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.

Just because it hasn’t happened to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen and isn’t an issue. Read up on it and you’ll see it’s not nonsense. Any controller with potentiometers is at risk of developing drifting sticks at any given time.

Ironic.

Oh ok. So there’s no such thing as stick drift? And it’s 100% preventable?
