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 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
Yea same I have a couple of older controllers and never once experienced any issues with them. The same can’t be said for my damn Logitech mice that seem to fail every year.
I got stick drift on my first one within 200 hours and within 150 hours of the second one. I’ve never had stick drift on any other controller in my life and I’ve owned every major platform except for the Wii U all the way back to the N64 and PSX. I was still using my launch PS4 controller until the PS4 Pro and that controller until 1 year into the PS5.
I’m curious about the stick drift thing.

I’ve had two of 'em that see a lot of use for about 3 years and both are still fine.
I got a ps5 before you did, and I have 2 controllers, and both have had battery failures and stick drift.

I got two controllers with my PS5. Two months later they had both been replaced.
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’ve only lost one out of 4 controllers to stick drift. So 25% chance, sample size 1.
Isn’t the sample size 4?
I guess I meant myself as the sample, but 4 makes more sense.
