I have received chipped version of joysticks.

Well, the only suggestion I have is to solder thumbsticks as is to the Pro Contoller's mothetboard, but cut the axis traces and overtake them by wiring the daughterboard and rewiring output contacts of daughterboard back to Pro Controller's motherboard🤷‍♂️ Or try and work this out with the help of Joy-Con Toolkit.

I suspect there are no versions sold without a chip. Sellers just have a misleading representation of an item🫤

If you have a steam deck, maybe you could try centering the joysticks and finishing calibration on the steam deck before desoldering and fitting it on to a Pro Controller motherboard?

Unfortunately, it does not work like that. Calibration is controlled and adjusted by the chip itself. Steam deck would only provide visual interface in this regard. A simple desoldering of a thumbstick alone after the calibration on a Steam Deck would not provide the required effect, as the thumbstick itself does not turn out to be a standalone device.

Of course, there is an SPI on the Pro Controller motherboard that shall bare all of those adjustments, which I have deemed in this thread before. It could be that it is just the matter of manipulation with Joy-Con Toolkit that separates us from a success🥲

I guess we need to wait until Marius Heier releases his product on Tindie then.

So these PCB's are what help with these K-Silver rockers being calibrated on any controller? In that case, I may have to get another spare pair of the Steam Deck modules again. As for the PCB's I wonder when they'll be released.

If only we could get the K-Silver rockers instead of just purchasing a lot of these modules.
Yep, they seem to work in the same way as the daughterboards of Steam Deck's K-Silver Joysticks. So, basically, it seems to be possible to hook K-Silver's daughterboard up as I suggested earlier.

We'll have to follow his bilibili channel for further updates. It may only be available in China. Hope it would be accessible through a local agent in China to start selling these boards in Etsy.

It might be on a different site for these specific PCB's to be sold though. It could either be Ebay, it could be any video game part website, etc.

For PS5 just buy the dualsense edge.
Yes but I want to try out the new hall effects plus calibration board that I see on bilibili that can be installed on ps4 \ ps5 and Xbox controllers but not available on eBay ,Amazon or Ali express . I understand that Marius - H has almost completed his hall sense effect that process faster .

It is not worth the hassle for PS5, For PS4 or Xbox maybe, just a hassle to take it apart and solder like daughter board on to the main board and do all that work.

Don't forget: The Switch Pro Controller does use the same ALPS Joysticks like the Xbox and PlayStation controllers.
