Featuring a 10K ohm resistance and a simplified 3-pin design, it enables easy installation and effective correction of joystick drift with included resistors. Compatible with multiple FU joystick models, this potentiometer restores smooth, accurate control and extends the life of your gaming hardware. ## Description FU 10K Potentiometer 8x OEM replacement variable resistor was made by Favor Union (FU). It fits analog joysticks made by FU. This 10K ohm version was found in some PS3, PS4 DualShock controllers. FU reported that this orange sensor was also used in some Nintendo Switch, Hori, PDP, BDA (Power A) controllers 1. Solve most of joystick problems: 80% chances of joystick problems were caused by the potentiometer. In another words, the rotary mechanism and the tactile switches are not the problem. You can simply replace the side potentiometer sensor alone to solve most of the joystick problems 2. Additional resistors included: Complicated moving mechanism and daily wear and tear can cause drifting, and even new potentiometers can not be 100% balanced. Calibrating in controller settings might not work. Please solder one or more paralleled resistors at the opposite direction against drifting Compatibility Notes: 1.FU potentiometers do not work with joysticks made by ALPS 2.FU sensors come in two different resistance values. This 10K version was printed 103. Please make sure the resistance value is about 10K ohm before ordering 3.Please choose 2.3K version for some PS5 DualSense with FU joystick inside ## Features - [FU 10KΞ© Potentiometer] –The replacement variable resistor was made by Favor Union (FU). It fits analog joysticks made by FU. This 10K ohm version was found in some PS3, PS4 DualShock controllers. FU reported that this orange sensor was also used in some Nintendo Switch, Hori, PDP, BDA (Power A) controllers - [Compatibility] – FU sensors come in two different resistance values. This 10K version was printed 103. Make sure the value is around 10K ohm before ordering. (Be noticed: Choose 2.3KΞ© version for some PS5 DualSense if you found FU joysticks inside. The potentiometer in orange made by FU is not compatible with joysticks made by ALPS.) - [Additional Resistor] – Complicated moving mechanism and daily wear and tear finally caused drifting. Even new sensors cannot be 100% balanced. Calibrating in controller settings might not work. We packed 10x correction resistors to solve the potential problem in hardware level. Solder one or two paralleled tiny resistors onto the potentiometer at the opposite direction against drifting. It will help correct 3 to 5 degrees drifting - [For most joystick problem] – The potentiometer sensor needs to be replaced when the controller has the problem of creeping, stuttering, a blind spot, a dead spot, a dead zone, or it wouldn't center after years of wear and tear. De-soldering the unit with only 3Pins will be a lot easier than replacing the entire joystick with as many as 14 prongs - [Reminder of Replacement] – Use a pair of pliers to separate the problem sensor off the joystick module. Try to replace the wiper first, see if it works. De-solder the sensor off the PCB. A metal pick helps to clear the holes. Soldering the new unit in is a breeze. Remember to calibrate the new control sticks in settings ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09YJ2DCKS | | Best Sellers Rank | 35,286 in PC & Video Games ( See Top 100 in PC & Video Games ) 1,803 in PlayStation 4 Accessories | | Customer reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (68) | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Item model number | FU-10K | | Package Dimensions | 13.1 x 8.9 x 0.9 cm; 4.54 g | ## Images ![ElecGear 8x FU 10K Trimmer Potentiometer Replacement for some PS3, PS4 DualShock, Switch Pro Wireless Controllers, Trim Pot Resistor Thumbstick Module 3pin Sensor for Favor Union Analog Joystick - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41nPbTkcvgL.jpg) ![ElecGear 8x FU 10K Trimmer Potentiometer Replacement for some PS3, PS4 DualShock, Switch Pro Wireless Controllers, Trim Pot Resistor Thumbstick Module 3pin Sensor for Favor Union Analog Joystick - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41NWmbCxEyL.jpg) ![ElecGear 8x FU 10K Trimmer Potentiometer Replacement for some PS3, PS4 DualShock, Switch Pro Wireless Controllers, Trim Pot Resistor Thumbstick Module 3pin Sensor for Favor Union Analog Joystick - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41aZpFElw1L.jpg) ![ElecGear 8x FU 10K Trimmer Potentiometer Replacement for some PS3, PS4 DualShock, Switch Pro Wireless Controllers, Trim Pot Resistor Thumbstick Module 3pin Sensor for Favor Union Analog Joystick - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610g-Iu0MZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - ElecGear 8X ALPS 10K Replacement Potentiometer + 4X Drift Fix PCB for PS4, Xbox, Elite, Switch Pro Wireless Controllers, Trim Pot Resistor Thumbstick Module Sensor for ALPS Analog Joystick - Lesnow solder wick braid 10ft Length Desoldering Wick Braid Remover Tool Solder Sucker 1 piece No-Clean soldering Wick Wire Roll and Disassemble Electrical Components - ElecGear Replacement Joystick and Drift Fix PCB for Controllers, Analog Stick Controller Sensor Thumbsticks for PS5, PS4, Xbox, Xbox Elite, Switch Pro and more by ALPS and FU, Models from EL1 to EL7 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/435493640-elecgear-8x-fu-10k-trimmer-potentiometer-replacement-for-some-ps3](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/435493640-elecgear-8x-fu-10k-trimmer-potentiometer-replacement-for-some-ps3) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
