Xbox Controller Drift Repair — TMR Stick Upgrade Australia
Xbox controllers drift for the same reason DualSense and Joy-Con do — carbon-film potentiometer wear. We replace with TMR modules — magnetic tunnel sensors, no contact wear, immune to drift. From $90 (both sticks $150).

The TMR anti-drift stick upgrade is $90 for one stick, $150 if both need replacing. We confirm the final price before any work starts. Decide not to proceed and it's just our standard $88 service fee plus postage.
How does mail-in work?
We email you a prepaid, insured AusPost label. You drop it at any post office. We diagnose it and quote a fixed price. If you approve the repair, a flat $100 shipping (both ways, fully insured) is added to your invoice on top of the repair — nothing to pay upfront. If you decide not to go ahead, it's just our standard $88 service fee plus the shipping.
What if it can't be fixed?
Insured return post, or we'll buy your device for trade-in credit — you choose. If you want the device back unrepaired, our standard $88 service fee plus postage applies.
What's the warranty?
3-month workmanship warranty — if our work fails, ever, we re-do it. TMR stick upgrades use magnetic sensors with no contact wear, so the sticks themselves are immune to drift.
