Why? It sounds as if you believe you're protected or saved from any joystick drifts.This.
If it's the same as the dualshock 4 then personally I have no reason to be worried.

That doesn't look good at all. Especially for a controller with that price.

The hardware is the same, but the deadzone tuning is not.I hope you don't have any other modern controller than because they all use the exact same tech lol
The only mouse I've had fail in a short amount of time was a DeathAdder 2013, which Razer replaced with a DeathAdder Chroma despite it being slightly more than two years old.At least people are actually making noise about it.
*glares at every pc youtube channel and publication that has never called Logitech/other PC hardware manufacturers out, for producing mice with buttons that are almost guaranteed to fail within a year of purchase*
They probably see it as a flaw that, if it arises, is likely to do so after the warranty has expired and thus result in a sale of a new controller.I'm baffled at how all 3 companies know full well this can happen as early as a few weeks or later down the line but still manafacture controllers like this. Do they really see it as such a minor flaw that the cost of repair or replacements is worth it?
It's a real shitty way to treat consumers.

I doubt it is. As they mentioned all thumb sticks can have this issue.
Honestly a trackball might be ideal for the right stick for any game that has anything involving aiming or adjusting the viewport. I enjoy using the Steam Controller with trackball mode a lot.
Wow I didn't know 4mil DualSense controllers have failed already...I can't wrap my head around how they use the same joystick module as over 100 million Xbox/Switch Pro Controller/DS4, but we're only seeing it shit the bed in 4 million DualSense controllers.
I doubt it. The Joy-Con drift is a fuck up that is supposedly guaranteed to affect every single controller.I just hope this won't become a huge widespread issue like the Joy-Con drift.
Is there any modern controller which doesn't have this stupid problem?
The really expensive 'elite' xbox controller? I only want a controller for PC, I got one of these before reading that stick drift is still a problem (went through 3 DS4 in just one year)
Thanks, I'll make sure to read the article. I knew old controllers were more reliable, even based off just anecdotal evidence.Article also touches on how older joystick sensor tech from the Dreamcast and N64 were more reliable in continuing to work, which is eye-opening to me.
Sony have a tendency to go for cheap parts. Hope they will fix this in future hardware revisions.

playstation is known for rock solid hardware in the past. They can fix this in no time. This is sony we are talking about.
Yep, this is the real reason the DualSense's drift more noticeable than the DualShock 4 and XB controllers even though it uses the same parts. I first noticed the tiny deadzone in Cyberpunk and figured they'd configured it incorrectly, just like so many other things in the jank-ass console versions, but then I started noticing it in other games too.Also take note that the DualSense is also tuned for the smallest deadzone of all controllers. So earlier drift can appear on it than others. I definitely see Sony either implementing a larger deadzone in software and also later revisions b/c of this.

Anecdotedly, it is very common for me to experience drift with ps2 controllers these days.
People have been complaining about these joystick modules pretty much the entire time throughout last gen (even if they didn't realise they were), whenever it gets brought up you have a ton of people saying they've had issues with multiple controllers and then tons of others saying they've never had an issue and putting the blame on the consumer saying they must be abusing the controllers - the hardware is simply not good enough for the usage they get, but it's not going to change because it creates a market for new sales.

Literally all three brands use the same part. Even the Xbox elite controller. It's in the article.Sony have a tendency to go for cheap parts. Hope they will fix this in future hardware revisions.
If you think this is true then you haven't been paying attention. I had to get 4 dualshock 4 controllers over the course of my limited console lifetime and drift is a known and very common issue.
The most frustrating thing is people showing up in dualshock drift threads (as they are doing here) and saying how theirs works fine or underplaying the whole fucking thing. Whop de fucking do. I am still screwed. Y'all gotta stop defending these big corporations and their anti consumer shitck.
I really wanted one for PC, but not now. I will wait for a revision.
You cannot blame a large portion of people who never see these issues as somehow defending a company, when the very limited part suppliers are the culprit. I had around ~30 DS4s break over the life of the PS4 due to the L3 press wearing out, thankfully they were essentially all free replacements. At least Sony has done what they can to mitigate that issue according to earlier teardowns.If you think this is true then you haven't been paying attention.

I mean they were built differently but all my old N64 controllers have drifting sticks. It's all wear and tear.How many generations of analog sticks did we go through and not hear about this being a major issue?
Grateful for this video as it really dispels the myth that those that suffer such fate its down to just a numbers game where a small percentage of newly released products will have hardware failures.
These things are built to fail its just a matter of when and not if.
