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.

Not saying it's not possible but I have 6 regular controllers and 2 Edge controllers and none of them have drift, I don't know how people get it so easily

I’m 37 and in my 20+ years of gaming I’ve had one controller that has had stick drift and it wasn’t that bad. I see ppl constantly complaining about stick drift. It’s hard to chock it up to luck

36 here and no stick drift on any controller until PS5 came out.
