Title:

What temperature to use for soldering on dualsense controller?

Text:

I purchased the soldering kit so I can fix stick drift on my dualsense controller. Planning to replace them with the Gulikit TMR joysticks. It's my first time soldering/desoldering.

The soldering iron included does not have temperature control but

it maintains a temperature of 460-485 degrees celcius.

The included solder's melting point is 227 degrees celcius.

I've watched the ifixit video "How to Fix PS5 Joystick Drift for Good!" and the temperature used was 400 celcius.

Is this okay to use if I keep minimal contact time and use the iron when it's not fully heated up or is it too hot/risky and will damage the board?

-PlayStation 5
