Ps5 dualsense teardown shows potential causes of drift issues

Ps5 dualsense teardown shows potential causes of drift issues
A new disassembly video of the DualSense controller from IFixIt has revealed the potential causes of the drift issues that some PS5 owners have been experienced.

IFixIt, that you can watch here, explains how the DualSense uses "standard joystick hardware with a long history of predictable and preventable problems.

These joystick modules are manufactured by a company called ALPS and were used by other controllers such as PS4 's DualShock 4, Xbox One and Xbox Elite controllers, and Nintendo Switch Pro controller. The number of particular model used in DualSense controller, RKJXV, has a life of two million cycles, while the life of the center thrust function is about 500,000 cycles.

IFixIt mentions that while this number can vary widely depending on how often you play games and the types of games you play, these coins can exceed their lifespan with a just over 400 hours of gameplay. This "back of the math towel" is based on the Call of Duty gameplay from IFixIt employees.

Have you played PlayStation 5?

YES

NO However, this assumes that there were no drift problems before this date. Just like the Nintendo Switch, there is already cases of DualSense drift problems, and Legal action has been taken against Sony for these issues.

However, IFixIt mentions that ALPS is probably not to blame for these drift issues and "is probably not the villain of this story. The main cause of the drift actually seems to be related to the faders, which help detect the type of movement a player is trying to accomplish .

Each joystick has two potentiometers perpendicular to each other, and they measure both up and down and left and right.

Potentiometers are a three terminal system that uses voltage to measure the position of thejoystick. The third terminal, known as the wiper, slides around a semicircular track. As you move the joystick, the position of the wiper - relative to a neutral, center position - lets the controller know where and how you are trying to move.

There are two other parts that can potentially cause problems, a spring that returns the joystick to a centered and neutral position and another that allows the throttles to be depressed. Over time, the spring may stretch and create a new off-center neutral position. This would make the faders think your thumb is moving the joystick even if you aren't, causing a drift.

Contaminants and imperfections can also cause drift, as they can alter voltage and can cause erroneous readings on terminals. These range from lHas plastic dust from crushed components to outdoor items like food or drink.

Otherwise, it is recommended to try to get a warranty replace or unfortunately buy a new DualSense. It is also important to note that the drift can occur to a brand new controller, because advanced calibrations are needed to make sure the potentiometers are working properly, and sometimes this does not happen.
