The video revolves around the unboxing and evaluation of three used PlayStation 5 DualSense controllers purchased from GameStop. The presenter first assesses the external condition, noting typical wear and some texture loss, with minor sanding improvements by GameStop. Upon testing and disassembling the controllers, the presenter identifies various internal issues such as subpar soldering, flux residue, evidence of liquid damage, and missing components like the speaker.
Despite these flaws, the controllers generally function well with minimal stick drift. The first controller shows signs of having a cheaper, non-original analog stick, possibly replaced by a third party. The second and third controllers, while having varying levels of external cleanliness, are internally well-maintained with original, factory-made analog sticks and no significant damage. Overall, the video questions the value of buying these used controllers at a modest 10% discount and invites viewer feedback on the topic.

In this segment of the video, the presenter unboxes three used PlayStation 5 DualSense controllers purchased from GameStop to evaluate whether they are a good deal despite only a 10% discount. They note that the controllers seem to have been used returned items. The external condition shows typical wear and dirt, with noticeable texture loss on the thumbsticks. There’s some minor sanding by GameStop, but it’s better than expected.
The presenter tests the first controller’s buttons and finds that everything functions well, with only minimal stick drift. They then proceed to disassemble it for an internal inspection, noting unusual flux residue and subpar soldering quality on the battery wires. One analog stick appears to be factory original while questioning the originality of the other due to differing conditions.

In this part of the video, the presenter examines a game controller and discovers that the analog stick has been replaced, likely by someone other than the manufacturer, using a lower-quality part. Symptoms of past liquid damage are also observed. Despite this, the controller functioned properly in a brief gamepad tester check. The presenter criticizes the use of a cheaper analog stick but notes that GameStop, who sold the used controller, probably didn’t notice the switch as they likely didn’t open it up for inspection. Additionally, it is revealed that this controller is missing its speaker, which GameStop also likely overlooked. Moving on to a second controller, the presenter notes its better exterior condition with minimal wear and tests its buttons and analog sticks, finding them generally in good condition.

In this part of the video, the speaker inspects two used gaming controllers. Controller number two is dirty on the outside but functions well. The analog sticks are factory-made, the battery shows no liquid damage, and the internal components like the springs are in good condition. The speaker finds it acceptable for a used product. Moving on to controller number three, it is noticeably grimier with significant “finger cheese,” but internal inspection reveals it to be clean and well-maintained. The analog sticks are also factory-made. Despite the external dirt, the inside is in pristine condition, making it overall satisfactory.
