Several players have reported problems with the Playstation 5's DualSense controller. This could now have serious consequences for the manufacturer of the PS5. 

  • Many gamers went empty-handed after the Playstation 5 went on sale.

  • Some of the lucky few consumers complain of problems with the

    Dual Sense controller

    of

    PS5

    .

  • A US law firm is filing a class action lawsuit against manufacturer Sony.

Update from Monday, February 15th, 2021, 12 noon:

The

Playstation 5

is supposed to revolutionize the gaming world - at least if Sony has its way.

The reality is different because many players are frustrated.

This is due to the

DualSense controller

.

It doesn't work everywhere as it should.

Gamers have already reported massive problems.

A class action lawsuit has now been filed

against manufacturer

Sony

.

But what is the problem with the

controller

of the

PS5

?

The lawsuit is about so-called

stick drift

.

A quite annoying phenomenon in which the analog sticks move even though the user does not touch the sticks.

The

controller

moves almost by itself.

When gaming, this can have a massive impact on the gaming experience.

Buyers of the

Playstation 5

, which costs

almost 400 euros,

are therefore angry and take legal action against manufacturer

Sony

.

PS5: Problems with the Playstation 5's DualSense controller - lawsuit against Sony

The

class action was

filed

by a US law firm, as reported by "

mein-mmo.de

".

The main

plaintiff

is a player who had to

struggle

with the "faulty"

controllers

himself

after purchasing the

PS5

.

He teamed up with other victims and then had the lawsuit filed through the firm in a New York district court.

The allegations against the manufacturer of the

Playstation 5

are massive.

Sony

consciously installed components that had already been used with the PS4 controller.

The drift problem was also noticed there.

The

PS5 controller

was therefore "faulty" and consumers were deceived.

A repair is also cumbersome, and those affected have to pay for the shipping costs of the repair themselves.

The plaintiffs are therefore demanding, on the one hand, compensation for those affected and additional reparation.

In addition, Sony should

find

a solution to the problem with the

controllers

.

How the lawsuit will end remains to be seen.

Numerous PS5 fans are upset.

The triggers are installed behind the shoulder buttons (R2 and L2) of the joystick and offer noticeable mechanical resistance while playing.

the console's

new

controller

PS5: Developer Sony sings hymns of praise for the new Playstation controller

The Japanese electronics giant advertises its new flagship on its own website with the words: “Experience the different levels of power and tension when you interact with your equipment and surroundings in the game.

From tightening an increasingly tighter bowstring to applying the brakes on a speeding car: feel physically connected to your actions on the screen. "

However, the joystick does not work for many gamblers as they were promised in the advertising.

Users complain about malfunctions of the adaptive triggers of the

DualSense controller

- in some cases it should even lead to complete

failures

.

According to an article by the gaming platform "PlayCentral", more than 1000 players are said to have reported such problems.

Playstation 5: Gamers are experiencing 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 loosened up.

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. "

Sony Playstation: Does the new PS5 controller have major bugs?

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.

In case of problems, buyers should contact the manufacturer - 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 expire.
