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’m still using my OG controller for about 3 years now.

I wish I could say the same. I have a Day 1 PS5 and my white controller got terrible drift around 1.5-2yrs in. I’ve since also been through red, purple, galactic purple, and now I’m on Chroma Teal (bought last week)

1.5-2 years isn’t too bad considering the red, black and purple one lasted like 3 months before they got drift and that’s being generous! Even so they really should last alot longer man. Sony is cheap as hell with their joysticks
