    Wish they were more obsessed with making a controller that doesn’t develop stick drift and had better batteries.

      I’m curious about the stick drift thing.

      I have 3 controllers, two of which I’ve had since maybe 6 months after the PS5 was released since that’s about how long it took me to get one.

      Both controllers have a few hundred hours on them, neither have stick drift. The third one doesn’t have nearly the amount of hours on it since my kid spilled juice on it and I procrastinated for a few months to take it apart and clean it lol so I’m not considering that one.

      Is it really that bad or did I just get lucky? These things are almost 4 years old and still work perfectly fine.

          I got a ps5 before you did, and I have 2 controllers, and both have had battery failures and stick drift.

        I literally got stick drift a week after release day, ever since then I’ve gotten stick drift on two other controllers (just on ps5) It’s just a lottery and I’m fucking tired of it

        Had one for 3 months and then it started. Send it in and got a new one which works finde for the last month.

        It just comes down to luck I guess.

        I got two controllers with my PS5. Two months later they had both been replaced.

        I’ve only lost one out of 4 controllers to stick drift. So 25% chance, sample size 1.

      The last two generations of Playstation and Xbox controllers have all used the same Alps joystick modules.

      Elite Series 2 is the only exception I know of, I haven’t taken apart the Dualsense Edge so that one could be different too.
