What we repair on your controller

  • Joystick drift — the cursor moves by itself: we replace the analog stick module (PS5, Xbox, Joy-Con).
  • Buttons and triggers — stuck buttons, broken L2/R2 or LT/RT triggers, springs, DualSense adaptive triggers.
  • Charging port and battery — controller won’t charge, battery won’t hold, ripped USB-C port.
  • Connectivity — controller won’t pair over Bluetooth or disconnects mid-game.
  • Liquid damage — internal cleaning after a spill.

Is stick drift really fixable?

Yes. Drift comes from a worn potentiometer inside the stick module. We replace the whole module — on Joy-Cons, DualSense and Xbox controllers alike — which fixes the problem at the source. Same-day service available for many common repairs, depending on model, parts and damage.

Repair or replace?

We’ll tell you straight after the free diagnostic: if the controller is too far gone for a repair to be worth it, we’ll say so. The console itself can also be the culprit — if the problem is on that side, see our PlayStation repair, Xbox repair and game console repair in Montreal pages.

How it works

Walk in any time at 757 Beaubien East, Montreal (one minute from Beaubien metro), 7 days a week, 8:30 to 21:00. Free on-the-spot diagnostic, 1-year warranty on the repair, 5,600+ Google reviews at 4.9★. Open late — see our extended opening hours — or call 438-938-6696.

Is the console itself the problem? For the screen, the USB-C port or a Switch that will not charge, see Nintendo Switch repair in Montreal.

PS5 controller repair (DualSense) in Montreal

The PS5 DualSense is the controller we see most at the shop. The most common problems: stick drift, L2/R2 adaptive triggers that lose resistance or get stuck, unresponsive buttons, a USB-C port that no longer charges and a battery that drains too fast. We open the controller, find the faulty part and give you a firm quote before any work.

PS5 controller stick drift: replacing the joystick module

Drift comes from wear on the analog module’s sensors. Cleaning can fix a mild case, but the lasting fix is replacing the module, which is soldered to the board. That is micro-soldering work done on site by our technicians — your controller is not shipped anywhere.

DualSense charging port, battery and triggers

A controller that won’t charge usually has a worn or loose USB-C port, sometimes a battery at the end of its life. Adaptive triggers that click or no longer push back can be repaired too: we check the mechanism and the motor before recommending a fix.

Xbox controllers and Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 Joy-Con

We also repair Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One controllers (drift, triggers, LB/RB bumpers, charging port) and Nintendo Switch Joy-Con as well as Switch 2 Joy-Con 2: drift, SL/SR buttons, rails and connectors.

Free diagnostic, 1-year warranty on the repair, walk-ins 7 days a week at 757 Beaubien Street East, one minute from Beaubien metro. For the console itself, see our PlayStation repair in Montreal page.
