| ***UPDATE***: The jitter came back, and didn't leave. You might be lucky, but for all the fuzz required to get this working, I would rather recommend replacing either the carbon tracks, [link|https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005588271591.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.0.0.58adamOyamOyG4&gps-id=pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.40050.281175.0&scm_id=1007.40050.281175.0&scm-url=1007.40050.281175.0&pvid=6432e501-2bc4-4a6f-a645-fd149abce4cc&_t=gps-id:pcDetailTopMoreOtherSeller,scm-url:1007.40050.281175.0,pvid:6432e501-2bc4-4a6f-a645-fd149abce4cc,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238115%232000&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21NOK%2113.29%2110.55%21%21%211.26%21%21%402103241116922713330407615eb003%2112000033669232261%21rec%21NO%211764823525%21|potentiometer|new_window=true], or the [link|https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004987295095.html?algo_pvid=2a75dd09-333a-451e-986e-42ecad5e617d&algo_exp_id=2a75dd09-333a-451e-986e-42ecad5e617d-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21NOK%21102.76%2151.38%21%21%219.74%21%21%40210318b916922715470847956e0f67%2112000034963782343%21sea%21NO%211764823525%21&curPageLogUid=u048UqI8tnRc|entire joystick module|new_window=true] (which requires soldering).

(I have not bought from the links above, do your own research.) | | | I chose the lazy route, and did an RMA with Scuf directly, which cost me ***70£*** including freight. Next time I'll go that route ☝🏻. | | | In the hopes it can help someone, I'll leave this guide open, but consider yourself warned :/ | | | ---- | | | My Scuf Reflex FPS for PS5 started jittering out of all bounds, rendering it useless after only 9 months. I asked for a refund/replacement, but knowing it would take weeks, might not be covered by the warranty, and that their only service dept is in China = a hefty price tag, I decided to give it a go. | | | After some trial and error, I went from a useless to a 100% working unit, without purchasing any additional components. Your results may vary, and this might fail tomorrow, but at least it is a pretty simple test. | | | While there were a lot of other DualSense guides here, none addressed this common problem without a complete replacement, so for what it's worth, here are my five cents. |
