Why do wireless PS2 controllers stop working after some days?

[Windows_10_User]

actually, now that I think about it, I don't think you need to plug in the dualsense for the ps5 to sync, only to update the controller. I know I also didn't have to connect the dualsense to my nvidia shield to sync it to that either.

I don't think it's needed to connect DualSense to update it.

it is. I tried it without, but the update button is greyed out unless you plug it in.

But for the first time or after syncing it?

I have to disable the modchip or I get a black screen with all options of the fmcb.

I don't remember, but you don't have to here.

Why do you get a black screen? I'm asking out of curiosity because I only installed FMCB via FDVDB and I never installed a modchip.

just when updating the controller, I think it needs to be plugged in.

I don't know why you get a black screen with a modchip. there's not a lot of info about it. I even asked helder, and he didn't know either. he doesn't have a modchip in his system, this is before I figured out it needed to be disabled.

Why? Is it because their battery is wasted? If so, replacing it should fix the problem, no?

Replacing battery would solve the issue if you can get for it. I had a PowerA very comfortable controller for PS3, but the battery died and the triggers didn't work very well (it looked brand new).

Every PS Move Navigation Controller I ordered doesn't work wirelessly. Does that mean their battery is screwed up, and if so, doesn't the vendor know about this?

A new/working battery would solve the issue, unless it's a cable disconnected.

But shouldn't vendors sell devices with working batteries? Is it bad luck none of them were working or it's normal since the devices already have some years (but that also goes for other devices which are even older and work fine)?

How hard is to get one and replace the old battery? How can I know if it's the battery's fault? Even if I successfully replace it, who guarantees it won't stop working some time after or already comes dead?

It's been years so they're not responsible it doesn't work anymore, that's up to the customer if he/she wants it working.

However, when it's still within 1-2 years then you have a warranty though this is for new products, not ones released a decade or two ago.

But at least they should try them before selling them.

PlayStation 2 was NEVER supposed to support wireless controllers. The same goes, albeit more incidentally, with the Nintendo GameCube.

What about the official (I think) Logitech Cordless Action and Logitech Cordless controllers? By the way, what's the difference between them?

My PS Move Motion controller is very hard to control. I want it to go to the next above, below, left and right settings and it always goes to another setting that's very (or somewhat, at least) above, below, left or right the settings I want. I tried to calibrate it on the XMB but it stayed the same. It's very sensitive.

My PS Move Navigation Controller is always charging but doesn't work wirelessly. I put it in the official PS Move Charging Station the whole night and it still isn't working wirelessly.

Uh, I'm sorry to tell, but you got me on something I don't know anything of.

According to Wikipedia, those 2 Logitech controllers are officially licensed.

At launch, it works, but it's been a decade or two since then.

The Logitech PS2 Wireless controllers look amazing though I've never owned one because they're not exactly cheap.

I prefer MadCatz controllers, especially the small ones (while my hands are big for it).

That doesn't invalidate my question. I could buy a new battery and manually replace the current one and it couldn't work too.

I had one of them (from Logitech) but it stopped working in the next days.

it's easy, just push the little tab to the other option (not ps2), then connect both usb cables. download the update, then click on the exe button. it will tell you to hold the sync button while you plug in the device, so do that. then click on "update game compatibility" checkbox and start. it will update and say it was successful once done, which shouldn't take very long.

Never mind, I got it working.

EDIT: Now, when running wLE_ISR on the PS2 and clicking on a folder ("mc0:/", for instance), it often opens it and immediately turns back, not to mention sometimes nothing happens after clicking a button (inside and outside wLE_ISR) or I have drift (outside wLE_ISR). I don't know if it's the DualShock 3's fault or Brook Super Converter's. I have to restart the PS2 when this happens.
