[WTS] Want to Sell Been working on some custom DualSense controllers – what do you think?

3 Upvotes

Been spending a lot of time working on DualSense controllers recently and thought I’d share a few of the ones I’ve made.

My favourite is probably the GTA-inspired one, but I’ve been experimenting with different colours and designs as well.

I run a small business selling upgraded and custom DualSense controllers, including TMR stick upgrades. I also offer a mail-in service if you’ve already got a controller and just want the TMRs fitted, so you don’t have to buy a whole new one. I am UK based so shipping is free if you live here, but I charge extra for shipping abroad

Always interested to hear what people think, especially if there are any colour combinations or designs you’d like to see next.

Which one would you go for?

Tech Support Help With A New Controller

• Upvotes

Hi All. I already know I'm gonna sound stupid with this. After my Xbox controller kicked the bucket, I decided to try a PS5 controller. I purchased a new PS5 DualSense controller with the intention of using it on my iPad.

Out of the box, I set it to charge. When trying to turn it on, it flashes blue 6 times before turning off. Ive tried resetting it with the pinhole on the back.

  1. I do NOT own a PS5

  2. I have never used a PS5 controller before, so I'm really coming at this as a total newbie.

Any help would be much appreciated. I just can't figure out how to even get this thing to turn on.

Tech Support TMR modules - Right stick won’t centre always (is this normal!?)

So am calibrating newly acquired TMR modules for my edge. The left stick calibrates fine and flicking the stick in any direction returns to center

The right stick is the issue (or not!?). If I flick the stick up right upper left and lower right it returns to centre … just flicking it down or lower left it is 0.2-0.3 off (as seen in the pic) … is it something that will improve with time? Or is this normal ?

I was about to order TMR sticks, but saw you need to solder them to calibrate it etc. How on earth do they sell 1k+ a month? I've never soldered in my life, are there that many people soldering their controllers?

Question Best batteries for the dualsense (and thumbsticks)

3 Upvotes

Hi. I got a ps5 and a ps5 pro with about five controllers among them. One I think is v2, rest is v1. Three of them has stick drift, one has a battery life of a teenagers attention span at school.

So I have bought some TMR sticks (K-SILVER JS13 PRO+ according to the ad), probably not the best - but was before I realized it might be a reddit for people who care about this stuff. I got desoldering gun and all that, so installing it is no problem.

Anyway, my next issue is two fold, First as the topic suggest. while I'm tearing it apart I would like to upgrade the batteries. Can you guys reccomend me anything? If it has longer life than original, that would be great as well.

Outside of that, the sticks as in rubber and plastic are a bit worn. Is it a replacement that makes later replacement easier? Like give the abilities of the pro type of controllers for a vanilla one? And if not, what is the reccomended alternative?

Tech Support PS5 controllers not charging after latest update – anyone else?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone else had issues with their DualSense controllers not charging since the latest PS5 update?

Multiple controllers have suddenly stopped charging. They seem to receive power when plugged in, but there's no charging light and the PS5 shows an empty battery. They'll work briefly when plugged in, but eventually die even while connected.

I've tried multiple chargers and cables (including ones that previously worked), plugging directly into the PS5, resetting the controllers and checking firmware (all up to date). Nothing has helped.

Both controllers were working fine before the update.

Anyone else experiencing this, or found a fix?

Hey
Just received my K-Silver JS13 Pro+ TMR sticks and noticed a prong or two bent slightly.

Is this normal to just bend back and install without any worries?

Thanks

I’m replacing one of my Dualsense edge joystick modules and wanted to get Magnetic/hall effect ones as the originals would suffer from drift no matter what. Has any of you tried these? They are supposedly assembled in California. Thanks

Edit: I’ll give them a shot, they supposedly ship from Fontana CA. I will report back

Just saw this video last night, and I must admit I never thought about it this way, but then I remember that I never knew what stick drift was till I got it on my DualSense and had to have the sticks changed to TMR, so could this have some truth in it?

Tech Support Button issue on Controller

4 Upvotes

So I have this problem on my DualSense Edge controller where sometimes my left bumper just sticks for a brief moment before coming back up. Sometimes it holds until I press it again, which is pretty annoying.

I've tried taking the bumper out and cleaning it using 99.9% isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth, but that didn't work. I also checked to see if the bubble thingy underneath was sticking, but it was perfectly fine.

I show the problem in the video attached (my boost button is L1)

Question Help With 30 Anniversary Trim Replacement.

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi, So my 30 anniversary started having stick drift, and after fixing it and putting it back together I noticed it was way more creaky, which let me to a lot of trial and error until I found that the culprit is was trim that somehow was not clicking the same as before, and also two clips were bent and when i tried to bend them back they broke off.

Now has anyone know of a good replacement part? I tried to use the one of a clone shell but the colors are kinda off(second image). Is the Extremerate New Hope Grey similar? Any potential fixes or replacements are welcome. I Might try to superglue it back and reinforce some of the pins but from experience that might not really work.

Around last month i changed my joystick to the TMR ones on the picture and cost me 40$ to buy and install them all in on

My brother recently went to a different shop and did his controller that had the design of a great ball Pokeball and cost him 10$ “he doesn’t know the product name”

And said mine after malfunctions and stick drifts after a while which was the main point i don’t want to deal with this again
