    • After removing the screws, just pull the back off of the controller. There aren't any cables attached to it.

Hello, I got this one (wired version) and I want to change joysticks as they are pretty much trash for analog control (joystick sensitivity). I want to use potenciometer ones as they are mostly used in premium brands such as microsoft and sony. What can I use? are there any things to be aware of? Any compatibility issues? I know how to disassemble it and solder it on. I just need to know which to get. I found ones from local shop called "Potenciometr Joystick PS4 JDM-055". ******Thanks for any response and have a great day :)
