Important Notes
-
Select the correct joystick version for your controller.
-
Installation and calibration may be required for optimal performance.
-
For Xbox Series controllers, you need to set a dead zone to avoid interference from the trigger magnets.
-
Actual performance may vary depending on installation, calibration, and controller condition.
Precision-Focused Analog Control. Built for Long-Term Stability.
Engineered with Angle-Sensing TMR technology, the AKNES V7 Joysticks deliver precise analog input, consistent centering, and a refined response curve. Designed for PS5, PS5 Edge, PS4, and Xbox Series X|S controllers, they offer a precision-focused upgrade for compatible controller hardware.
Key Features
Angle-Sensing TMR Technology
Uses angle-sensing Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) technology to provide stable signal response and precise analog input, with reduced sensing-element wear through contactless magnetic detection.
Accurate Centering
Designed to support consistent return-to-center behavior, helping improve directional accuracy and control consistency.
Refined Linearity
An optimized signal response curve helps deliver smoother, more predictable analog input across joystick movement.
Optimized Internal Structure
A refined mechanical and sensing design supports stable operation, consistent control, and long-term reliability.
Rated for 5 Million Rotation Cycles
Engineered for repeated use, with a rated rotational endurance of 5 million cycles and center switch durability exceeding 1 million cycles under specified test conditions.
Performance-Focused Design
In an internal comparison involving 10 tested samples at 3.3V, the V7 Angle-Sensing TMR design demonstrated a lower measured return-to-center error range than the reference linear TMR design.
These results reflect internal testing conditions and do not guarantee identical performance in every controller.
Controller Compatibility
Designed for compatible controllers including:
-
PS5 DualSense
-
PS5 DualSense Edge
-
PS4 DualShock 4
-
Xbox Series X|S
Important Xbox Compatibility Note: Nearby trigger magnets may interfere with joystick signal behavior on Xbox Series controllers. Deadzone adjustment may be necessary to reduce interference, depending on the controller configuration.
Choose Your Kit
AK208 — Standard Set
Includes 2 V7 Angle-Sensing TMR joysticks and 2 standard thumbstick caps. Ideal for a straightforward joystick replacement.
AK209 — Cap Set
Includes 2 V7 Angle-Sensing TMR joysticks and 8 interchangeable thumbstick caps (4 pairs), including 3 pairs of metal-ring caps in different heights and 1 pair of plastic caps. Designed for players who prefer additional customization options.
Both kits use the same Angle-Sensing TMR joystick technology.
Installation & Calibration
Professional installation is recommended. Soldering and calibration may be required after replacing the original joystick modules.
For supported PlayStation controllers, a third-party calibration tool is available at:
https://dualshock-tools.github.io/
For Xbox Series controllers, supported recalibration functions may be available through the Xbox Accessories app.
Calibration availability varies by controller model and firmware. DualSense Edge may require additional wired soldering for calibration.
Manufacturing & Quality
Manufactured by HallPi. Tested by AKNES Community Experts.
Developed with attention to mechanical precision, electrical stability, and long-term performance, with practical testing and feedback from experienced community testers.
Note: Actual performance may vary depending on installation quality, calibration, controller condition, and operating environment. TMR technology reduces wear in the sensing system but does not eliminate every possible cause of joystick drift.
