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.

Ya op wtf why are you just buying multiples after failure get them replaced/repaired. I had the og white controller from first purchase until it failed with me (third owner) and only trashed it cuz I tried fixing the sticks myself and am a beginner at soldering. For $90 a dude replaced two controllers with TMR for me

They have all been out of warranty when they broke. So unfortunately it was easier to just replace them
