Another controller, another fucked up left analog stick. And I keep paying for them...

Sony really do always win, baby!

This. I've had mine for 3 years and they still work fine. PS3 controllers on the other hand absolute shit.

Yup. The R2 had that dumb ass spring issue up until they released the revised DS4 years after launch.

I should point out that I don't have an issue with the controller as far as how it feels and just using it to play shit.

But I have to replace it almost yearly because, like clockwork, that's when it starts crapping out. Usually the left analog stick.

Yeah, I still have my same PS3 controllers from way back and they work fine. The piece of fuck PS4 controllers on the other hand can't seem to last longer than a year without the left stick wigging out.

I got bad luck with them too. I have 3 and none of them work perfect. 2 have drift and 1 has broken sensors. I take care of them too. The one came with drift. I just didn't use it a lot and it got worse and more noticable later one

This right here. What the fuck do you guys do to your controllers?? Both my original Dualshock 3 and 4 controllers are going strong since I had them launch, no issues at all.

Meanwhile I went through many 360 controllers back in the day when I used it in its respective console gen, even with great care.

I was gonna see if I could just open it and clean it from the inside, but upon looking up videos on how to do just that; it seems to be the equivalent of dismantling a fucking bomb. So forget that.

I got a second for multiplayer purposes. Both are still in 100% perfect functional condition. Cosmetic is another matter, but that's entirely my fault - or rather, my bird's fault.

luckily when i play, i'm about 4 feet from the console, so i don't mind keeping the controller plugged in.

the ds4 has some weight to it, unlike the ds3, which felt cheap and flimsy. it actually felt like you could twist it in half if you weren't careful.

First one I bought had issues. Second one I bought has lasted maybe 4 years now or longer. I bought one in 2017 but left it with my roommates so I'm not sure if it's still working.

I own 5 DS4s, only have a left analog issue with one that Ive had since launch. Actually another has stick drift on the right analog stick but my kids have used that one more and I cant really fault the controller for that.

My ds4 works perfectly in its stead

It's not wrong. My N64 controllers are ancient relics at this point and they can still be used with no problems at all.

I'm convinced at this point that it's a curse that Kaz Hirai himself put on me for all the years of making fun of him.

I'll be fair, I almost broke mine in half, but that's because I spiked mine out of anger once. The face dislodged, but I was able to snap it back together. I'm sure you don't treat your stuff that badly though.

That's the crazy part . I don't.
I don't throw them, drop them, spill stuff on them or nothing. But after about a good year or so -- Bam! The left analog stick now has a mind of its own.
