I’ve been thinking about getting one since it looks amazing but I’ve seen people saying the joysticks turn yellow, and that they scratch and show dirt more than other controllers, so how is yours holding up?

    1. Mines name is Aura. Its resplendent. Reflects everything and maintains shine. I love it

    2. I have had this one for about a year and I’ve had zero issues with yellowing or scratching. I do wipe my controllers down frequently though, not sure if that makes a difference or not for the yellowing.

    3. I’ve had mine for well over a year. The top of the thumbsticks can get a little grey but I wouldn’t say they yellow. If you always wash your hands before playing and wipe them down periodically you should be fine. 🤙

      Mine went yellow after eating carrots, but after cleaning them (thumb sticks) some and using it frequently for about a month it went away.
      I’ve had it for a year+ now and it looks good. No yellow

      Had mine since it released and haven’t had any of the problems you mentioned, just clean it on a regular basis and you should be fine

    6. I’ve had mine for a good while now, with almost daily use there’s no discoloration. I do use Kontrol Freaks, so I can’t speak for the thumb sticks.

    7. You can get [DualSense Edge style sticks with swappable tops](https://www.gamingcobra.com/products/extremerate-edge-sticks-swappable-thumbsticks-for-ps5-controller-custom-solid-white-replacement-interchangeable-analog-stick-joystick-for-ps5-for-ps4-all-model-controllers-universal-without-controller-p5j202?variant=44288795476207) in the same original white color and design and if they discolor beyond being cleanable you can easily swap them for fresh tops without having to open up the controller again.
