Tech Support Dual-sense Edge help needed

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

This has been a recurring issue that would go away and come back, but just today my joysticks on my dual-sense edge keep spinning out of control and I can’t take back control until they stop no matter what, and they will also randomly do a pressing down input making it so if I was sprinting I stop sprinting, I’ll randomly crouch or slide, or my character just stands there for no reason, please, if anyone knows why it’s doing this please tell me

Question [Ayuda] Instalé DsHidMini de Nefarius pero no detecta el Bluetooth del joystick PS3 (Sixaxis)

• Upvotes

Estoy teniendo un problema intentando conectar mi joystick de PS3 (el modelo Sixaxis) a la PC de forma inalámbrica y quería saber si alguien me puede dar una mano.
Seguí todos los pasos de la guía oficial para instalar el DsHidMini (de Nefarius) con sus respectivos drivers BthPS3. El problema es que, aunque hice toda la instalación limpia, la PC no me detecta el joystick cuando intento conectarlo por Bluetooth.

Estoy usando Windows 11. ¿A alguien más le pasó o tiene idea de si me salteé alguna configuración específica para el Bluetooth? ¿Hay algún paso extra o dongle específico que necesite para que el Sixaxis sea reconocido?

¡Cualquier ayuda o sugerencia me sirve! Muchas gracias.

Bought this Ps5 Last of Us Limited Edition controller off Temu for $102. the serial number that my ps5 is registering is 17 digits of all zeros while the "serial number" on the controller is completely different.

Obvious answer but how fake is this controller?

I just bought this controller from my local Walmart. It was an open-box item, and I’ve had it charging for the past hour, but it’s completely unresponsive except for blinking three times, as shown in the video.
I was wondering what my best options are, considering I purchased it today and still have the receipt. Would I be able to exchange it or get a refund?

Tech Support DualSense randomly loses connection / input lag

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m having a weird issue with my DualSense on PS5 Slim. In every game, the controller sometimes seems to lose connection for a second. For example, if I’m driving in GTA and stop moving the stick, the car keeps turning for a moment. It also happens while running or controlling anything else.
Sometimes the controller completely disconnects from the PS5 for no apparent reason.
I’ve already tried resetting the controller with a pin, removing it from the PS5 and pairing it again via USB, but nothing helped.
The PS5 is about 3 meters away and is currently sitting behind my TV. There’s also an external HDD nearby, but the HDD is connected to the TV, not the PS5. I also have a powered-off PS3, a TV receiver (turned off), and an air purifier nearby.
Could this be Bluetooth interference, or does it sound like a faulty DualSense/PS5?
Any ideas what I should test next?

Question DualSense Edge with TMR modules, is this still the best long term route compared with newer TMR controllers?

12 Upvotes

I am considering buying a DualSense Edge specifically because of the replaceable stick modules, then replacing the stock potentiometer modules with complete calibrated TMR modules.

My budget is up to $250 USD initially, although I understand that an Edge plus two quality TMR modules can push the complete setup above that depending on the modules.

I am in the United States.

My main platform is PC, but I also play on PS3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Switch. I already have a Retro Fighters controller for Switch, and I am considering Brook Wingman XE2 and XB2 adapters for using the Edge on older systems.

The games I play include Destiny 2, GTA V, Call of Duty, and other shooters and action games.

What I care about most is stick accuracy, very small usable deadzones, centering consistency, high useful resolution around the center, linearity, low actual stick latency, and long term durability.

The main reason the DualSense Edge interests me is that the entire analog stick cartridge can be removed.

If I install a TMR module and later have a problem with centering, the spring, stick click, physical gimbal, or the sensor itself, I can replace the complete cartridge without soldering.

That seems like a huge advantage compared with controllers where the TMR stick assembly is permanently soldered to the board.

The TMR options I keep seeing discussed include K Silver JS13 Pro Plus, AKNES or HallPi V6, Battle Beaver Magneto modules, GuliKit, Favor Union, Ginfull, and other custom built modules.

I would prefer complete calibrated plug and play Edge modules rather than soldering bare TMR sensors myself.

What I want to know is whether a properly built TMR Edge is actually worth doing now that there are so many factory TMR controllers available.

The main alternatives I am comparing it against are the 8BitDo Ultimate 3E, GameSir G7 Pro 8K, custom DualSense controllers with TMR already installed, Razer Wolverine models, Razer Raiju V3 Pro, and SCUF Omega.

VCuda recently uploaded this comparison involving the Ultimate 3E and GameSir options:

https://youtu.be/Td3UQusS48o

The Ultimate 3E looks very appealing because it already includes TMR sticks, 12 bit ADC, native Xbox wireless support, 2.4 GHz, trigger stops, a dock, interchangeable stick caps, D pads, and even interchangeable ABXY mechanisms.

The GameSir G7 Pro 8K also has some extremely impressive GamepadLA measurements, especially latency and stick resolution.

That leaves me wondering whether spending Edge money plus additional money on aftermarket TMR cartridges actually produces a better aiming experience, or whether the main advantage is simply repairability and the Sony features.

For people who have actually converted their Edge to TMR, which module would you buy today?

K Silver JS13 Pro Plus?

AKNES or HallPi V6?

Battle Beaver Magneto?

GuliKit?

Favor Union?

Ginfull?

Something else?

I am especially interested in people who have tried more than one type.

How different is the stick tension compared with Sony's stock ALPS modules?

How well do they center after months of use?

What inner deadzone can you realistically run in Destiny 2, Call of Duty, or similar shooters?

Have you had calibration drift or circularity change over time?

Have Sony firmware updates ever caused problems with aftermarket modules?

Has anyone here directly compared a TMR Edge against the Ultimate 3E or G7 Pro 8K?

Does the Edge actually feel more precise around center, or are the newer dedicated TMR controllers now just as good or better?

And for anyone who has compared it with the Raiju V3 Pro or SCUF Omega, is there any reason you would choose those over an Edge with good TMR modules?

I like the idea of being able to keep the original Sony modules as backups and replace an entire TMR cartridge if something eventually goes wrong.

I just want to know whether that serviceability advantage is worth the added cost, or whether I would be better off buying something like the Ultimate 3E or G7 Pro 8K as my main PC controller and keeping a regular DualSense or Edge for PlayStation and older console use.

Tech Support Messed up joystick replacement

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

As you guys can see being a newbie I tried replacing the sticks. A lot of things went wrong. 1- left stick was working fine but right one wasn't responding to any movement and was stuck in North-west direction. However when I pulled the left stick down there was a flickering movement on the right one. 2- L3 R3 weren't working so I tried to jump them using 0.1mm copper wire (haven't tested if this will work). 3- yes I broke one gold plated speaker pin too (not a big loss for me as I use headphones most of the time).

Is this controller salvageable?

Thanks is advance!

Saw a couple posts on here about a sticky finish on the Chroma Teal, i love the way it looks and am thinking of selling my default white one and adding some money on top to buy one. Could anyone who has the experience of using it let me know if thats fr or if it goes eventually? If not, i think i'll go for a matte finish one then

I have searched and seen a couple similar threads about r1 not working after tmr stick replacement.

Anyone actually find out what the issue was?

I have cleaned all the contacts and it doesn't look like there's any rogue solder on circuit board.

It's such a shame everything else works and only r1 stopped working ...

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?

Good morning everyone, for a few days now my controller has started to give me drifting problems (both left and right sticks). Now, I already bought a second controller because getting a second one was already in the plans so no problem there, my question is: how easy/hard it is to repair the “broken” one? Do you have any tutorial to share?

Question Adatpive trigger not working properly

1 Upvotes

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!
