Every controller we sell started out as someone's "broken" one. It's the whole reason we're called Respawn.

Why trust us with your pad

Fixed properly, not patched up

Quality parts

Hall-effect sticks available on request — fix drift permanently, not just for a few months.

Tested on real hardware

Every repair is play-tested before it goes back. If it wouldn't survive a ranked session, it doesn't leave the bench.

3-month warranty

Same fault comes back within 3 months? We fix it again, free, including return postage.

Contact

Prefer to just fire off a message? WhatsApp is usually fastest — send a photo of the controller and what it's doing (or not doing).
