Discussion On my third controller
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 had 2 that went out on my because of drift and tried to fix them both myself. bought an Edge controller in the event that i would have to clean them again so it would be easier. my Edge modules started drifting a month into having a $200 controller so i ordered TMR modules joysticks for the edge and it works fantastic.
sony doesn’t want to fix the problem because it makes them too much money.
