Hi all, I used the PS5 controller with my PC. Been working fine. Suddenly it started acting up. I can't be sure if it started ever since I installed DualsenseX.
2 random lights show up on the controller (see attached photo), and the button on the trackpad is registering as pressed all the time. Nothing is stuck underneath. Everything else works fine.

I've tried another PC, a Mac, reset the controller via the reset button at the back. The firmware is up-to-date. What can I do? It's oow

I don't have a PS5. Don't have anyone closeby who has a PS5 either. I went to GameShop to see if i could pair it to thier console but they did not have one on display:/

TIA

Any help would be appreciated

I found something on the official playstation website (sorry for the long response) link to website https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/support/hardware/ps5-ps4-power-indicator-lights/

Hi, I appreciate the attempt to help, sadly your article is about the actual system, not the controller. Thanks nonetheless

Been using it with the wire itself, with or without it it's still the same

Update: in case it helps anyone who ever faces this issue, NO ONE has ever reported/faced this issue on YouTube and Reddit.

 

Basically, I opened the controller and cleaned the contacts of the ribbon cables The touchpad cable had a weird substance / dirt on it which i think was the culprit. Weird as it was never opened. The issue went away post this
