another Sixaxis controller issue - Blu-ray Forum

Thegide · 12-21-2007, 05:01 AM

prompted by the other post.

has anyone had experience with sticky buttons on the sixaxis? one of my controllers came from the factory with an "X" button that tends to get caught on the main casing (or something else) and sticks.

annoying as all hell. just looking for advice before i crack it open.

never had that problem altho sumtimes i hit the stupid ps button on accident its really sensitive im not sure tho.does it happen with all your controllers?

No problems with either of my controllers. If it doesn't loosen up after a few hours of playing see if you can get it replaced as that can get really annoying during a game I'm sure. I used to accidentally hit the ps button but haven't in quite some time now.

i bump the PS button A LOT. in the middle of a heated battle, or playing a hoops game with my wife. she thinks i do it purposely to mess her up. i swear it is an accident. also, the shoulder buttons are ultra sensitive. sometimes the R2 button will get depressed just from pressing R1 too hard.

My advice is simple.. DO NOT CRACK IT OPEN!
If you do, Sony will not replace the faulty unit for free.
Just go to the store and say it was broken or call Sony. Either way I am sure you could get it replaced for free. It sounds like a bad controller to me, as I've never had any issues with Sony controllers before.
