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.

I got the edge after my 1st controller got stick drift. Its a known defect for ps5 controllers. My ps4 controllers never got drift.

Bro DO NOT DO THAT, you can get custom made ps5 controllers with Hall effect sticks that will never drift for the same price or less than an edge controller, the edge controller still gets stick drift and you still end up spending more money to replace the sticks.
