“Make sure the microphone on the controller is on Mmute. When the mic is active, the Adaptive Triggers aren’t as good,” advised a very helpful Reddit user. To the surprise of fellow members on the thread, this is the first time they’ve heard of this news.

“Wait, this is the first time I’ve heard this,” replied Revanthmk23200. “I have had my PS5 for about two years and never heard about this,” said octopusbroccoli to which the revealer of the helpful news responded, “Yep, it’s annoying that it’s not clearly mentioned anywhere, as far as I know.”
