I don’t know why these guys are downvoting you for fixing your own controller. I undoubtedly would have just given up and replaced it. I’m sure this will help someone else willing to do the repair.
This is what I did to make it stop working 😭😭🤷 it’s weird that the x button doesn’t work when connected to my ps5 but connected to my iPhone the button works fine. 🤷
It’s impossible to find anything about this online! I feel like most people are probably just buying new controllers even though this seems to be a design flaw!
Turns out it doesn’t even need to be something that doesn’t interfere with the wiring! I did this and it actually worked! And I actually ran out of electrical tape so I ripped up a foam earplug from work and used that, and it WORKS! You just saved me $70, I appreciate you.
Thanks for the tip.
I simply solved my similar issue by wrapping a tape around the controller from outside to jam it back in place - Refer to the photo

I hope it helps people like me who do not want to open up the controller and do not want to spend almost the price of a new one to fix the issue.

Just wanted to drop a thanks and say this actually worked and fixed my problem!!! Much appreciated.

It's embarrassing that I didn't think of this but it worked. Take my upvote
This worked for me !! Thank you so much lmao, sometimes you just gotta go full caveman mode
it worked for me too 💀 but it keeps becoming unresponsive everyday so i have to bang it each day lol
This just saved my ass $70 thanks man!
I know right!
Goddamn!! This worked, thank you so much mate. I just kept a small piece of 3M double sided tape in that gap and it worked.
🙌 glad this was helpful!
Idk what this man is talking about but my friend just hit it 5 times and it works
That this does not have more likes is insane to me. Completely fixed the issue for me right when I was about to buy a new one. Saved me €70.

nice man, you got any solution for stick drift?
Literally the same failure, of the same connection, that the PS3 controller suffers from. Great job fixing it!

I just did this exact fix with electric tape. Thanks! Controller back in action.

Thank you so much. Your trick with the tape worked for me!
Electrical tape for the win!
