We will be continuing maintenance on the wiki starting this Saturday at 9 am (UTC) to Sunday at 7PM (UTC).
There is a possibility of long maintenance-breaks and downtime during this time.

DualSense
Power[edit | edit source]
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
PS5 controller does not charge |
Credit goes to My Mate VINCE, here is video of his finding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKs5DsDVNI8 |
Controller doesn't turn on when powered from USB |
Check the battery, Dualsense requires the battery to be connected and functional to work over USB |
Controller only charges with USB-C to USB-A cables and does not work as a data input following Type-C port replacement |
See the Compatible Parts section. |
Inputs[edit | edit source]
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
Controller analog drift (move by itself in-game) |
|
Controller does some things alone (in the game it enters the inventory itself or the character jumps) |
|
R2/L2 doesn't return to 0 or feels weird/crunchy |
Broken spring, common problem of early revision. You can replace this spring, you can also use the DualShock 4 spring. |

Diode Mode Readings[edit | edit source]
Use these diode mode maps as a guide to troubleshoot a problem. You must use the RED PROBE on ground and the BLACK PROBE on the pin you are measuring.
For example: You are troubleshooting a situation where USB-C to USB-C cables do not charge your controller, so you probe the pins on the USB-C connector that correspond to the CC lines. If a pin says you should read 1.4375 and you are reading OL or a short to GND then that's where you need to go.
If instead of getting 1.4375 you read 1.4216, move on to the next one. Remember, every multimeter is different and even slight differences in temperature affect these readings. What you are looking for is extreme differences in values; if you are expecting some value and you get a short to ground, that is where it is more likely to be your issue.
