My Dualshock 3 Makes a Crackling Noise When Twisted

I have two brand new Dualshock 3's and both of them make a crackling noise when twisted or pressed. Normally, I wouldn't be so nit-picky about such a thing, but after paying $50 bucks for a controller I expect it to be solid. I'm thinking of returning them but I wanted to ask if anyone else's DS3 does this, or have I just been unlucky?

They all do that, from what I've experienced. They're not quite as solidly built as you'd expect, unfortunately.DJ_Lae

You don't need to twist your controller to play a game, so don't. Problem solved.LightR

I dont normally jump into a thread with a smart arse comment, but since when did twisiting plastic not make a cracking sound? its the fact the controller is brand new that it makes the crackling noise you say, its because it has been newly formed and with use it gets used to the give.

good thing you didnt get the old sixaxis so them things were made from egg shells. the dualshocks are much stronger but even at that they arent as strong as the ps2 pad or the 360s they skimped out and used really cheap plastic

It has to do with the fact that the dualshock has more parts, and more moving parts inside the controller
