    Module spec

    Standard vs TMR.

    Lower error means tighter aim. TMR reads the stick with magnets, so nothing wears out.

    Standard

    Potentiometer
    16%
    Max drift error

    The factory default. Contact parts wear down over time and the drift comes back.

    TMR

    Magnetic

    Max drift error

    Contactless magnetic sensing. More accurate on day one and still accurate years later.

    Questions

    Before you ship it.

    We replace the thumbstick module on each stick you pick, reset it to factory zero and calibrate it before it ships back. The bench fee covers teardown, calibration and return prep, and it's already in the price you see.

    It fixes the large majority of drift. If yours needs more than a module swap, like a new circuit board, we'll contact you first. Any extra parts plus return shipping are on the customer in that case.

    An estimated 5-6 weeks from the day your controller reaches Davison, Michigan. Add Rush service to jump the queue.

    Pick Left, Right or Both for the sticks that drift. TMR uses magnets instead of parts that rub together, so the drift doesn't come back. Standard is a fresh factory-style module.

    Stop fighting your own stick.

    Send it to the bench and get it back calibrated to factory zero. Hand-built in Michigan since 2013.
