Two days ago, I helped a friend replace one joystick from a PS5 controller, it was hard to desolder without proper equipment but we managed to do it.

I was horrified at how cheap the buttons and joystick really are, the buttons are membranes or cheap PCB board buttons, the joysticks use small potentiometers and the same PCB buttons.

I was expecting something more sophisticated, especially after having assembled several mechanical keyboards with complex switches that can last for a lifetime.

    Makes me wish GameSir or a similar quality brand could make dualsense-alikes

    I haven’t bought any 3rd party controllers for the PS5 yet but got a $30 DS4 knock off years ago that is more comfortable in the hand and has a battery that lasts longer than any two Sony controllers put together
