        Have you looked into repairing them yourself? Had it happened with my PS4 controller and it was fairly simple to fix myself and it costed significantly less than buying a whole new controller

        I had it pretty consistently with every Joycon I went through; but I’ve had my PS5 for little over a year and I use it for PC gaming also without issue on the dual sense. Did they redesign them between when they first launched and more recently, maybe? I worry about it all the time because they’re $80. I can’t be replacing them all the time.

          Yeah we had the joycon fiasco as well .

          He runs 2 controllers - one has been fine. The other 2 got the drift

          It’s wild to me that flagship consoles ship with weak controllers - and I was reminded of it, when was using the x360 controller - which is battered and old probably 15 years old - and it still works perfectly.

          Even more annoying is I think they are selling a ‘pro’ controller now for Dual Sense edge or something- for 150 odd.

      I had mine maybe 8 months before the left stick started drifting hard. Completely unusable. And sony wanted me to go through all these hoops AND spend like $20 bucks to ship it to them.

      Ended up getting an 8bit Pro Ultimate instead, and so far it’s worked great! Has Hall-Effect joysticks too, so no chance of drifting ever. The major console makers NEED to switch to HE for the next gen.
