Hey Jake, seeing you work on those sticks really brings back memories of when I struggled to fix a PS3 controller with the same issue. I ended up using an electric solder pump to desolder it-it wasn’t perfect, but it made handling that low-melt solder a bit easier. What do you think? Is fixing this type of controller worth it in the end, especially with all the cleaning involved? I was fixing PS1 and PS2 controllers not too long ago, but honestly, the resale value didn’t seem to make it worthwhile. Do you think PS4 or PS5 controllers might be a better option? I’d really love to hear your thoughts-your experience on this kind of stuff always gives me a new perspective!
This is horrifying
