystick vamos abrir según el movimiento involuntario que tengamos, en mi caso el movimiento es hacia la izquierda siempre, por eso identificado que parte del joystick es la que entran en movimiento lateral, esa es la que abriré.

Understanding Resistive Joysticks

Let me try to explain the technology behind these joysticks as simply as possible. Each joystick has two components that sense movement: one for the up/down axis (Y-axis) and one for the left/right axis (X-axis). The combination of these movements allows for diagonal movement. It's important to identify which part of the joystick is causing the drift so you can target your cleaning efforts. In my case, the joystick was drifting to the left, so I focused on the horizontal component.




Vaya sorpresa me lleve al abrir el joystick, resulta que es la tecnología más vieja del mercado, la resistiva, y antes que me digan que el mando de Xbox es mejor, les informo que usa el mismo joystick. Lo curioso es que tanto Sony como Microsoft disminuyen costos con esta tecnología pudiendo utilizar joystick ópticos o magnéticos, pero sabemos que no quieren que sus controles duren mucho en nuestras manos y que tengamos que gastar comprando uno nuevo, pero me niego hacerlo.

When I opened up the joystick, I was surprised to discover that it uses a resistive technology that is quite old. Before you Xbox fans start bragging about your superior controllers, let me just say that they use the same type of joystick. It's strange that both Sony and Microsoft would cut costs by using this outdated technology when they could easily implement optical or magnetic joysticks. It seems like they're intentionally designing their controllers to fail so that consumers will have to buy new ones.


Como funsionan los joysticks y porque se origina el drift

La parte plástica verde que se ve en la foto es la que tiene en su interior unas pistas resistivas hecha de carbono, estas están en contacto con la parte que se mueve del joystick a través de varios contactos, para ser precisos se puede alcanzar a ver 4. Según la hoja del fabricante de estos joystick, la empresa Alps, estos soportan 2.000.000 de ciclos, haciendo una cuenta rápida para los que jugamos shooters podemos hacer cerca de 100 rotaciones del joystick por minuto, así que esos 2 millones de ciclos se alcanzan en 26 mil minutos o un poco más de 200 días.

How Joysticks Work and Why They Drift

The green plastic component inside the joystick contains resistive tracks made of carbon. These tracks make contact with the moving part of the joystick through several contact points. According to the joystick manufacturer, Alps, these components are rated for 2 million cycles. If we assume that a gamer makes about 100 rotations of the joystick per minute during intense gameplay, those 2 million cycles will be used up in a little over 200 days.




En otras palabras, en 7 meses aproximadamente nuestro joystick está desgastado, la pista de carbono interna debido a la fricción empieza a desprender pequeñas partículas de material, ese material que se desprende es el causante del movimiento involuntario, esto no ocurriría con un potenciómetro electromagnético. Por esta razón para alargar un poco la vida del control, destapó el potenciómetro para retirar ese material de la pista de carbono que se desprendió.

In other words, your joystick is essentially worn out after about seven months. The friction between the moving parts causes tiny carbon particles to break off and accumulate on the resistive tracks. This debris can interfere with the electrical signals sent to the controller, resulting in unintended movements.


Como limpiar el joystick

Con mucha suavidad muevo la parte verde hacia afuera, solo se le inclina un poco porque está soldada a la placa del circuito, saco el contacto que recorre la pista de carbono para limpiarlo también. Con un hisopo y alcohol isopropílico límpio ambas partes.

Cleaning the Joystick

To clean the joystick, gently pry off the green plastic component. Be careful, as it's soldered to the circuit board. Remove the contact that slides along the resistive track. Using an isopropyl alcohol swab, carefully clean both the track and the contact.

photo_2024-08-12_13-10-43.jpg
photo_2024-08-12_13-10-50.jpg

Se puede apreciar en el hisopo las pequeñas partículas de material de carbono que se desprende por el roce del potenciómetro. Es casi imperceptible pero efectivamente ese material desprendido puede ser el causante de enviar una señal equivocada al microcontrolador del mando, ya que al ser un elemento resistivo, le recorre un voltaje que varía según la posición del joystick.

You can see in the swab the small particles of carbon material that is detached by the friction of the potentiometer. It is almost imperceptible but effectively this detached material can be the cause of sending a wrong signal to the microcontroller of the controller, since being a resistive element, it has a voltage that varies according to the position of the joystick.

Con este análisis y este sencillo paso a paso espero tu también te animes a corregir el drift de tu mando, no tiene que ser uno de PS5, te puedo asegurar que todos los mandos de consola usan el mismo modelo de joystick. Esto puede alargar la vida del control unos meses más, pero si el drift que sufres es muy fuerte, lo más seguro es que el desgaste es demasiado y eso sí requiere el reemplazo de la pieza, te recomiendo llevarlo a servicio técnico y preguntar por los joysticks magnéticos.

With this analysis and this simple step by step I hope you also encourage to correct the drift of your controller, it doesn't have to be one of PS5, I can assure you that all console controllers use the same joystick model. This can extend the life of the controller a few more months, but if the drift you suffer is very strong, most likely the wear is too much and that does require the replacement of the part, I recommend you take it to technical service and ask for magnetic joysticks.

Just going to leave my response to the one out of thousand previous comments you left today.

People only tolerate you for the votes
Interesting, considering I don't vote anyone.

You vote on you're own spam comments every day @buildawhale to earn curation rewards. There are many authors on Hive whom you could support, but you choose not to you keep it to yourself don't you Marcus? You are no good Marcus.

I used to vote over 200 unique authors a day, many of which my vote was their only significant vote, and for over a year every post and every vote I would make would get downvoted for $50 because someone was sad I stopped the abuse they were voting on. I lost my ability to choose what I vote on years ago. It has finally stopped, so I started the burn posts to reduce the inflation due to the wreckless DHF spending. Of course I earn curation rewards, like every single person on Hive. I will not be the only person on Hive to forfeit curation rewards, and to expect that is ridiculous. You are one to talk about spam comments, you are spamming hundreds if not thousands of comments a day.
