Dualshock 4 triggers issue

I've had somewhat similar problems with xb1 controllers myself. I dropped mine once and now at random times it spams up on the D pad which makes it rather difficult to make designs on Forza as I can't keep any decals still. A friend of mine dropped his a couple times and now when he leaves it still, the left stick goes partly up without actually moving physically, which becomes a problem when he's afk and his character in gta and cod wanders around slowly with no purpose. I've not heard of any fixes for these kind of problems, and I'd imagine it'd have to do with all the internal junk, making it somewhat broken beyond repair. Nothing better to recommend than to buy a new controller sorry.

Yea I'll need to properly test it and see what value is being registered. I've ended up using a new controller and I can even feel a difference in the acceleration with the new controller. I still haven't found any solution for fixing the controller so unfortunately, I think we'll have to just use new controllers for now.

Ah, nice find! I'll try this out if my 2nd controller gets worn out too. Hopefully it doesnt come to that as I'm pretty sure these issues are more common in the earlier DS4 controllers.

I can't say the same about my PS3 controllers. Over the years I had it, I ended up getting a total of 3 new controllers for it. First two I got with the console had worn out springs (did not reset to neutral when you let go). One of them had minor creep forwards on the left stick. After those were deemed a lost cause (mostly because of the creep), I picked up a second batch of two, until they started randomly disconnecting from the PS3. More annoying than it sounds, especially when they only stayed connected for ~10-30 minutes at a time. Then, got a fifth one that's been serving me well since.

Regardless, I'm having issues with my PS4 controllers. One of their stick pads fell off (partially due to these grippy covers that were a pain in the butt to put on), and the second one had some issues with the left stick. Now, it has issues with R2 registering literally no input, after fixing the issues with the left stick.

I'm also having issues with the ds4, the first controller I got can no longer fully press down R2 so I had to buy a new one. Also I really dislike the design of the controller, when you put the controller down the L2 and R2 buttons sometimes get pressed in because there is no guard around the outside of the trigger. The trigger itself is what holds the controller up instead of the plastic casing below.
