Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What is the ElecGear 8X FU 10K Trimmer Potentiometer used for? A: The ElecGear 8X FU 10K Trimmer Potentiometer is used as a replacement variable resistor for analog joysticks in controllers, specifically compatible with some PS3, PS4 DualShock, and Nintendo Switch controllers.
  • Q: How do I know if this potentiometer is compatible with my controller? A: To determine compatibility, check if your controller uses a Favor Union potentiometer. This specific 10K version is identified by the printed resistance value of 103 and is not compatible with ALPS joysticks.
  • Q: What problems can this potentiometer solve in my controller? A: Replacing the potentiometer can resolve various joystick issues such as creeping, stuttering, dead zones, and uncentered control sticks, which are often caused by wear and tear of the potentiometer.
  • Q: Can I use this potentiometer in a PS5 DualSense controller? A: Yes, but only if your PS5 DualSense controller contains a Favor Union joystick. In that case, you should choose the 2.3K version instead of the 10K version.
  • Q: What additional items are included with this potentiometer? A: The package includes ten correction resistors designed to help balance the potentiometer and mitigate drifting issues when soldered in parallel.
  • Q: How do I install the ElecGear potentiometer? A: To install the potentiometer, de-solder the faulty sensor from the joystick module and solder the new unit in its place. Calibration may be necessary after installation.
  • Q: What tools do I need for installation? A: You will need a soldering iron, solder, pliers for sensor removal, and possibly a metal pick to clear the holes after de-soldering.
  • Q: Is this potentiometer easy to replace compared to replacing the entire joystick? A: Yes, replacing the potentiometer is generally easier since it has only three pins compared to a full joystick replacement, which can have as many as fourteen prongs.
  • Q: What should I do if my controller still has issues after replacement? A: If problems persist after replacing the potentiometer, further troubleshooting may be necessary, including recalibrating the controller settings or examining other components.
  • Q: Are there any special precautions when using this potentiometer? A: Ensure that you select the correct resistance value before ordering, and follow proper soldering techniques to avoid damaging the controller or the new potentiometer.
