Frequently asked
Can stick drift actually be fixed, or do I need a new controller?▾
It's fixable. Drift is caused by a worn thumbstick module, and replacing it costs far less than a new controller. We replace the module, not just clean around it, so the fix lasts.
How much does controller repair cost?▾
Thumbstick replacement on an Xbox or PS5 controller is $45 labor plus the part at cost. Other repairs are quoted after the free diagnostic — you approve the price before we start.
Do you repair Joy-Cons?▾
Yes — Joy-Con drift, rail and button issues. Bring both Joy-Cons if you have them so we can test the pair.
How long does it take?▾
Most controller repairs are same-day to 24–72 hours depending on whether the part is on the shelf.
Is it worth repairing instead of replacing?▾
Usually, yes. A $45-plus-part drift repair beats a $70+ replacement controller, and your repaired controller is covered by our 90-day warranty.
