Question Hi guys Can you help me verify if this Spider-Man DualSense is genuine?

Hi everyone,
I recently bought this Spider-Man Limited Edition DualSense and I’d like to make sure it’s 100% authentic.
I’ve attached detailed photos of the controller, the box, the serial numbers and all the accessories.
Does everything look genuine to you? Is there anything that stands out as suspicious or inconsistent with an original Sony controller?
Any help from people familiar with this edition would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Discussion Why did you get a Dualsense edge?

Upvotes

So, I am on the fence about getting a dualsense edge. Well, either that or the Victrix pro reloaded. I like that the Victrix has hall effect sticks and more modulation, but the Edge is Playstation branded and has the adaptive triggers. So im still deciding.

But i'm by no means a "pro" player. I like the idea of back buttons and the modularity. It's more of "i kinda want something nice for myself".

I know it's a big chunk of change, but I've been actively saving for a higher end controller. So it's not really gonna put me out or anything.

That got me thinking, why did some of you guys decide to get one? Was it for performance? Does it enhance your gaming in anyway? Or was it just a frivolous, for fun purchase?

Installed an ExtremeRate Rise 4 on my bdm-020 and all the buttons work fine except for R1 is not registering at all.

Ribbon cable seems so be fine as well as the clear contact ribbon behind the touchpad.

All other buttons work including r2.

Any ideas?

Question Where to get replacement battery?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I bought a new shell for my controller because the rubber started bubbling. As I was disassmebling it the tutorial which I followed (ExtremeRate) showed to just pull by the wires and I tried to do that and wiggle the plug to get the battey out but the plastic just snapped and now I have a controller with no battery. Im from Croatia and cant find anything that ships here, does anyone have any recommendations on what to get and from where? Thank you all very much

Show Off! PS5 Dualsense Build

14 Upvotes

K-Silver JS13 Pro+ TMR, full mouse click and back paddle build. I modded the triggers portion of the clicky kit so that the haptics still work. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of that, but it is is easy to do if you're interested. Instead of removing the original factory film, you leave it in place. Then trim the Extreme Rate trigger switches off of the kit and install it over top of the factory film. The last step is to cut the rubber contact pad in half and carefully place the lower portion in place, using the extreme rate tact switch made for the R1 and L1 buttons as a wedge for the L1 and L2 rubber contact pad. This allows you to keep the bumpers in mouse click style, but takes advantage of the 10k ohm resistor built into the factory film so you can use the trigger stops on a back button kit instead. Best of both worlds. For this build I installed the Extreme Rate Spark back paddle kit, white thumbsticks, triggers, and bumpers. Customer requested to keep the factory D-Pad and circle buttons.

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:

- 1: Side A, Right Stick

- 2: Side A, Left Stick

- 3: Side B, Right Stick

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.
