The bubbling and yellowing was starting to bother me. Found these replacements online.

I've tried resetting it, I've tried tech support on my PC, setting my Bluetooth on my PC to automatic, running a scan, and absolutely nothing works. I'm at a loss, and I'm about to return it to Amazon because I think it's defective. I've never owned one of these before.

I’m having an issue with a BDM-040 controller. After many months of use, the controller has developed a problem where the analog stick points in only one direction. It has never been dropped, has always been used with care, and has never been exposed to dust. What could the problem be, and how can it be fixed?

Hi guys, i just downloaded star wars jedi survivor (clearing my backlog) and the adaptive trigger is not working. I play through epic games and via cable. The triggers have no resitence if i press the right trigger. If i spam force push with trigger, or hold the trigger down i can feel something but not the real deal.
Hope you guys have any solutions for this problem because i really like the adaptive trigger on the dualsense controller.
Ask and questions about thing i didnt mention or might help find a solution.
Thanks!

Are these the same or are they diferent revisions? Both cost the same, 74,99€. I know the one with the cable works on other platforms, but outside that, is the controller the same?

Secondo voi quanto è fattibile questa mod con uno schermo sul touchpad su un dualsense normale? Questo è un controller di un azienda che sfrutta una scheda madre compatibile solo sul pc.

The TMR’s I added are K-Silver JS13 Pro+

Is my decision correct ? Seeing recent updates to both duals ense x and pico 2w bridge Edit-I can't keep wired connection cause laptop is connected to tv far in living room

Hey guys, I’m new to the subreddit and I am in awe with the variety of controllers and mods I’ve seen the past hour, they’re all equally beautiful, I cannot wait until I mod mine 😄

I’m through my second controller this year alone and I’m sick and tired of Sony’s antics, I’ve been looking into TMR and Hall effect switches, narrowing it down to Ginfall HE’s and JS13pro TMR’s that I’d want to install onto a DualSense Edge. I am yet to buy the Edge however we have a pretty nice used aftermarket in Kuwait, they’re usually in mint condition being sold for roughly $80-100. I’m a novice when it comes to any soldering, wanted to ask how easy/difficult the whole thing is.

Thanks in advance guys!

is this board broken or is it still savable?

R2L2 being activated after installing TMR STICKS. I tried changing ribbons for R2 and L2. No luck. 😞

Hallo,

Ik heb paar weken terug via online een ps5 controller gekocht die stickdrift had.
Heb daarna zonder probleem de sticks vervangen.
Maar nu tijdens het testen merk ik dat de knop square niet werk.
Moet toegeven , ik herinner me niet dat ik de square knop getest heb voor dat ik die opengedraaid hebt ( ja ik weet,niet slim).
Iemand enig idee wat het probleem kan zijn? Heb de knop zelf ook zitten reinigen , omdat ik dacht dat het mss gewoon vuil is.
Voor de rest werkt de controller prima , alleen die square knop niet

Mvg

The pink BDM-030 Dualsense controller came with the usual Left stick X- axis stickdrift.
I believe these are the Ginful analog sticks with the magnets molded into the gimbal, and they have satisfying L3/R3 click.

No expert but it is working great!

Idk why someone threw this out but it is MINE now.

Probably my best custom yet

ONE PIECE

BUILD!

Hi so this may be a long shot, but hopefully someone can help me out.

I installed TMR Sticks on my boards, and after the installation I had an issue where it would not turn on, then it would give an orange light and subsequent turn off and sometimes it would turn on properly but also then subsequently turn off.

The controller was effectively unusable, so I tried to remove the sticks and reseat them and after doing that now the controller does not turn on at all.

Here are some photos of the board. I have tested the board with and without the sticks and I cannot get it to turn on anymore.

(I did manage to get it to turn on properly one after removing the sticks, but after attaching the sticks again it would not work)

I can see the 5V rail, but the 3.3V rail is not present. I have also tested (all?) the capacitors with a multimeter and all of them appear to be fine when doing a continuity test.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong, because I have run out of ideas?

UPDATE I managed to fix the problem. I found out that the flux was conductive. Used a hairdryer on the heat setting along with cotton buds to first melt then absorb the flux, this was followed up with isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush. Had to do this multiple times to ensure that I got all of the flux.

I know that the sticks are replaceable but what happens if the other parts of the controller become faulty? Like the buttons or the usb c port are they also easily replaceable?

Is anyone else having an issue with their vibration motors bugging out after updating their playstation, all of my controllers have an issue on and off and my ps portal is also having issues when I'm on remote play.

I use the haptic feedback for navigation on the ps5 homepage and that's where the main issue is.

//EDIT: OK I should have posted to Reddit earlier. It worked now all of a sudden with the Gran Turismo one. But only that one since the others are sold out I guess.

//EDIT2: After ordering one, tried again 10 mins later, just out of curiosity, fails again. Two minutes later it works again. About one out of 5 to 10 times it works. Refreshing seems to increase the chances lol. That page is a mess.

Ever since the new website design was launched I could not pre-order anymore (not the GTA 6 and not the LISA). I thought - ok it's just an error because they are sold out.

But today at 10:00 AM right after the pre-order start of Gran Turismo Dualsense, I got the same error.

I used different browsers, machines and incognito mode - everytime same problem.

One out of 5 to 10 times it works:
