  • My R2 buttons were sticking on both controllers so here is how you can fix it easily without paying money. Do this at your own risk because you may cause more damage to your controller.

    I'm really pissed off at Sony for making these defective controllers for the PS4. I never used to have these problems with my PS3 controller.

    I bought metal trigger buttons from China $8 they came with springs, I swapped out the crappy plastic Sony buttons put 2x springs in each button now the controller is 100% way better 👍👍👍

    Why do the controllers even come with these springs if they still function fine without them?
    Might as well save myself the time and take out the L2 spring while I'm at it so I won't have to do this twice later down the line.

    Ok so, I opened up my DS4, (I knew what the problem was before opening it. The L2 button is on override) so I took a look, although without disconnecting the ribbon because I had to see if I took off the rubber it would stop, but unfortunately it didn't.
    The problem lies on the blue film that's connected to the motherboard. (I don't know what you call the parts, I'm just a hrm student lol.)
    Any suggestions?

  • @DAN.eight6
    @DAN.eight6 8 лет назад +4

    the part which breaks off the triggers should generally be in your controller still, if you would like a better fix than this so called one then use some good super glue, patience and maybe a pair of tweezers would be handy (only glue the broken surfaces) to re attach the broken part and keep your spring and it will be 100% back to normal.

    • @crazy1ATE
      @crazy1ATE 6 лет назад

      dan dandan I've tried the superglue, it doesn't last,best bet is to replace the part instead of fixing a broken part that will always have a weak point where it broke off.

    The inside of my R2 button looks different than yours does. At 4:36 you had space under the plastic to slide the spring over. I don't have that space. Instead it is filled in with black plastic.

    nada, this video doesn't work for ALL dual shock models...if you pay attention to the button the stick is long and the spring goes on with np, but the buttons on my sony ps4 controller R2/ L2 are smaller, which means the rods are smaller. so that's why you can fix it as quick with no problems....

    Btw, the button was detached by a 12 year old playing a fighting game. Sony, your quality control messed up.
