The current state of the playstation section at Target...

This isn't an exaggeration in the slightest: It's extremely bad. The controllers are built to fail, the joysticks I mean. They drift and they do it fast. It genuinely feels like when they update the controllers (I have no fucking clue why a controller would need any update whatsoever) that they crea

Sony exec Lin Tao says killing discs won't make the PlayStation 6 too much like a PC: "Going forward, we can coexist peacefully with PC games" | Despite pushback, Sony isn't changing its mind about dropping physical discs in 2028.

specific examples of them being anti-consumer. I've personally experienced a few, if they need an actual list. Starting with the faulty stick drift situation, Nintendo will replace your joycon for free, and ship you the box, and then ship a new one the second your return barcode is scanned with the

Controller recommendations for someone who hates controllers

Whatever you do, avoid pretty much any first-party controller that doesn't at least have Hall-effect or TMR sticks; third-party options have massively improved over the last few years and will get you far better value and more features compared to the broken shit Sony and Microsoft sell. Good places

Is DualSense Edge worth it?

It’s expensive, but I eventually went for it since you can get a replacement stick for £20, I had so many drift issues with previous PS5 controllers I was fed up and I wish I got one earlier. The extra buttons/pedals and inbuilt options for stick height, stick sensitivity etc. and trigger sensitivit

Spear Stab does not work on PS5

I see, I use a DualSense Edge so having dash bound to O/B makes more sense for me. X/A and O/B are my back paddles, and having dash back there is very ergonomic for play. Incidentally, I know the expense and new muscle memory can be challenging, but if you haven't tried TDA or Eternal on controller

Comando PS5 com drift

Tens que ler os termos da extensão da garantia. Até pode não estar mesmo abrangido. Dica: não voltes a comprar um DualSense novo. Vai à Vinted e procura por DualSense Hall Effect e compra um com essa modificação. Fica-te mais barato e não voltas a ter problemas. Jogo desde os tempos da NES, joguei e

DualSense randomly drops inputs for a split second. Easy fix or return it?

It could be an easy fix, like disassembling the controller and cleaning off the contacts that sit underneath the button caps. There are the metallic contacts on a flexible film, and the carbon contacts on the underside of a rubber membrane. This iFixit guide describes how to get to them, and you can

My account was permanently suspended

Sony customer service is so fkn bad. I had a launch DualSense with drift issues after 3 weeks I wanted help with. The AI was useless and it took ages to get a human on the phone, who just ran through the same set of solutions that didn’t work. Finally allowed me to send it in for repair/replacement

This game WILL NOT detect my Dualsense at all. How do I fix this?

Yes, bought it from Sony directly, and it works perfectly in every other game I've tried. I'm using it wirelessly. I understand that it will work wired, but I'm not looking for full haptics or adaptive triggers, I just want the controller to function. It doesn't make any sense that a PS > PC game wo

Has anyone tried the Brooks Wingman FGC or equivalent for Tokon on PS5?

Yeah my friend and I got burned by being early adapters during the PS4's launch where MadCatz and Hori released their TE2s and Real Arcade Pro V without touchpads as we all assumed that the select button would turn into touchpad function instead of Share function since Markman was still at MadCatz s
