Popular Post ElektrickRage Posted January 7 Popular Post Share Posted January 7 Just having my rant because Sony is disgusted me right now. I have a broken HDMI port now and because the “1 year warranty” has just expired I got to pay for this shit. Not like I want to wait 3 months anyway but still. I have been noticing this problem for a few days now. The hdmi port is so cheap and fragile, the metal can bend at the bottom part like the cheap metal it is. I have never had a problem like this with any other console and the PS5 is meant to be the current gen? I have seen online also that this is a common issue. Then the PS5 controller is also been uncomfortable since day 1. Clunky design, noisy plastic, input delay/lag, squeaky buttons/triggers. Like the triggers feel so stiff and like to squeak after minimal usage. Bumper buttons feel to tight and uncomfortable also. 11 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeTheGooner Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 the controller is very uncomfortable, I had to buy a silicone cover for it when I first started using it, it has sharp edges 3 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumibella Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I completely agree. I hate everything about Dualsense, and it's mind-boggling that we can't play PS5 games with DS4. I have a third party DS4 and it feels like 10 times more comfortable to use than Dualsense. Sony are clueless as usual. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done by design, so we buy more controllers because we get sick of charging them every 5 minutes. I miss the days when the controller would last the day and then some. These controllers are awful, and it's even worse if you fell for buying that really expensive one where you can swap out the sticks for like £20 a time, it's a joke. The HDMI issue is very common, mine had that issue very cheap material, again done by design. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YTPerfectParadox Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I'm on my fourth controller because R2 and L2 keep breaking and losing all resistance so I basically can't not be pressing them at all times. Plus I've had analogue stick rubber peal off and even my newest controller is a couple months old but starting to squeak. I don't care about any of that compared to the design though. I've always chosen Playstation because their controllers are so comfortable instead of that bulky tiresome xbox design but that changed with PS5. I legitimately get sore hands playing with the dualsense the knuckle of my index has to press too firmly into the side of the controller to reach the analogue sticks so i find myself playing on PC or xbox at times just to get a break.

I've really been impressed with the Dualsense. It's one of my favorite controllers. Sure the battery could last a little longer but I don't normally play long enough to where that's an issue or I just swap it out with the other controller I leave in the charging dock. 23 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones you buy separately are drift free? Rants and jokes aside, the PS5 itself does feel kind of like a cheap toy, with the removable (and noisy because of that) covers almost designed to make it hard for you to vacuum the air vents. And the 3 controllers I had so far, each feeling very differently on the dpad and face buttons, to the point that with one of them I wondered if I got a cheap knock off... But then again, my PS4 Slim had a crooked HDMI port while it was brand new. It still works, but it took some force to plug it in. And with my first ps one, I had to use a spare PC power supply to blow air into the vents near the console's power supply in order for the disc drive to work properly, which was a known issue with the first model. Consoles are relatively cheap as far as gaming hardware goes, don't expect wonders in terms of build quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ChiefMichigan Posted January 7 Popular Post Share Posted January 7 Battery life has been the only issue I can think of. The controller is more comfortable than it looks. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ_Solo Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Seems par for the course for any standard official controller for a console. It isn't a Bugatti... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoodgraverNL Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I have 2 problems with the controller. 1. Some have a little drift, but it's barely noticable. 2. Out of the 5 I own (all sofferent colours), only the red one has no problems with the aux port. I have to adjust to headphones so many times (turn it in circles) to find a spot where I get audio. This also happened with the blue and pink controllers that came out last year. It's really annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that should have been expected since: the PS2 couldn’t use PS1 controllers for PS2 games, the PS3 couldn’t use PS2 controllers for PS3 games, and the PS4 couldn’t use PS3 controllers for PS4 games. Most of us weren’t mind-boggled when PS5 repeated the pattern. 23 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same - though I got a new controller a few months back, and I’ve noticed the battery in it seems to last a very noticably longer time - like double what the older ones do. Might just be degradation of the older batteries, but seems such a big difference, that I suspect they’ve improved the batteries that go in them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2nd controller which I've barely used is having this issue, games are unplayable using it. I have tried blowing into the analog stick and moving the stick in clockwise and anti-clockwise motions to disrupt whatever is causing it to bug out but nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordBilbanes Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I haven't had any problems with the HDMI port on my PS5 and I haven't experienced any problems with the Dualsense. Personally, I think it is a solid controller design, though I do wish Sony would offer a hardwired version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC-Fraggers Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 It's been pretty good for me so far if you don't count the first wave of them which were absolute dogshit. I had two from the release batch and within about three months the left trigger spring had gone on one of them and I had stick drift on the other. They've been fine since I replaced them though. I like the size and weight of the DS more than anything. My hands are massive so I don't feel like I'm gonna crush it like a bird egg every time I pick it up (looking at you PS3 pad). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugumuko Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I've had to change the battery on my launch DualSense, but I just got an AliExpress one for like $10 and it lasts even longer than the original one. And honestly, I like this design a lot more than the PS4 controller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yendoron Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I actually really like the controller, the battery lasts me most of the day, if it dies I just switch to a different one. It's definitely not as noisy as an Xbox controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
