Hey everyone!
One of my controllers is really starting to have some stickdrift on the left joystick.
I’ve tried that solution and it seems to temporarily work: https://youtu.be/cU26TxHOkSU?si=ZBj_lerD0m1jomch
If it keeps coming back, I might try this solution which involves opening the controller : https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/Comment+réparer+une+manette+PlayStation+Dualsense+V1+qui+drifte/168202
Apparently, both of these solutions can’t be considered as long term fixes and I was wondering if someone managed to find a long term solution.
I would hate buying a new controller as I love repairing stuff, but I’d be interested to know if there is a more reliable/repairable controller with all the Dual Sense functionalities out there.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit: I’ve opened my controller and cleaned the potentiometer with alcohol and it didn’t work. I’m gonna try again tomorrow and take more time to examine the potential causes.
Around 2 years old so clearly out of warranty.
Edit: apparently the warranty from the shop I bought it from is 2 years so I could still replace it before November 2024
Well apparently some newer controllers are more durable. It’s the ones with a number with 1A in the end https://www.tomsguide.com/news/new-ps5-dualsense-controller-adds-hidden-upgrades-heres-how-to-spot-one
I don’t know if the one I had to send to warranty had a 1 or 1A in their number, but my other controller which is still working has a 1A. The two controllers were used the same way but one is perfectly fine and the other one had severe stick drift.
