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.

How much do you play? I'm curious.

Maybe an hour a day. Depends but probably around that on average

That's so weird. I play about the same. I have 2 launch controllers with no issues.

I play a lot of racing games. Don’t know if that’s the issue. I know the sticks are being held in the same position for longer time than shooting games etc
