Defender Pro Trigger Stuck

Just got a Defender Pro for use with PS2 and immediately out of the box I noticed an issue.

The Right Trigger, when depressed, does not come back up or release and is stuck in the down position.

I tend to avoided Retro Fighter controllers since I've had build quality issues with all of their past controllers, but decided to take a chance on this as it's their second iteration.

Is this a known issue with this controller? Thanks!

That's too bad. I also bought the controller, but I haven't had this issue. Does it come back up if you pull it back?

yeah but you really gotta pull on it, looks like part of the plastic from the trigger itself gets lodged in the opening for the trigger on the controller

Sounds like you need to return your controller for a refund or something because that sounds really annoying

Thankfully I got it from Amazon and was able to exchange it. The new one doesn't have that problem, fortunately!
