DualSense Controller v2: Standard DualSense mic connector replacement – can I use Edge part?

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 06:50:29 -0700

Hi everyone,
I have a standard PS5 DualSense (not the Edge) and I need to replace the white 6-pin mic connector on the mainboard.
I found a replacement part that is listed for the DualSense Edge.
Does anyone know if the white 6-pin socket on the Edge is the same (same pitch and pinout) as the one on the standard DualSense?
Has anyone tried this?

DualSense Controller v2: Controller shows no signs of life.

Tue, 17 Sep 2024 20:01:22 -0700

Controller was working fine. Charged it and used it. Turned it off. And went to bed. Next morning, tried using it, No power. Does not charge. Or lights up. Attempted battery swap but still nothing. Do not want to exchange unless I have to due to it being the GOW Ragnarok controller. Any advice would be appreciated.

DualSense Controller v2: motion sensor stopped working after joystick replacement

Sat, 18 Nov 2023 22:51:23 -0700

I just soldered on new joysticks onto a broken DualSense with drift, now the controller gives no output on the gyroscope, I tried googling and couldn't find anything on what I could have possibly damaged on the board, I didn't use use any protective thermal tape or covering and did the job with a Yihua 959d heat gun and a Pinecil iorn with Ifixit's desoldering pump, nothing seems to have been unintentionally desolderd but that was my first time soldering anything board level so I may have cooked something by accident. Everything else on the controller works as expected, does anyone know what may have gone wrong here?

Want to ask a question about Dualsense. Is it normal when pressing R1 button faster or repeatedly causes the R1 button a bit sticky.

Can you guys test your dualsense, please?

Many thanks.

DualSense Controller v2: Dualsense touchpad cable broken (brown not white)

Sat, 27 May 2023 17:04:51 -0700

My dualsense V2 touchpad cable accidentally broken. I find the sparepart on marketplaces but didn't find the brown one. They only sell for the white version. I research for the brown version, it's soldered at the end one and uses socket at the end second. How to fix it?

DualSense Controller v2: Why is my touchpad sometimes drifting/disconnecting?

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 09:15:13 -0700

I have a blue DualSense controller that I bought secondhand off of eBay for a good price. It came in the original packaging and everything, and I couldn't discern anything wrong with it, playing titles like Astro's Playroom and Horizon: Forbidden West with no touchpad issues whatsoever. Then, I started experiencing problems once I began playing Ghost of Tsushima (PS5 edition), and the guiding wind function—a swipe-up gesture on the touchpad—wasn't working consistently, and then wasn't working at all. I took the whole controller apart, couldn't see anything obviously wrong with it, and put it back together. The problem was still there.
Later, in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the issue was inconsistent, but the swipe-left function, to access the in-game crime reporting app, would still work most of the time.
Finally, I'm currently playing Hogwarts: Legacy, which doesn't seem to have any need for touchpad gestures, but when I tried to use the touchpad to type in some account information, it was wigging out, detecting gesture input that I wasn't giving it. Has anyone else run into this problem, and is there a way to fix the issue without buying another controller just to harvest the touchpad?

DualSense Controller v2: Triangle button sticking down slightly

Fri, 09 Dec 2022 02:01:08 -0700

The triangle button on my 5 day old controller is sticking down slightly (half pressed). The other buttons (x, square and circle) also semi sticking but not as bad.

I have searched online and most answers say it dirt in the controller but how can this be if it's a new device which I have only used for 6-7 hours total? (I always have clean hands and don't eat food when playing)
