We recently assisted a customer with an interesting PS5 Controller Trigger Spring Repair that highlights the variety of issues these sophisticated peripherals can experience. Whilst stick drift dominates controller repair discussions, today we’re sharing details about a different type of fix: a broken trigger spring.
Many gamers may not realise that the Playstation 5 DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers are complex mechanical systems. These triggers rely on several components working in harmony, including a crucial spring mechanism that provides the signature resistance and feedback PlayStation 5 players have come to appreciate.
In this particular case, our customer reported that their trigger had become loose and unresponsive. Upon inspection, we discovered that the internal spring had snapped, resulting in the loss of that characteristic trigger tension. This issue particularly affected games utilising the adaptive trigger feature, such as racing titles where trigger pressure controls acceleration.
We carefully disassembled the controller, being mindful of the intricate haptic systems. We replaced the damaged spring with a new one, ensuring the repair would maintain the controller’s original feel and functionality. After reassembly, we thoroughly tested the trigger’s resistance and adaptive feedback across various games.
The repaired PS5 controller now functions perfectly, demonstrating that professional repair services can address a wide range of DualSense issues beyond the common stick drift problem. If you’re experiencing any issues with your PS5 controller or any other Playstation 5 repairs, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team for a diagnostic assessment.
