Playstation 5: Gamers have problems with the PS5's DualSense controller
In the “Resetera” forum, a gamer shared his experience with the
joystick
.
While playing the game "Spider-Man: Miles Morales" I suddenly had unexpected problems with the shoulder buttons.
While playing, he felt “how the R2 snapped and immediately relaxed.
It was as if whatever 'resisted' in the trigger broke, making it a normal, non-adaptive trigger again. "

Another player complained on Reddit.
“The adaptive R2 trigger has stopped working and no longer offers resistance.
I did
not drop
the
controller
and there are no signs of damage. "
PS5: Is the Playstation controller having major problems?
It is not yet clear how widespread the problem is.
The manufacturer
Sony
has not yet issued a statement.
It is not known whether the defects are individual cases or a general design error.
Buyers should contact the manufacturer in the event of problems - after all, all console fans are still covered by the two-year guarantee.
Inexperienced hobbyists should keep their hands off a quick repair at home, in the worst case the manufacturer's guarantee will be void.
