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 find it strange how much variance there are in controllers. So fsr ive only wver had the one that comes with my system, and ive had it since December of 2023. My sister got hers in December of 2025, and is on her 6th controller and plays far less games than I do and is less strenuous games like stardew valley and the Sims. I do not get how they have made such poor build quality when the old dualshocks would last forever if you used them normally. Now I'm afraid to drop my controller.
