I want to say it was me but alas it wasn't!

My son has a v2 elite pad that's not working properly. From memory its the shoulder pads and maybe stick drift. Is this something you could look at?

Lots coming in right now. If you give me a week or so I can take a look

I couldn't get the leaded solder to flow with hot air alone and I was terrified of burning the board lol. Those PS5 PCBs soak up some heat!

I got a port to do on a series X that is coming in. I'll record that as that's also a fat old board that soaks up the heat.

Just quickly reshelled and sorted out these 2...

Both had a case of rubber peel.

Vince, ever had a series 2 where the top paddles don't work ?
I've a couple, I have tried different paddles, if I take the paddle off and press it registers oddly. But then the paddles work on another controller.

Also got one to look at that's peeling like the above. Going to put a starfield shell on, think they look cool.

We talking rear paddles? Or top triggers?
