@TomeReader also, i've used this a couple of times to get a hold of joycon parts for xbox controllers and switch parts, can guarantee they deliver globally
Super common for the ps5 controllers, sadly. Market's been all kinds of pissed about it, too. Here's a primer for a fix.

@BosmangBeratna @elmaxx
Welp, my husband brought them to GameStop before I could try and fix them. 🙄
They were both under warranty, so they just gave us two new ones. I'm still annoyed. The main reason I don't have a Switch is the joycon issue, and then this happens.
Tbf, the Switch isn't nearly as bad. It's a disproportionate amount of outrage, but if you consider the target market of Nintendo, it starts to make some sense.
Xbox has the market cornered for controllers, bar none. I'm not the biggest fan of the platform as a whole, but GamePass and the Elite controller are fkn ✨️
@TomeReader @BosmangBeratna to be fair, warranty and getting new ones is always welcome!
PRAISE THE OMNISSIAH!
@TomeReader yeah I've replaced 2 controllers so far, got my console on launch day. I wanna get some joystick modules for my Steam Deck from https://gulikit.com/ and I've noticed they're working on modules for the Dual Sense Edge. I dunno that I wanna spend $200 on a controller just to spend more for hall effect mods, but I have also seen that Gulikit has said they're working on a PS5 controller so I will prob wait on that, assuming it's under $100 like their other kits.

My PS4 controllers lasted for years, so I'm super annoyed. And when I saw the price of the Edge, I swore out loud.
@TomeReader Yep, my OG PS4 controller is still fine. A couple I got later developed a bit of drift, but after years. Both the controllers I got with the 5 were drifting before a year was up, and I'm the only one using em, got 2 when I saw the batteries were smaller. I like the idea of the Edge, but fuck Sony for not going with Hall Effect sticks, basically forcing you to buy replacements once they inevitably develop drift. Hence the Gulikit route, for me.
@TomeReader cleaning and proper maintenance of highly used equipment may lessen the material degradation, however, if the sensors are already worn, perhaps the best thing to do would be to replace the affected parts. there's options to DIY or DIFY. should look into those so you can go back to enjoying your game console
