I just did it yesterday after receiving all the parts from Ali express, it took me like 2/3 hours to do it gently/safely, and it worked so well im impressed ! Very smooth and precise, thank you so much for this tutorial brother, life changer :D I've just cleaned the TWCS potentiometer with contact cleaner too, now everything works perfectly fine ! By the way i was thinking about maybe replacing this potentiometer (twcs) to a hall effect sensor but i don't know how to do it. Cleaning it was easier haha. Thank you man!

HI, I got the same hall sensor and magnets and apply them to my control, it is working and I had no trouble to center the neutral position, the problem I have is sensitivity, with just 50% of the physical movement to turn left or right, the system says It has got 100% of possible movement, what should I try? to change the ammount of magnets? or change the distance of hall sensor to magnets... thanks in advance

Sorry for the late reply. I can only suggest getting the sensor slightly farther away from the magnets. Or increasing the amount of magnets so it’s a longer column.

Topman for making this video, it fixed my rotational Z axis straight away. I used N42 8mm x 1mm magnets with a 95a Hall sensor as they were easy to obtain. Followed the guide step by step and it works flawlessly. I was a little unsure if they would be strong enough, perhaps I'd have to adjust the sensor distance from it, but it has worked with no problems. Only day two since installation, if any issues come up I will update this post.

Replaced mine with a Mouser Electronics 251B12T104A2NB potentiometer. Direct replacement for the original and still working after 18 months. I'm sure the hall sensor works fine, but there's no need to add the complexity. It's a simple direct replacement to unsolder the three wires and re-solder to the new part. Job done.

Almost had this all done. It was hooked up to the computer and it was working. When I went to put the two halves of the handle on to test and see if I needed to add any more magnets, the joystick became totally undetectable. Tried on another computer and it just doesn't exist any more. Just don't buy these. These are absolute trash.

Because 2 separate magnets will each have both a + and - pole, confusing the sensor. Whereas a line of connected magnets will only have one + pole at one end and one - pole at the other end.

Many people asked in the comments about using magnets of a different size, or a different sensor, like the 49e. I've managed to do this with 1×4 mm magnets and a 49e sensor, (those were the only ones I had available in my country). The 49e sensor works like the 95a from the video, so no problem. (If in doubt, ask ChatGPT). I can tell you that IT WORKS PERFECTLY… BUT, you will have to get your magnets much closer to the sensor for it to work properly. I glued a small plastic cap to function as a “base” or stand for the magnets so that they are much closer to the sensor (this is specially important if your magnets are smaller, and consequently, weaker). My sensor is almost touching the magnets. You will have to spend some time, however, calibrating the position of the magnets, and adding and removing magnets. (There is no set number, it depends on how close they are to the sensor, and the positioning), but I think I used around 9 or 10 (bought 15 for safety). Try removing some from the left side/right side, until the axis movement is equal on both sides (use gamepad-tester.com/ for this). I applied, removed, and reapplied the hot glue that held the magnets in place many times in this step. Good luck, people, this is an excellent fix that will last for many years, and THANK YOU, @TheKlaxon !!!

Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial, got my T16000m working again! For the hall sensor, I can only get a submodel SS495A1 at my local store. 95A1 is slightly different in sensitivity compared to SS495A, but I can confirm that the submodel works perfectly well too.

I've got experience with electronics, but your guide on this was invaluable. I haven't closed it up and tried it with a game yet, but I've just finished the 'magnet calibration' part and have a good working yaw action again. Just waiting for the hot glue to set properly this time :)

Thanks for this video. I made this modification today and it works beautifully. Used a double-sided adhesive tape to determine the optimal position and number of magnets, then I glued them in place. Used sixteen 8x0.8mm magnets. Recommend calibrating the joystick afterward. Extreme precision achieved.

Thanks a million! back up and running with my stick after only about $5 and a couple hours replacing the sensor. I ended up needing a small deadzone in the center (3 degrees or so) because the springs are pretty bad at correctly centering the yaw, but otherwise this mod works great! Another thing to note if you're reading the comments for some additional guidance: I couldn't find the 8x1mm magnets in n52 spec anywhere, so I bought 20 6x1mm magnets instead and while I had to lay a bed of hot glue under them to raise them a couple mm for the sensor they work just fine. I only actually ended up with 10 or so magnets in the stick but I'd get at least 15 for redundancy. Frankly this should have been a hall sensor from the factory, but I'm pretty pleased with how easy the mod was so overall not that bothered.

I wish I would've had this video when I attempted this on my 1st gen t16000m. I couldn't figure out the magnets and eventually gave up. Lucily back in 2010 the stick only cost me a little over $26 new. If you get the VKB Gladiator NXT, I'd like to see you do a review. That's the stick I've been dreaming about for a while now. For now I use a SidewinderFFB2.
