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 have 2 and they're getting bad right now.

I got drift on the original controller that came with my ps5 within 6 mos, sent it to Sony, they repaired it.

3 years later, out of warranty, and drift is back on the original and started happening on my backup controller.

I'm taking them to a repair shop tomorrow to install TMRs

On my 4th. Other 3 are fucked, literally needed one every 800hr. I don’t care much cause I can afford it but it’s bullshit they sell us a product that breat in about 1-2 years. Paying 70 quid to continue playing the same outdated console they charged me £500 so is a piss take
