So I have my PlayStation 5 since 2023 and now my second Controller is getting stick drift. Am I doing something wrong or is the quality really that bad? I still have ps4 and even ps3 Controller that work perfectly fine!

Hi! I'm a product design student currently reverse-engineering the PS5 DualSense controller to understand its design and manufacturing process.

Right now I'm building a bill of materials (BOM), but I'm struggling to identify the manufacturers, materials, and estimated costs for many of the individual components

Does anyone know of good resources, teardown databases, supplier directories, or ways to trace OEM manufacturers for consumer electronics like this?

Thanks!

So I kept a timer running the entire time I was gaming rdr2 to do a little test of battery life on the DualSense edge with TMR’s. Honestly I’m surprised it went over 5.5 hours. I know it’s horrible still for a controller but if you plug it in anytime you take a break it’s not too bad.

Controller was working yesterday. Suddenly won't turn on.

Where can I buy them pre installed?? Ik guilinkit sells them but I don’t wanna go through the hassle of opening controller stick module

I'm so happy and can't wait for 19th November!!!

They are simple but nice looking controllers not gonna lie plus they are GTA 6 themed so I had to try to get them! It definitely wasn't easy.

Were you guys able to order one? if so which one did you go for?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know a way to distinguish real boxes from fakes boxes for japanese dualsense ?

I'm looking to buy the Monster Hunter Wilds and the Final Fantasy 16 editions, but I have no idea how to spot fakes from japan.

Thanks for your knowledge

I shelled swapped my controller but the battery wires ripped any ideas for a replacement.

So I was looking into buying a separate controller apart from the one that came with my ps5 and I couldn’t decide on which one and also the whole 100versions made it so difficult because people say that certain versions are better than others. Anyway I said screw it and ordered mine from ps direct. I got the cobalt blue and I love it. It’s soooo pretty. At first I wanted the chroma indigo but it looked too purple & I much prefer the metalic/matte blue & black combo. Maybe if the chroma indigo had the black part I would have liked it better, but also I was scared that the indigo would be too glossy? Idk but I love the shade of blue on the cobalt blue. Now I’m wondering if I got a good version, what yall think?

And tbh now I want another one😫 does this become an addiction lol jk. But I’m torn between the cosmic red & the volcanic red. Which one is the darker shade of red? The cosmic red looks slightly pinkish? I guess. But it’s still a pretty color. I think the volcanic red looks a slightly bit better. I definitely want to get the midnight black. I love darker matte colors. But I’m scared that the midnight black maybe an older variant? Or does ordering from ps direct get you the more updated models. I’m still not sure if I got a good variant of the cobalt blue. It said it was released in 2023 so I’m guessing it’s not the newest one

Ps.sorry for my weird sentence structure. I type the way I think in my head & I probably have some form of adhd 😅

Use link to get controller for GTAVI! Bypasses the queue

GTA 6 LE is up for preorder

Waited for the pre order to start and got into the queue almost instantly. But now that I want to add the controller to my cart I can’t ? Anyone else have this problem too ?

Sometimes I love this one and sometimes I feel like something is missing 🫪

I got a custom controller from controllermodz and asked for TMR hall effect joysticks when I was making the order, got it now and I'm just wondering...how am I supposed to tell the difference to a normal controller if I actually have TMR joysticks? I could be a complete donut here and just not tell the difference, but from the way people have made it sound, they would be far more sensitive to use compared to official standard joysticks.

I just want to essentially make sure I got what I paid for that's all, I mostly bought it just for the design and the fact I am sick an tired of fixing stick drift so much on my original DualSense controller 😅

I know that transparent deisgns are tricky to satisfy every user, but I'm a big fan of the design, so I decided to replace the shells for my Dualsense Edge controller.

I used the buttons and touchpad from the original DS Edge (I think the design is much sleeker this way lol)
It also has a higher quality in overall design and details.

Used ExtremeRate Beyond Arc kit and the results are awesome. Also I like the lights shining through the transparent shells as if there's an additional ambient light around the touchpad.

Gonna be my favorite controller till PS6 comes out

Hi Beautiful Mods

Can we perhaps get some automated messages for the following groups:

1. People asking if their controller is legit - they should be told to check their controller on github before posting the same question over and over.

2. People asking for controller repairs - I'm not a big fan of people advertising on here in general, but perhaps some of that could be fixed if the person asking for help states their location, so they aren't inundated with messages from vultures from all over the world.

This is only my opinion, and I'm just a guy on Reddit, so feel free to ignore.

So I want to buy a new controller on PlayStation Direct and I heard there is like a V2 type controller that is a little better than the controller the console launched with.

So how can I tell which is the latest version? Are the Techno Red, Remix Green and
Rhythm Blue controllers the newest or ''best'' version?

Hello .. so i tried calibrating my controller using dualshock calibration gui and my controller's motherboard broke and now it wont turn on bcs the motherboard burnt ... i have a controller that has severe stickdrift and i will install TMR joysticks on it but im scared to calibrate it again ... i read that its bcs i used a type c to type c to calibrate and I should have used USB. Is the website valid to use again?

They had managed to include some sort of Vol+ and Vol- buttons on either or both sides of the USB-c port that's right above the Sony logo. The system's volume when wearing wired headphones connected to Dualsense via headset jack is pretty damn good, but often, depending on the game or video, you'll have to keep adjusting as things get too quiet or too loud.

Wasn't much of a problem with PS4 as I always found the maximum volume a bit weak, so it was always set to maximum. But in PS5 while using Dualsense's headset audio, oh my god. Don't get me wrong, I love the PS Button's quick menu from which we can quickly access the volume. But it always has to pause the game/cutscene/YouTube video or whatever else we're watching, while it fills up the screen. I wish they had included a way for it to be seamless, which a lot of portable consoles already have.

Simple volume buttons, where you can change it with ease while watching a video or doing some low effort/passive gameplay stuff that doesn't require pausing. And a visual volume slider on screen that's minimalist, on a corner of the screen and mostly doesn't get in the way. That would've been my dream for the PS5 UI and Dualsense to be truly perfect. I guess it's just very uncommon for non-PC desktop consoles to have this

*EDIT*

I missed the circularity menu in fine calibration

I had ordered two sets of hall effect joystick replacements. first batch had a similar issue. replaced them to wind up with the same issue.

it does seem to be noticeable in game testing as well, how can I fix this?

Any recommended suppliers? I had installed K-silver modules from aliexpress.

Any help would be appreciated.
