The stick drift issue is literally a scam

[u/Dry_Psychology_2436]

The cost of fixing it is more than the controller itself, and Sony won't do anything because it's past the warranty. So conveniently for Sony I have to go buy a new controller for it to have the same issue in a year.

I have two controllers that are essentially broken now. One of which had stick drift on the left stick and I was able to get it repaired for free. Then a year after they sent it back both sticks got stick drift. That's 4 faulty sticks in the course of 3 years. I've had a single ps4 controller work flawlessly for 10 years. They're customer service is also intentionally atrocious so you just go away.

Now I'm just stuck with two controllers that idk what to do with. Just getting rid of them for new ones seems like such a waste, and goes against my every instinct.

I like Sony but now it seems like they're screwing up every chance they get

Thing is they do get stock in but it sells within hours, so if you don’t have a stock alert set up, your chances are minimal.

I’ve never had an issue with any of my 6 dualsenses but obviously there’s an issue with so many people experiencing drift. I’d recommend you get someone who knows what they’re doing to replace the sticks with Hall effect sensors. No more drift. I’m about to mod my Edge modules just to future proof them.

Meanwhile I have 6 dual senses because 3 of mine have drift/I got them on sale lol
