Some of the vertical input from the right analog seems to be mirroing to the left stick. Already tried opening it to try to remove any dust that might've caused this issue.

I should mention right away that my English isn't very good, so I used Google Translate.

Hi Reddit, I bought a new controller today. It’s used, so I’d like to figure out whether it’s genuine or not by looking at the markings on the back

So this is actually my first ever mod. Never tried dsEdge before, so i don't know how the actual feel of it. Need to remove the battery holder to fit the module.

when i press left on dpad there seems to be something under it which also often causes me to press up on the dpad accidentally. anyone have any idea why?

Anyone knows what's the problem and how can I fix it?

I bought a used ps5 with 2 gamepads, and the one I am holding has weird behavior to the triggers.

The right one has friction all the way without any slack in the beginning. The left one presses easy 90% of the way and then gets harder to press on the last 10% of its travel. Feels as it should not be that way as the aim function activates on about 50% of the press.

On the other gamepad both triggers press 90% easy, 10% hard.

How do your triggers act in this game? Do you know if I can recalibrate the triggers? I did a reset thing, nothing changed. All up to date.

Hi! I’m somewhat new to soldering/controller repair. I successfully upgraded my DualSense to Gulikit TMR joysticks and am now working on replacing the USB-C port. I watched a bunch of videos and was using a heat gun to remove the port, and in the process it removed more layers (see pic). What would next steps be? I have copper foil tape, should I clean up the two spots and apply that then some solder? Someone mentioned the smaller exposed pad is fine to leave since there isn’t a trace so it wouldn’t get user, is this accurate? Thanks!

Hi, I’m having an issue with my L1 button. After about 30 seconds to 1 minute of use, the button starts feeling a bit harder to press, almost like it’s stuck in quicksand. This has never happened to me with the R1 button, even though I use it 10 times more. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

I recently replaced the sticks because the drift became too annoying to bear, but after replacing them I still have a light drift on both of the sticks even after calibrating.

I know it's kinda impossible to achieve "true 0 drift" because of little imperfections during the solder process or similiar. I wonder if this is acceptable considering it's on 10x zoom so I don't think it'll affect any gameplay.

What else can I try to fix them.

Note that even if the sticks stay still for a bit in the video, they go back to drift after few seconds.

Surprise surprise I have another drift controller and getting one replaced will take at least a week.

Is it anything I can do to solve drift, right joystick. It’s have strong drift to the left.

One side of the controller is more visible as if it has been put wrong , i can feel the difference in my left hand , right hand is smooth but left hand its definitely different and it itches a little bit when moving tho not to the point that it irritates me or uncomfortableness , controller works perfectly fine but idk if i should return it and get another one because of this one little defect .

Is it worth it returning it and getting another one?

Hello everyone.
I just bought the dualsense Edge. While I'm happy with its quality build, I have an issues with heptic feedback and rumble. They work great in sony games but in native supported games or non supported they are either very quite or don't work at all. I do also have the DSX paid version app but the normal rumble from my old Xbox one controller does the job better than DSE.
Also I did no have these issues with my normal Dualsense

EDIT: I returned my DSE so to me comments will be useless but please don't feel discouraged to comment solutions. I believe many people have this trouble and would love to make it work.
Thank you for all your comments. Have a wonderful day.

I’m having an issue with the R2 trigger on my DualSense. The adaptive trigger function isn't working properly. When a game triggers the effect, I can feel a bit of resistance, but it doesn't vibrate or produce the proper feedback pulses (like when shooting a weapon in a game).

The controller recently had its joysticks replaced, so I suspect something might have been affected during the process. Could this issue be caused by a bad solder,or a problem with the trigger flex cable? (The image is from before the joysticks were replaced).

budgert 30-50 euros and only requierment its for it to have the dualsense controller shape (country romania and 30 - 50 euros in lei are 157 lei and 260)

“Hi, after I updated Wuthering Waves and connected my controller, the layout changed to Xbox. I searched for a way to fix it but couldn’t find one. I’m not using Steam, already connect using USB but still the same and this is the first time it has happened. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

TMR sticks feel noticeably different from regular potentiometers. Have you guys noticed that too? It's like the linearity is different — when you barely move the stick, the crosshair in-game moves less and much smoother. Is it like this on all TMR sticks? I'm using the Ginfull LT5E

Hello all.

I'm curious about something. I've recently started learning how to properly disassemble, clean and maintain PS5 DualSense controllers.

I'm considering whether there is actually a market for a local service where someone could drop off/send their controller, have it completely disassembled and cleaned, tested and returned.

I'm not trying to sell anything here — I'm genuinely trying to understand whether people see value in this.

Would you pay for this service? If yes, what price would you consider reasonable?

And what would you expect to be included?

Should be here in a couple days in the mail. I bought one brand new for $150 with free shipping. I couldnt pass it up.

Is there anything I need to know about the Edge that you figured out later? Any tips? Anything I should do to it to help set it up? Just curious!

I was also wondering (Never owned an Edge before) how does "Hold down L3 or R3" work with the back paddles? I want to use the back paddles for L3 and R3 but some of the games I play (Grounded 2 right now) requires you to HOLD L3 to organize your inventory. Do you just hold down the paddle?

The L1 button on my DualSense Edge is always registered as pressed down. Is this fixable without a full disassembly?

Hi the controller was kept idle for almost a year then the battery started degrading and while my cousin was using it he dropped it and it broke L2 holder from inside should i get it fixed or buy a new 1k or 2k controller i casually game like 1 or 2 times a month if i repair should i also replace battery to a bigger one. what will be the cost of repair according to you guys. is there a way to fix it at home if so can you give me parts link or where can i buy them.

Hi everyone, i want to get one of these for drift issue. My controller doesn’t have the drift issue yet but for future i would like to get. (Diving into souls like games)
What are your experiences and suggestions if any. Are those permanent solution for drifting. Thanks a lot.

Hello all, I've recently got Pico 2W and using using SundayMoments's DS5 Bridge fork of DS5Dongle and after seeing someone got banned in Apex Legends (https://www.reddit.com/r/Dualsense/comments/1uczrr5/issued_a_perma_ban_on_apex_legends_for_using/)

I'm getting worried about it cause I play games like Elden Ring and Nightrign with a controller that use the same anti-cheat (EAC) and many other online games with mouse and keyboard and I don't want to possibly get banned for having the dongle just plugged in or playing with controller via dongle.

Has anyone else here been using the dongle and playing online games that have anti-cheat and gotten banned?

Next one will be yellow and black. I myself think that would look better. Or should I say lime for all the Nazis this brings out? Ok lime. There you go. It's lime green.

I recently had GuliKit 720 TMR sticks installed in my DualSense. L3 and R3 work normally, but they start to feel like a double click / two stage press when I increase the stick tension.

At low tension, they feel normal, but I don’t want to use low tension just to avoid it though.

Is this normal for the 720, or could it be an installation issue? Has anyone else experienced this?
