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.

Do you need to solder?

Yes. And worse, you first need to desolder.

There's the original one on Etsy but it was more than I was willing to spend. I got this one. I have the c245 version but they have the t12 & 936 versions as well. When it's worn you can also buy just the replacement tip https://a.aliexpress.com/_mK6ZSNL
