PostSixaxis maintenance/replacement
by OnlyShallow » Fri Sep 12, 2008 10:08 am

The left hand joystick on my pad is very slightly busted. In its neutral position it points up (very annoying when playing R&C and I have just lined up a jump only for Ratchet to turn to his left).

I was thinking of cleaning the contacts but I am a bit wary of opening it up and springs exploding all over the place. Has anyone tried this yet?

Or do you think it would just be easier to replace the pad and if so do I go for a sixaxis again (I reckon they will be really cheap now) or do I go for the dual shock?

I think God is telling you to buy a DualShock.

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.

I put atheist on the religion thread so that means nothing to me. Plus I thought God was more of a Nintendo man.

I took apart a PS2 controller and the L2 and R2 buttons wouldn't work after.

It's worth a go, you're controller is fecked either way

Good point.

What is the general consensus of those who have a dualshock. Is it worth buying that over the sixaxis. What games are rumble enabled?
