    In this video instructions I will show you how to disassemble the PS5 DualSense controller. Yes, now the PlayStation 5 gamepad is called DualSense, not the DualShock as it was called on the previous generation.
    This video contains all the important steps for completely disassembling the controller and also includes all the steps for reassembling.

    Excellent video. One thing different on my PS5 controller bought in 2023 is @3:27 this piece does not exist. There must have been a revision change. I used to to change the d-pad buttons to 4 individual to fix the mushy d-pad. While I was in there I swapped to PS4 controller square circle triangle X buttons because I think they look much nicer. To fit PS4 buttons into a PS5 controller requires cutting off one alignment tab on each button. Other than the circle button sticking up slightly too high they work perfect.

    I notice at 6:51 the X button has 2 less of those little plastic bridges inside. I have 2 PS5 controllers right now and both of them after a day or so have the X button constantly sticking and clicking, hard to press etc. Could that be contributing to the reason of this happening? Design flaw or? Why is that the only one which is different and also happens to be the only button having issues so far.

    Thank you for taking the time to show this. I need to take mine apart and check the spring on the right hand trigger. As of a month of use, the right trigger is noticeably loose and does not have as much resistance as the left trigger which feels like it did from the first day. Worries I’ve got a weak/deformed spring in there! Maybe need to reshape/replace 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • @TommyDriver89
      @TommyDriver89 4 роки тому +1

      FYI I play shooters so the R2 trigger gets a lot of action, and I may be heavy handed at times but still don’t expect it to fail this quick. I had to transplant triggers between my two PS4 controllers in the past but that was after 5+ years of usage :(

    • @gabrielschatzman5778
      @gabrielschatzman5778 3 роки тому

      The springs literally snap in half. They are poorly designed. Ordered a bulk replacement set on Amazon for like 3 dollars. DS4 springs also work and will last longer. They won't, however, have the same resistance.

    • @TommyDriver89
      @TommyDriver89 3 роки тому

      @@gabrielschatzman5778 you’re right. In the end I cannibalised two springs from my old PS4 controller and put them both on the broken right trigger-it had snapped like yours. No more issues since replacing-though I since bought a second controller and now waiting for that to fail at some point 😬

      it is lithium-ion battery 1560mAh and a capacity of 5.7 W/h. Compared to the battery from the DualShock 4, but had a capacity of 1000mAh and a much lower capacity of 3.7 Wh. It is also indicated here that the maximum charge current is 1.4A and, consequently, fast charging, for example, at 3A will charge the controller only at half the power.
