I'd like to preface this with the fact that I'm aware this is likely my fault. But I'm unclear what I could have messed up and am looking for a narrow down of what may be happening.
The scenario:
I bought and installed the ExtremeRate LED panel for 2 of my 3 PS5 controllers, the midnight black model from the first batch of colored controllers. My wife's is the light blue one from later and it's stock, no modifications and never taken apart.
For those unfamiliar with the kit, it's an LED panel and replacement buttons that let me light up the controller by going over the regular panel, and hooking into it to intercept inputs to allow turning it on/off. It draws some power from the battery but a minimalistic amount and only when turned on.
The 2 black ones are having difficulty with 2 particular games: Stray, and the PS5 version of FF7R. I think it's the rumble in particular, as in Stray it would do it only when scratching things and in FF7 it always happens in the hectic parts of battle. This occurs on full battery.
The blue controller is fine and stands the test of both of these no problem.
The black ones are fine with every PS4 game I've played, and with Yakuza 7 at least. It was also fine for my entire run of Elden Ring.
When they turn off, they often take 2-3 attempts to reconnect. And sometimes, reconnecting doesn't go as planned and the controller will freeze with the light on and accept no input whatsoever. When this occurs, I can connect another controller and it's treated as Player 1 implying it didn't finish connecting, but the controller will still turn off when the PS5 does so it's still receiving some bluetooth signal.
Looking for a good place to get started on trying to fix this myself instead of buying new controllers.
