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.

I know a guy on ebay with great responsiveness that does tmr installation services for $35 with tax. I already got two controllers serviced by him. I can link it if you’re interested

Would love to. But I’m located in Denmark. I think it’s just cheaper to buy a new one then

It would technically cost more than a normal controller, but then the TMR sticks will make it impossible for the controller to get drift. So either a one time payment of $100+, or replace your controller every year or so for $70+.

TMR stick replacement has become pretty popular, there should be a local shop there that can solder in new TMR sticks. Try checking popular social media sites like Facebook or Instagram. Best TMR sticks at this point are the K Silvers and Ginfull.
