Standard Replacement or TMR?

Why Repair a Premium Controller?

DualSense Edge and SCUF controllers cost substantially more than standard gamepads. If the rest of the controller is in good condition, replacing and calibrating the worn stick assembly can preserve the controller you already own.

DualSense Edge & SCUF FAQ

Can premium controllers be repaired instead of replaced?

Often, yes. If the fault is limited to the analogue-stick assembly and the controller is otherwise in good condition, joystick replacement can preserve the original controller.

Is TMR available for DualSense Edge and SCUF repairs?

The current Tech Lab service includes both standard and TMR repair options for suitable DualSense Edge and SCUF controllers.

What if the controller has other faults as well?

Additional button, liquid-damage, previous-repair or board faults may need a separate quotation before extra work is carried out.

DualSense Edge or SCUF Drifting?

Choose the appropriate joystick option and book a premium-controller repair without replacing the whole controller.
