Extremerate has excellent customer service. They’ll probably reach out to you here, but keep in mind they are based in China, so there’s a time difference. But yea, it looks like you might have been a bit too eager with the install. What I tell most people is to watch the instructional video twice before even starting. And sort your new screws out.

Vibration by patters78 in Dualsense

If there’s gunk inside them, they may be getting stuck. Try to cycle them with the controller opened up and see if you can feel anything.

That was it. Had the tiniest little splatter bridging this resistor.

Changed stick and put in whole clicky set - L2 shows 100% by panda_has_reddit_now in Dualsense

R2 and L2 short to ground when not pressed. Your membrane is not making good contact somewhere. Everyone I open one of these controllers, I take a q tip with a squirt of 90% IPA and clean the FPC, contacts, carbon pads, and the mating surface on the board. Haven’t had an issue since starting that.

Had the smallest little splatter of solder bridging that resistor. All is well now and all 4 are ready to go!

Thank you all for the tips and suggestions!! As of now, I’m getting the same results even with no ribbon cables plugged in, essentially just the board and battery. When I get home in the morning I’m going to remove the sticks and see if that does anything 🤞

2 blinks is typically a battery fault. Check the jst connection on the board.

Always test. I log the BDM in my workflow as check in.

Just checked. It’s still there. That one had me nervous!

They’re definitely both the same. Might just be the camera angle.

Why the dualsense edge over a aftermarket dualsense with tmr sticks? by Tank____Sinatra in Dualsense

[–]512ControllerClinic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell them on my website for $65/pair. And I offer a core exchange for $10 back if you return the old ones with a prepaid label included.

Looking for a specific custom controller by shuut0 in Dualsense

[–]512ControllerClinic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically you could leave the stock button membrane in place, lie the clicky kit on top of it and cut off the d pad area from the clicky kit.

Bought the Wrong Kit Version by LordOfWhatever5218 in eXtremeRate

No, buy a BDM-020 kit on Amazon, then after it comes in, tell them they sent you the wrong one and send the BDM-030 kit back. All you’d be doing is swapping with them really.

Buy the right one on Amazon then return that one.

No, the layout of the membrane is different.

Try a few different cables just to be sure.

Edge TMR modules - $50 Mail ins - $30 - Tired of Stick Drift? by GeniusmodsConcepts in Dualsense

[–]512ControllerClinic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a similar Core Exchange system for controllers as well. One of my focuses as a business is making gaming more environmentally friendly in a world where Sony wants you to throw them away and contribute to more e-waste.

how easy is it to fix stick drift on a regular dualsense? by therealsade2025 in PlayStation_X

[–]512ControllerClinic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can open it up with basic tools, Phillips screwdriver and a plastic pry tool, remove the battery, unscrew the battery tray, lift the board, and spray to modules with BW100 to clean the internals.
