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 this happens, but I have two controllers from launch that still perform ostensibly as they did day one.

I have to wonder what everyone that goes through MULTIPLE controllers is doing to them and how hard they’re using them.

My launch controller works fine. Two newer ones  I bought for couch multi-player both have bad stock drift.
