[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 months ago (1 child) I have serious stick drift on Dualsense controllers after using them on and off for just a year. 3 controllers, all with the same issue. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ConstableJelly@piefed.social 5 points 3 months ago* (1 child) I like the Dualsense a lot at its best, but I go through roughly a controller per year probably. One of them something with the rumble loosened. Not noticeable in some games, but when I was playing Returnal it sounded like a jackhammer. Another the sticks got...sticky in a way that was really distracting. Stick drift on another, and my current one the right arrow stopped working. I had to re-map it to the left stick click to play Infinite Wealth, and other games like Elden Ring just won't work with it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago Agreed though, when they work they're comfortable, responsive, intuitive. At their best they're the best controller I've used. But for $80+ these days they should have hall effect sticks and mechanical switches. I've started buying https://www.gulikit.com/ controllers, which have both and are much cheaper, but not as comfy or responsive. permalink fedilink source parent
