  • When your PS5 Controller starts having this problem.. Here's how to fix it! If your Playstation 5 contoller buttons start sticking, this is what to do. When PS5 controller buttons get stuck, it's easy to fix! Just follow these tips & tricks so your PS5 controller buttons don't stick.. First, I recommend using an air duster to remove any dust from the controller button. Clean the DualSense buttons & use a circular motion to stop the button from sticking to the controller. If you do this correctly, it will fix your controller!

    John at this point your YT channel should just come on a business card inside every system sold. Your videos get right to the point, and you seem to care more for what your content does for its viewers than what the content does for yourself. It’s not just rare, it’s a borderline anomaly.

      It's probably because more ads can be put into longer videos, which means more money, and already famous channels get more opportunity right off the bat. RUclips tries to keep small channels small to avoid more potential channels, which means more competition and the chance of losing viewers to other channels that are not as big unless a viewer really tries hard to share the video to many others to spread the video around. 😢

    Great tips! I usually use some denatured ethyl alcohol when dealing with stuff like this. But I have a different issue with the controller. I noticed the R2 button does an almost imperceptible creaking noise when you press it with the resistance turned off. If I blow in it for a bit, it doesn't do it anymore for some time, then it does it again. It doesn't affect the trigger in any way, but I'd like to know what may be causing the issue, as I think my Xbox One controller also had a similar problem.

    • @RogerCold009

      That problem is most likely the spoon almost breaking. And if it breaks, you will have to change it manually, or learn how to play with a loose R2. It's a cheap and easy fix either way, so I would always recommend fixing it

    I just got a fresh replacement controller after sending in my orignial due to drift (luckily I still had warranty) and the X button on the new one feels very mushy right out of the box. All the other buttons feel "button-y" and give decent feedback when pressed aside from X. Should I try this first or should I not risk anything and simply contact Sony again and say the controller doesn't feel right ?
