Hmm. Did you get your PS5 on release day here in SA? Both my controllers from then have had issues now, so that's not really impressing me....

I did, and I already replaced the original two controllers, just over a year ago ... new ones are now shot to **** as well
That's bad mojo. Did you research that the newer colours are actually slightly changed/updated? That's why I got a blue one when I replaced my first controller. Can't recall which of the other colours are the same.
Interesting. Surely they have applied this to all newly produced controllers?
I would have thought so as well, but the articles I read indicated it was newer coloured models that had the change. Don't know if it's still the same.

My replacements were still from the original batch made I would assume ... same model number as my original launch day set

Coloured and the newer white ones
Anyway to check?
I have one of those light blue controllers and a white controller, but I assume it is pretty newly manufactured as it was in the HFW branded packaging
Nice, both A
iirc not all the coloured ones are upgraded. Could be wrong though.
Yep, the one with the right trigger issue (release day) is a "1" and the replacement for the controller that had stick drift is an "A".
Shame on you Sony!! Ah well, I'd still rather have had my PS5 on release date
Are you keeping it in rest mode? Weird that it comes on...
I switch mine off but keep it plugged in, everything is plugged into a surge protector multiplug. Not sure if it helps but it still works fine after nearly 2 years of LS.
Always plugged in yeah. Have no need for rest mode. Its not like the PS5 can resume like an Xbox does anyway so why leave it in rest mode? Well, unless your downloading overnight or something of course. Had a number of power failures since launch. That's just the joy of living on the coast. PS5 checked storage every time.
And I've had four controllers since launch. Two launch whites were both drifting and one's spring snapped while I was playing Cyberpunk . Swapped it out with PartServe and from that exchange one drifted almost immediately again. Threw it away. The other white is still ok but hardly ever used as I bought two new reds. They are fine.
I won't touch a white ever again due to the chance of it being old version stock.

Turn off HDMI CEC in the settings. It is turning on because the Tv is turning on due to HDMI CEC being enabled on the TV.
