To know if a PS5 controller is broken, check for several signs: unresponsive buttons, analog sticks drifting, won't charge, or connectivity issues. Restart the console, update the controller’s firmware, and try using it with another device to rule out console problems. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, the controller might be faulty and need repair or replacement.
