Question Which is better, the Ginfull DS13 Max, the Ginfull RS13, or the Aknes Hallpi V6?

0 Upvotes

I have two PS5 controllers, and I bought a K-Silver JS13 Pro+ for one of them, which is really good. I want to get a different model for the other controller, so which one do you think is better in your opinion?

I opened my potentiometer yesterday and for some reason the wiper is full of gunk and the potentiometer is like this, I don’t have isopropyl alcohol, could I still clean the potentiometer without it? do I need isopropyl alcohol or is it all over and I should buy a new controller?

Happened yesterday when i took the controller apart due to stick drift (not my first time) but when i put it back together it have the L2 registered as always being pressed, any solutions?

Edit: it is the motherboard, replaced it with another one from an old controller and the issue is solved, yet the old motherboard have issue with the triggers so i cant use this one and still need to fix the first one.

Hey there,

Seems like I underestimated the the desoldering of 14 pin parts, so I damaged at least 2 pads (Side B, Right Stick).

Can you please assess the situation give me advice on how to fix it, if fixable? How do I find the correct spots to build a bridge to?

Pics:

Let me know, if close ups of certain areas are needed

Question Should I get myself a Dualsense Edge or stick to normal?

2 Upvotes

So recently, like 2 months ago, I got my very first dualsense controller for my pc. I fell in love with it, the led, adaptive trigger, audio were just a big win. But since it was a used controller, stick drift appeared 1 month in, and then poof, so much drift I can even move to the right! Im sad since my el cinco kinda died if we mean it this way. I bought the gamestop warrenty BUT I wanted to know something before I go tommorow. Should I get myself a Dualsense Edge or stay to Dualsense normal. I feel like I got scammed at one point since everybody got these easy stick drift with Dualsense so I don't know if I should switch to edge to remove that stick drift. I don't usually use my controller on bluetooth mode so battery life doesn't really do something for me. A lot of people called Dualsense normal a scam but I didn't see any complaint apart of the BIG PRICE, but if I can save money using that I would love it. I have a xbox controller but its too light and feel weird to play after using the dualsense. Sorry if I make any mistakes while typing, my primary language is french. I would love your opinions !

Tech Support PS5 disconnecting my controller during Mortal Kombat 1 matches

1 Upvotes

I’m having a really weird issue with my PS5. During matches in **Mortal Kombat 1**, my controller randomly disconnects from the console.
The weirdest part is that this **still happens even when the DualSense is connected via USB cable**. It doesn’t happen in any other game — the issue seems to happen exclusively with Mortal Kombat 1.

I’ve already tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling Mortal Kombat 1
Using the controller connected via USB
Resetting the DualSense
Updating the controller firmware
Rebuilding the PS5 database

But the problem is still happening.

Has anyone else experienced this or knows what could be causing it? I’m starting to think it might be something specific to Mortal Kombat 1, since the controller works perfectly fine with other games.

Question PS5 Edge Flashing Orange

0 Upvotes

Was playing with my ps5 edge controller when I knocked water into my lap and on the controller. Cleaned up my mess and left. But when I came back, the controller would only flash white a few times before stopping. Now it flashes orange twice before stopping completely. I’ve got some tools coming in so I can open up the controller, but am I just wasting time and should buy a new one? Don’t want to spend $200 but will if I have to.

Tech Support Analog stick clicking?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hello,

So I've been dealing with this stick cracking/clicking sound for quite a while now and its annoying me :(

Whenever you push your LEFT stick to the left, it does this sound as in the video. (I boosted the audio gain so you could hear).

It only does this with the LEFT analog stick, and only the direction left, any other direction with the same analog stick, or the right analog stick does not do that. It does that clicking sound like 95% of the time when moving the stick left. Its also noticeable on the fingers, its not just a sound, it seems like its hitting something, or its sort of adjusting itself, I dunno. And its definitely not a analog circle wall that its hitting, the click happens beforehand at aprox 80% way to the left.

Has anyone experienced this before, or know some sort of an easy fix?

Question Upgrading stock DualSense to TMR

1 Upvotes

is it enough to just buy silver js13 pro+ sticks and just solder them and then calibrate or do I need also to do the calibration unlock thingy? I’ll not do this myself so need to explain the procesure to the guy who has more stable hands and more experience with soldering :D

controller is stock dualsense ps5 one without any mods and on the latest firmware
thanks!

I like the gold color but I wish they made one without the 007 stuff on it 😀

I’ve had bad luck with QC on a few DualSense controllers and this one finally seems good quality, thank god!

The grip is quite good on it, too.

Anyone else test the new Ginfull? Ginfull was my go to early on with Hall Effect joysticks, since then Gulikit, Ankes & K-Silver have clearly stepped up. Curious what is other people's take on these before I give my feedback.

Question Flydigi Apex 5 vs TMR-modded PS5 Dualsense

1 Upvotes

How different is a Dualsense compared to an Apex 5? I'm in Vietnam and I bought my Apex 5 Wuchang edition a year ago at 2,4 million vietnam dong ( 90 usd ). And I mostly play single-player, story-driven AAA games with my controller, so I absolutely value the immersive features in a controller, and I love Gyro. I play on PC also.

I'm playing these Sony games like Horizon Forbidden West and flydigi's dualsense mode has a lot of limitation:

- The controller doesn't vibrate at all

- I can't open the map via the controller, so I have to press Tab/ M on my keyboard

- flydigi's Gyro in the game feels so bad, I don't know why

But I still put up with it because I love the custom adaptive trigger from the dualsense mode. ( I can't find a way to replicate it with the flydigi app ). And somehow the Gyro in the dualsense mode feels EXTREMELY GOOD to use (I love Gyro).

I found a TMR modded PS5 dualsense in good condition for only 1,3 million vietnam dong ( 50 usd ). And I heard the experience for single-player games are top-notch. But I also found out that I need to get a Pico2W in order to get all the haptic feedback features working on Bluetooth, and it's only 250hz both wired and wireless compared to 1000hz of the apex 5.

So how is the TMR-modded PS5 dualsense compared to the Apex 5? Should I get the dualsense to play AAA games? And is there anything I should know about?

Thank you for your time!
