This is the second controller that I got where the left stick started malfunctioning. There's, like, this weird flicker when I'm playing a game and, for example, I use the left stick to move, the character would constantly move and stop as if I'm flicking the stick when I'm just holding it.
What the fuck is even the cause for that. I very rarely drop/throw my stuff.

Damn Kitt, that sucks.

I have two controllers and they've worked perfectly since I got them.

I have to get a new one and this would be my third controller. I use the directional pad when I play stuff like fighting games, so they work well there. But shooters and stuff become unbearable to me because some time the stick just refuses to let me move around fluidly.

That is strange. Never experienced that. However, I have killed two DS4s by charging them with my phone charger.

What? How?

I've had the right stick on 2 controllers fail on me. They slow way down like I'm not pushing it all the way. 2 controllers over 3 years.

Apparently "fast chargers" aren't good for the battery and burn it out.


I have been doing this and my battery life does seem to be getting shorter.Guess I should stop.

TC, I've got a controller with the same issue. I think they're just cheaply made and with wear the stick doesn't properly center, so the result is you get a weird drift when it's supposed to be neutral.

Something to do with charging the battery slower would be better for it

It's like hooking a car battery up to a battery charger with enough amps to start up a dead battery. Doing that consistently over a long period of time is really bad for it
