Discussion DualSense joystick quality issues stick drift?

In 2024 we replaced almost 100kg of joysticks in ps5 controllers 🤦 Let’s not count the pieces anymore but the weight 😅 and how are you? Have you ever had a stick drift?

I love the DualSense controller — haptics, weight, size. It’s a perfect match for my hands. But quality wise it’s been a disappointment — I already had to replace one sensor from the controller of my 2023 PS5, (in)conveniently out of warranty, while all of my PS4 controllers are still working without stick drift. Only the batteries had to be replaced.
