PS4, PS5 & Xbox Controller TMR “Hall Effect” Stick Upgrades
Most people call it a hall effect stick upgrade. The actual sensor 1UP installs is TMR because it is more accurate, more reliable, and less affected by the trigger magnets that can throw off Xbox controllers.
What We Handle
PS4, PS5, and Xbox controller stick replacement and drift correction
TMR sensor upgrades described in the language people search for as hall effect

Why People Bring It Here
The key point here is that 1UP understands the sensor difference, installs TMR upgrades, and can explain why that matters for long-term controller performance.
Familiar term, better hardware
People know the phrase “hall effect,” but the upgrade going in is TMR because that is the better part.
Better reliability for Xbox
Lower magnetic interference from trigger magnets is part of why TMR is the better fit.
Upgrade, not just replacement
The goal is a stronger end result than putting another failure-prone stock part back in.
What To Expect
Fast answer first
Most people just need to know if it is worth fixing, whether parts are in stock, and what the next step is. That answer should come quickly.
Deeper failures stay in-house
If the problem goes past the obvious broken part, the job should keep moving instead of turning into guesswork or a handoff.
Clear next step
Walk in, request a repair quote, or use mail-in if you are outside the area. The next step should be obvious once the issue is clear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why say hall effect if you use TMR?
Because that is still the term most people search for. The important part is that the installed upgrade is TMR, and that is the better technology.
Do you work on Xbox controllers too?
Yes. Xbox is exactly where the lower magnetic interference matters.
Can I still just get drift repaired?
Yes. The right path depends on the controller, the symptom, and whether you want a simple fix or a stronger long-term upgrade.
