If you come across an issue and I don’t have a video for it shoot me a comment and I’ll see what I can do about getting a video up for you.

@@videogameexpert41 youre the best! Since Im playing PS4 quite much and Sony doesnt seem like they have been interested in a long lifespan for their ps4 controllers literally every fix for them is interesting to me. Only issue I experienced you havent uploaded a video for yet would be the bumper/shoulder/trigger buttons loosing sensitivity. Im not sure if its about the contacts or if it just comes down to some dirt hindering the signal though. edit: Its noticable esp in racing games. You press the button down the whole way but the signal and therefore the acceleration is far from 100% and (depending on the game and the level of "needed signal strength" the producers set for their game) so weak that it isnt enough to trigger the actual action in game at all

[@videogameexpert41]

@@dreckel6572 I think that would have to do with the rubber membrane wearing down. The trigger pushes down on a piece of rubber that then pushes down on the contact point. If you’re pushing it all the way down and it’s not registering 100% it’s more than likely the rubber that has become worn therefore not making the appropriate amount of force on the contact point.

[@dreckel6572]

@@videogameexpert41 That makes sense. I never thought about how such trigger buttons actually work. Thanks for the advice! Ill have a look at that if I notice it again.

Do you think you can make a video fixing the red ring of death on a x box 360?

[@videogameexpert41]

Unfortunately that is something I can not repair. If your 360 has the red ring you’re better off just buying a new system.
