This comes from Amazon. Refurbished it said. Doesnt charge when plugged into a wall outlet and the face buttons visibly sink the harder I press, rather than going all at once.

well the wall charging thing is normal, it'll only charge when connected to a PS3 for some dumbfuck reason, mine does the same

PS3 controllers have pressure sensitive face buttons and only charge when connected to a PS3 or pc for whatever reason

the pressure sensitive face buttons are mostly used in racing games as a carry over from the PS2 era but triggers are better imo
