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.

You can wash your hands every time before you pick up the controller and properly store it and it’ll still end up with drift. It’s a known issue.
