Reply to comment by obliviousjd in PS5 Console Bundle With Two DualSense Controllers Releasing Soon by chrisdh79

No, it’s Sony solution for the rampant stick drift.

I had stick drift with multiple PS4 controllers. Sucks they still haven’t fixed it. Now I use an Xbox controller on PC and haven’t had a single issue.

I just wish there were reasonably priced alternatives. Force Sony to make a durable, viable product.

PS4, Xbox One, PS5 and Series X use the exact same joystick boxes. As do Wii U Gamepad, Wii U Pro, and Switch Pro controllers.

I have 4 PS5 controllers , 3 of them have drift… any day the 4th will and I’ll have to buy another. 🥺

Meh, don't screw over the retailer because of Sony's bullshit. Better to fix the controller or get a cheap 2 year warranty on it.

Often won't work because they will point you to Sony, and Sony know the serial numbers.

That's bad luck. They aren't the most durable, but they shouldn't be dying like that. For reference, it's the same hardware as the PS4, Xbox and switch pro controllers (default controllers, not stuff like the Xbox elite controller)

I didn't know this was an issue until just now; I thought only the Switch had the problem.

I don't recall the PS2 or GameCube having drift issues, I wonder why these consoles do.

Don't buy new controllers, fix the ones you have. DS4 are extremely easy to repair, DualSense are similar but slightly less so.

how long have you had those controllers btw?

Not long enough... lets see here , the white one came with the cosole and ive had it since launch and it was the first to get drift.... Bought the crimson red controller and it has drift also and so does the black one... mainly using the camo controller now as it is the newest and still has yet to drift.

So did the OG controller drift within like a year or something? I'm only asking so I can gauge mine out of curiosity. I've had these 2 DualSenses for about 6 months now and I'm gonna see how far it goes.

I've always been skeptical of peoples anecdotes about drift sometimes because as long as we're not talking about joycons I feel like it comes down to usage only because the last time I got drift was on my dualshock 4 that I left to gather dust and even then that took 3 years to start drifting. started buying controller pouches ever since.

Regardless, I do believe that as long as you're not bashing the controller against a wall It shouldn't drift due to prolonged use but wear and tear is also a thing so I don't really know where to stand here.

The standard ps4, ps5, xbox and switch pro controllers all use the same stickbox and have similar drifting rates/issues.

Switch Pro and Wii U use the same stick boxes, and they're different than Xbox/PS.

What about the fact that now some PS5 will start to rot if they are left in their stand for too long?

What?

Apparently there are console repairmen posting images of PS5 leaking liquid metal (likely solder) from being too long in vertical upright position.
