First, try doing a soft reset by turning off your PS5 and disconnecting the controller for a few minutes. If that doesn't work, you can open it up carefully and check for any obstructions or loose connections. Just remember to have the right tools and be gentle!

I had this issue before. I fixed it by cleaning around the button with a small brush and some isopropyl alcohol. Worked like a charm!

In my experience, if the R2 button is sticky or unresponsive, it might be a spring issue inside the controller. You can find replacement springs online and swap it out with a bit of patience and a YouTube tutorial.

Just buy a new controller. The hassle isn't worth it.

Make sure your controller firmware is updated. Sometimes, a simple software update can solve hardware issues. Go to Settings > Accessories > Controllers and check for updates!
