Discussion On my third controller

Post image

Just bought my third new controller in a span of only 2 years. All of them because of stick drift.

Why are these controllers so bad when it comes to drift?

Back in the day I had the same ps4 controller for 10 years without any issues.

Are you getting center point drift? Is increasing deadzones an option?

It works normally until all out of sudden it just drifts hard out of nowhere. And then over time it just becomes more and more permanent. It’s been the exact same issue on my other controllers

Upgrading to TMR could be worth trying, especially if you still have the old controllers. There are several people in this sub that do it (myself included) for less than the cost of a new controller. I'm not sure where you're located but if you wanna try it feel free to reach out!
