    There is some flaws with this controller, it’s the second one I buy and the joy sticks are popping every time I move it, all my white controllers that I’ve had since launch don’t do this and this technically has better mechanics in the joy stick movement, honestly don’t but it if your ocd is high like mine.

    Bought it in April 2022 in January 2023 it stopped working. The left joystick gets stuck in the left position without even moving the joystick. PlayStation online service/repair system is useless. I’m disappointed that Sony makes things disposable and so cheap. Didn’t even last a year.
