Fix: PS5 Remote Not Working or Responding to Any Button
Everyone likes PS5 remote or the DualSence controller due to the comfort, design, and other feature, but the biggest drawback in the controller is to turn on the PS5 we have to press the PS button from the controller, and the thumb grip is not so smooth after few months of use. The plastic buttons are also not so handy, and sometimes we have to press many times to apply.
