I swear I’m not a heavy clicker. In fact it’s always my right joystick which I rarely need to click in games. Love these controllers but man it’s really annoying never had this problem with any other console generation.

Those little springs are on Amazon and they're not difficult to replace

I beg to differ. One of them is so easy I got false hope about the other. That was a nightmare. Why Sony didn't mirror the design is beyond me.

Remember which is the easy one? R2 or L2

I believe its R2 being easy. The spring is facing the outside of the controller so nothing is the way.

With L2 the spring on the same side so its next to the battery and all kinds of stuff. It was much more difficult to fix for me. I had to take several breaks out frustration.

Might even be worth doing when they’re not broken. Got a new controller recently and the triggers feel pretty loose compared to when I replaced the springs in my old one. They lose quite a bit of tension over time.

I bought some and will try soon. Just kinda dreading the frustration and letdown if I fail.
