I own 3 PS5 controllers and they're all broken in different ways.

The one that came with the system has a left stick that is now too sensitive, and your character will walk to the left on their own.

The first controller I bought now has the same problem with the right stick. Camera moves on its own.

The third controller, this one is only a few months old, has a R2 button that is too sensitive. On a pinball machine, for instance, the right flipper will constantly flip really fast. This was probably because I played Ratchet and Clank with the trigger resistance on (because the gameplay kinda involves it), and that shit will break your shoulder buttons. You can feel it happening as it jumps around.

I'm not a dumb player that abuses his controllers and pushes too hard. I've been gaming since the NES, and the only controller I've had problems with was of course the N64, because those were built to fail. But beyond that, never had controller problems. Through all the Playstations. They always worked for as long as I owned them. Hell, even my Switch joycons are fine, there is no stick drift with them.

The PS5 controllers may have a lot of bells and whistles, but they are the shoddiest controllers I've ever had, sans the N64 joystick. These things just break down.

Had mine a year and a half and it doesn't have any issues

I have two, and the only problem I've had is the trigger spring breaking in one; which causes the super-sensitive button issue you are experiencing. Really easy fix though, I was able to do it with a basic online guide/video and just bought some extra springs for it.

I've had both controllers since day 1 of the console release. Used 'em heavily. Had a lot more troubles with Switch joycons.

Well then dang I've been unlucky.

I have 5 PS5 controllers and only one broke. They all get the same level of use as I cycle through them in order for a full charge.

The one that broke would suddenly go to FULL LEFT for a second or two before returning to normal. I don't think it is the same as stick drift but something actually fucked with the controller.

Made Gran Turismo a bit interesting before I really nailed down what was happening.

My ps4 controllers ended up like this. So far all 3 my ps5 controllers are fairing better tho

Yes, this is what mine do. Not true stick drift, its like its just messed up inside.

Wierd that I'm having such bad luck with these. I play a lot of online fpses, so lots of clicking L3 in while pushing forward.

Get some bd100. Real good shit for joysticks.

Controllers should have life time warranties tbh. I've had issues with every current gen controller. My Elite 2 just fucked up the left joystick to where it's completely unusable AND my warranty expired 2 months ago lol I have to take it into a shop next week and probably pay $60 or some shit
