The buttons on my PSP 2000 are quite mushy.

Is there any way to alleviate this issue? A case from Deal Extreme came with my purchase, but I'm not very impressed with it.
Are the PSP 2000 buttons normally mushy? Is there any way I could treat the rubber on the buttons to stiffen them? or any modifications?
Options?

Compared to the nice click of say a 3ds or even DS, the PSP buttons seem really mushy.

The reason why the 3DS has the click feel in its controls is because Nintendo used dome switches for it. It's like a plate on top of the switch that twists inside when we press the buttons. Gameboy Advance SP too used this type of switches.

From what you mentioned, your PSP might have broken rubber pad inside which made it too mushy. When the rubber gets torned, the tension is decreased and so it becomes mushy. I cannot say this for sure unless I see it in my hands.

To resolve this issue, I could only suggest you to open your PSP and if the rubber is ripped then swap them with a new set. Also, the screws inside should be tightened enough so that the board doesn't move when the buttons are pressed.

  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    @BigOnYa Godreborn sadly went crazy. I didn't spoke a lot with him, but on Discord he messaged me for some weeks before he left. Not sure if I may share his personal situation, but honestly it's nothing he didn't made clear over here. I'll try to be brief: He was having a bad time due to bipolarity. And he was messaging me that he wasn't feeling good emotionally speaking.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Then something happened between Chary and him, again, nothing he didn't made publicly already, but if curious you should check his last threads.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Then, after that last thread, sone users began to mock him. I tried to mock him because he was giving me over 80 notifications per day about his "jokes", but I just stopped replying. I think he took personal the whole situation of me not replying to his same jokes repeated over and over and his personal thingy with Chary was the drop that spilled the glass or whatever. So he got banned fir his behavior towards Chary or something.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Really can't tell much as the last thing he wrote me via Discord was: "you hurt me really bad with your last joke" (He joked I sucked hus BaNaNa all day and I told him that Chary wouldn't even touch him with her bat whilst his mom sucked my BaNaNa every night) and I think he took it really personal. Mind you, that was my first response after 3 months of constant "Juan sucks my BaNaNa" jokes every day.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Oh yeah forgot about the entire Chary thing lol
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    And then he went even crazier and began blaming everyone for his situation (be aware that he's bipolar and I personally live with a bipolar person) so I immediately knew something was gonna get awfully wrong, even Flame and I talked a bit about that, and I warned Flame something like this would happen soon.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    But yeah, basically that... Godreborn couldn't take a joke when he was the one that started it all. Again... not justifying my one joke... but it kinda got me tired. Hehe. So... there...
