Dualshock 4 controller issue

[Akira]

But does the old one work fine in terms of responsiveness despite its 'stickyness'?
If thats the case, then at least you can establish where the problem lies.

If not, then I wouldnt know immediately what the cause is.

hard to test quickly, as i can go hours without the issue occuring but i dont remember having it happen on the old one
