how do people treat their controllers so badly? seriously? i have LAUNCH DAY PS4 controllers that still work perfectly. i haven't tested the battery life in a long time because i prefer playing wired, but i don't have stick drift, everything still works really well, etc. i had the rubber tear on one of them on the left stick but i just bought a replacement for a couple bucks and that was it.
my wavebird from ~2005 only just started drifting within the past year. i'm really sad about that one because i think the only way that's getting fixed is if i learn how to solder and put a new stickbox in there.
this also exemplifies just how bad joycons are, because i know i take REALLY good care of my controllers and that shit still turned into dust. my left joycon especially is FUBAR.
@pettanko i think my old gamecube controllers got lost after a bunch of moves after i was already an adult and moved out and not able to keep track of them anymore. i'm lucky i got that wavebird back at all lol. but yeah for the most part, the only controller issues i've ever had were just the rubber on sticks coming off or wearing down over time. the joycons are the exception because they're just shit.
