A growing number of gamers are voicing concerns about the right trigger on the PSVR2 controller, claiming it provides less feedback than the left. This issue has sparked a flurry of discussions on user boards, with reports of defective triggers straight out of the box.

Understanding the Trigger Issues

Users have taken to various forums to explain that this problem may stem from multiple technical factors or even minor mishandling. One user noted their right trigger registered only a value of 0.7 when released, affecting gameplay significantly. They emphasized, "Your trigger should ideally have values of 1.0 and -1.0 when pushed down and released."

Some have suggested a series of fixes to remedy the situation. Simple actions like blowing air into the trigger or repeatedly flicking it can potentially bring the resting value closer to normal.

Common User Experiences and Solutions

Interestingly, while many users found temporary success in these fixes, others still experienced issues despite their triggers showing correct values. A disappointed user shared, "Sadly, none of these worked for me and both triggers show 1.0 and -1.0." This raises questions about the consistency of the triggers and the overall quality control process at Sony.

Reported Fixes Include:

  • Air Blowing: Blow air into the trigger to dislodge debris.

  • Flicking the Trigger: Repeatedly flick the trigger to reset its feedback.

  • Physical Adjustments: Some have resorted to more persistent measures to achieve the desired performance.

"The strategy that worked most consistently for me was unfortunately having to physically blow air into my trigger."

As discussions continue, gamers are left wondering: Is this an isolated issue or are more defective units slipping through quality control?
