The sticks might be the same but they feel much smoother than my Dual Shock 4. The plastic around the stick of the Dual Sense is very smooth so you don't get that plastic on plastic grinding feel. Maybe they'll get that way with time but it's my impression that the plastics are more resistant in this design.

[@Tronicsfix]

@@Tronicsfix they changed the position of the R3/L3 button, they are now on the top side which should hold better since for example L3 is usually pressed while the stick is forward to sprint

I learned how to solve the stick drift easy without a solder kit (replacing the discs) and I hope you can do it on these without unsoldering the motors by just taking out the whole big black part with motherboard/motors still attached. If not I'll just have to get a soldering kit too lol.

[@Tronicsfix]

Looks like repairing these should be exactly the same.

[@Bortstampson]

I think there’s just not many options for joysticks. Both Sony and Microsoft have used ALPS brand sticks for years at this point. Nintendo did a custom one for the joy-cons, and they’re worse than the ALPS sticks in every way, though some of that is expected given the compact size. Idk if it’s really worth it to a company to custom commission a new style joystick when over 99% of people never get drift, cheaper to just replace them for people when they fail prematurely.

6:15 Don't lose hope. The Joystick housing edges are super smooth with little to no grinding of the plastic. The Switch Pro is the worst culprit of this due to having sharp edges surrounding the sticks shaft which creates plastic dust that enters the Joysticks internals causing drift. The DualShock 4 also had this issue. Of course wear and tear will still happen but not as quickly.

[@rixzin5046]

@@farxx5628 The ps4 was more powerful than the xbox one and the reason xbox one sold less is because it was $100 more and bundled with the trash kinect. The xbox series x is more powerful than the Ps5 cpu and gpu wise. The only advantage Ps5 has is its faster ssd which won't make a difference in third party titles

[@Artdizzle]

@@rixzin5046 wrong, also a VASTLY better I/O and compression system, and a significantly less complicated development environment... Sony isn't forcing developers to develop and optimize for two different consoles and in most cases a PC as well. There's more to CONSOLE gaming than the GPU, it's the erasure of bottlenecks and ease of development, and the "bottleneck" (in quotations because there really isn't any) in the PS5 architecture is essentially the SSD, which is saying something about the Series X since it's twice as fast. ps3 was more powerful than the 360 but 360 usually had the advantage in multiplats for this reason. Why have we barely seen anything next gen on the Series X when it's a week from launch? It's sad that Watch Dogs is the only game, and I guarantee since it's from ubisoft it will very likely be mediocre even if it looks fine

[@rixzin5046]

@@Artdizzle Multiple devs have already came out and said that the series s isn't an issue considering its literally just a cut down version of the series x.

It seems to me that at the very least, the DualSense control sticks are more shielded from debris than the DualShock 4. The black case piece, and what looks like black rings inside that leaving less of a gap where things like sweat, grease, or dead skin cells to get in. All of which can cause grime related stick drift.

@@FEVERNOVAA you mean they still using the same analog??

[@renesevriens9965]

Fevernova A whe have an xboxfan here, dude the Xbox controller and yes the New Xbox controller has the same problem.😉

[@paddipat]

@@FEVERNOVAA the rotated the stick placement 90°, so when u push the stick down to spring forward, there should be so much wear like before. We'll see how it holds up. Was satisfied with my DS4, I've had 6 controllers and only one got the problem of stick drift in all these years. Sometimes I am thinking people are just too hard to their controllers and should try to relax more.

[@EclecticWizard6]

Very thorough appreciate the teardown and walk through! Looks like a great controller!

Glad it was helpful!

@@Tronicsfix I hope my controller doesn't end like the ps4 it ruins the fun of the games my stick Drift because I use it too often with games that need a character to move like spider man

tear it down reminds me of my childhood days when I use break toys to find out what's inside

[@oscarreyes2946]

I was playing today Astrobot and Coldwar and omg I love IT! It’s like someone is inside the controller, when you’re playing COD it’s like you just shooting in real life.

[@LouieGMDesign]

I'm glad you're now able to buy customized color plates for the PS5 controller. Instead of the black trim piece, you're now able to get it in an array of colors.

[@charlied3189]

Why do I feel like the black part would instantly snap if I tried removing it

Because that’s the point of it. Int he future you’ll be able to customize that black part with other designs

[@alakhsaini]

As a hobbyist, I repair PS4 controllers. The DualSense looks like more of a nightmare than I was hoping. I kept looking at images of the back of the DualSense and couldn't see where the screws were to take it apart, so this tear down has been very informative.

Austin Evans bless him. He doesn’t know what he’s doing or taking about most of the time. I really can’t begin to understand why so many people put any stock into what he has to say about anything.

[@okaythensure]

I have a feeling you don't like Austin Evans. Just so you know, he was just making a joke about Austin breaking his DuelSense. He didn't actually want to take a stab at him or make people stop watching him.

[@XgamerdaveX]

@@okaythensure yes, I assumed there was no ill intent from TronicsFix towards Austin.

[@DemonGamerTT]

I haven't bought a game console in 20 years... I'm primary a pc player, but the advancements sony brings with the dual sense really makes me wanting to get the PS5. In the pc the input devices are basically frozen in time and we have 0 evolution in the way we use those devices in the last 20 years(more like 40 for keyboards). Sony is bringing a new way to interact with games and that's please me.

[@psygnozis]

@DFaking It's not the same, games needs to be progeamed to use dualsense features

[@DemonGamerTT]

@DFaking is as above post said... i think a loot of developers are going to give full support for the new features in the dual sense even on multiplat games. The thing is sony dont have gamepass and game prices on console are garbage so im divided...

[@whatistime5768]

That is one complicated advance controller yet easy to replace parts. Well done Sony 🤙

I thought the Haptics arent just "Motors", but voice coil actuators. They function quite differently.

[@paddipat]

You're right.

[@a3kid]

Yeah he's got no clue

[@sai8098]

They are voice coil actuators, he just called it a motor

[@majorgnu]

Yeah, the crummy old motors just moved a permanent magnet around by running a current through some coils, which induced a magnetic field that in turn moved the magnet. The brand spanking new Voice Coil Actuators™, on the other hand, move a permanent magnet around by running a current through some coils, which induces a magnetic field that in turn moves the magnet. Absolutely nothing alike!

[@majorgnu]

Just in case the sarcasm flew over your heads: *voice coil actuators are a type of electrical motor.* You're all basically saying "that's not a sword, you idiot! It's a katana!"

[@musicxxa6678]

So it's more like headphone driver actually. Foster makes those. Good stuff.

[@XGD5layer]

Pretty much. voice coil actuators is the same kind of technology that allows speakers to vibrate and create sound

I am always so confused when people talk about stick drift with their DS4s or Switch Joycons while I have never had any problems like that whatsoever? Am I doing something wrong, or rather doing something right? 👀

[@logicalsnorlax5641]

Sounds like you got lucky, my first ds4 lasted 6 years then the battery died, the next one one 4ish months with stick drift, on my last one until the dualsense

[@Klujma]

You must be god or something, every controller i had had this problem since ps3 launch and all of my friend have the same issues. And broken L3, i hope dualsense will be a bit better.

I’ve had my controller for a year and it has minor drift. I kinda didn’t treat it well though. Joycons drift in around 4-6 months. My right joycon didn’t last while playing fortnite and they suck. Especially on the switch lite.
