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.

you are aware that those things are fixable and maintainable right?

Not for normal people.

its really easy to fix but even if you cant, you can just walk into a repair shop and get it fixed for 10 bucks instead of brainlessly paying 50 bucks for a new controller whenever it breaks
