This PS5 Controller Upgrade Just Changed Everything

I’m playing on Xbox, but I am really starting to think about changing the PlayStation at this point

$20 for 1 thumb stick and not 2 that's crazy $40 to replace both analog and not a controller you mind as well pay someone to install a hall effect analog stick

They should make a ps5 normal version cus most people use that instead of the 200$ version 🤦‍♂️ PlayStation please do this

bro, half of the controller's price for a stick...

Clickbait, only works on the edge version.

They should replace the controller design entirely until there's no drift or get charged with open fraud on the warranties and every company that had to sell those controllers and had their variant of a warranty because that's under a legal contract they should be able to sue Sony as well😂
There was already a video of an employee leaking the fact that this controller drift is built into the controllers to sell more of the controllers because they don't make enough off the consoles, that right there shows they are guilty of fraud. And are knowingly committing this crime everyone purchasing their products should have legal right to go after them.

Before you buy know that Sony does not mass manufacture the replacement joysticks yet. They make them in very small quantities and you will likely spend more money trading for a used (or in some cases defective) stick then you would on an entire new controller. The dualsense goes for $70 new in store on any given day when you need one, where people are trading these stick replacements for around $80 and there is quality concerns with buying from these unknown individuals.

Good luck trying to buy those sticks for 20$

Might as well buy a new controller if ya gonna be paying 50 bucks

Lol they made a subscription controller

Nah sony scamming even worse. Shame on you pony for keeping promoting such bad practices against consummers🤢🤮

Wait how do I know if I have the controller that I can change the sticks on or not

Oh Hmmmm Geeee.... thank you Sony for making it possible for us to buy an replace something that shouldn't cost $200 in the first damn place an then have the first module go bad less than a month owned an the other shortly after..... my heros

Does anybody know if you can replace the modules with any other ones or doesn’t have to be only these ones that you buy from Sony for example if I get this controller can I replace the modules with third party ones like if I go out and buy Hall effect sticks from Amazon can I put them on the dual edge controller i’m not sure if other third-party ones would fit or work on this controller. I’m curious if anyone knows?

Price of a single DualSense Edge is 2x the price of standard DualSense. There's no saving money here

Or...you could buy multiple potentiometers off of Amazon for like $10 and just replace them in the module itself🤷🏽‍♂️

this aged poorly

The funny thing is that my switch way older than my ps5 and my ps5 controllers both have stick drift and my switch the console pretty much known for stick drift doesn't.

You call that an upgrade. Wake up. Its a scam intentionally made by design.

It’s not 20 dollars anymore it’s 80 dollars

Except you cant find them anywhere.

"Sold out"
Seems about right.

New PS5 Controller 60 bucks

Duel sense edge replacement joy stick 50 bucks 😂

I’m going to invest in one of theses long run u will save loads of money

Sony are hungry bastards.

I still have PS1 and PS2 controllers that work perfectly. Hell, I have my original Atari controllers that work. However, since owning a PS5 I've replaced 6 controllers. Just unacceptable

Create a problem-Create a solution- Print Money! Manufactured Obsolescence!

You can’t even get them atm

Don’t waste your money you can’t even buy a new joy, con or stick module or whatever the hell they’re called. Sony claims it’s a production issue, but why don’t they have a waiting list if that’s the case it’s a scam don’t waste your money.

Why can I not find a joystick model anywhere on the planet

They are called analog sticks not Joy cons

240 dollars for the dual sense edge. then lets say you will spend 40 more to change the sticks once, thats 280 dollars. If you buy a normal controller is around 55 dollars, and if you need to replace them with a new controller thats another 55 wich is 110 dollars. Still a waaaay better deal than the 280 dollars. And with 280 dollars i can get so many games or even another ps5 for this price. Ridiculous

No, it's just another scam, they need to use the magnetic relays instead and not try to take our money all the time. The old controllers never broke. Why do these get messed up all the time?

What kind of PS5 controller is this?

As an owner of one please i recommend not to buy this. Yes it's original it's nice but. The battery after a short time doesn't last long also most of the parts like stick modules are sold by resellers for double price 50€ for one stick module if you need 2 imagine 100€ you can buy a normal controller plus some games on sales. It's just a rip off.

Costs you 20 bucks but costs 20 cense to make. Its the same reason they will not swap back to the magnetism joy stick. Cos they will not make any money

Dualsense edge is a scam. Replacement sticks are four times more expensive than TMR or hall effect sticks. You could get a Dualsense, TMR sticks, a soldering iron, and hair trigger kit for less than an edge. Twenty dollars for one stick after a year of use when you already spent two hundred is indefensible. Let's not even get into the battery.

And 2025 they’re nuts selling it because there are a lot of people want to get a hand on that so badly and sell it at eBay

Soo $200 for a controller n then $20 every so often to keep it working.. wow.. FUCK SONY!

This is why removable batteries are essential, Sony is basically guaranteeing another sale with this nonsense ewaste.

Depending on the pinout of that connector, maybe you could add one of the to a Framework laptop.

I rather mod those with hall effect sticks.

Holy shit, what a great idea

Sony did this on purpose. More revenue. It's uttterly obvious.

I play fifa and have left stick drift usually but blowing out the dust honestly helped more
