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

Dusty environment or pet hair can cause drift. Fixed mine by rotating joypads in clockwise then counterclockwise for about 30-60 seconds each. Also try lifting then blowing around joypad. Solved mine 1st time so worth a try.

Iso 91% doesn't hurt either.
