I fear it’s the end of my red dual sense and getting another is quite expensive

My dpad on my dual sense has started to have issues with the left side where the dpad clicks down normally but the button started sitting lower and just kinda pressed down with zero resistance and didn't feel like it was being pressed down, and now it's the left right and down sides, the bottom being the worst with being very sunken in if it's hard to see in the picture, the down button feels like it's not even being pressed anymore.

I'd take it apart to take a look but getting to the dpad is a bit of work having to go all the way through the back and take pretty much everything out of the controller to get to it. So I may just have to call it dead at this point
