I bought 9 PS3 controllers for $40... how bad could they be?

Thanks for the info! Yeah I've been hearing some people mention the clear controller needs a dongle too, that's a shame, but ah well I feel less guilty for not fixing it now lol Yeah I figured the issue with the new stick must just be because it's calibrated for Xbox One, I'll probably order a pack of PS3 modules and maybe I'll install those on stream!

Jolly Chrimbus Matt!. Just watched, and fairly certain (as an ex test employee of a trade in store) that the clear controller has a button next to the USB port for Sync/Reset to an external dongle, much like the battery-powered one. But Kudos for repairing the other offical pads. Sticky/worn down sticks and surrounds are pretty common for PS3 plastics so excellent replacing those. And Re: the overly sensitive replacement stick; the green vari-resistor packs on the sticks have different values for different controllers is all. Getting sticks with values simlar to the ones removed would give the sticks a less erratic output. Hope any of this helps, and thanks for the content this year. Wishing you a great 2023.
