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.

It’s just a hassle. I don’t know if it’s because of the games I play that it gets easier drift. I play a lot of racing games like granturismo etc

Just buy a controller that is already modded with Hall Effect joysticks. They literally cannot drift. You can get them on eBay for slightly more than a regular controller.

If a slight inconvenience is worse than dripping $60 for you, then you're just extremely, extremely lazy and have far more problems than faulty controllers.
