Sony: We sell you the solution for a problem we created!
They’ve done what EA never could. They added micro-transactions to controllers
For 200 dollars ya should have given us two extra joysticks just in case
For $200 it should come with hal-sensor joysticks that never drift and an extra pair of joysticks in the box just in case
It’s 2023, with how advanced technology is, stick drift shouldn’t even exist. I’m convinced they did it on purpose to make more money & we need to start complaining more to stop those greedy practices
The price for one controller should come with 2 spare thumb sticks in the box
Only problem now is that all the stick modules are either out of stock, or being sold for outrageous prices on Amazon or by scalpers. You shouldn't need to pay nearly the price of a regular PS5 controllee to get a single stick replacement.
Now that there are hall effect analog modules for ps4 and ps5 controllers, this thing looks even sillier than it already did from the beginning.
Step 1: create a problem Step 2: make a profit out of it
I'm old enough to remember when controllers just worked.
After getting drift on two of my controllers in less than a year i modded all my PS5 Controllers with Hallway effect analogs. So far its running good with no issues at all.
Bruh selling you a replacable module isnt fixing the problem, it's just replacing the problem with another thing that will become a problem indefinitely. A FIX would be to include HALL SENSOR-BASED JOYSTICKS.
Great! I just gotta spend over 200 bucks on a controller to be allowed the privilege of being able to spend an additional 20 on a new stick to deal with an issue you'd like to think a $200 controller wouldn't encounter. Thanks Sony!
This is the most band-aid "solution" to a problem I've ever seen in my life.
A year later, people are complaining they can't find sticks for sale anywhere.
Ps3 controllers were programmed to autocorrect stick drift, so controllers lasted much much longer. Edit: meant to say ps3 instead of ps2.
I would've definitely bought this if it had hall effect sticks
I just started having stick drift after 9 months. I used the dualshock for more than 7 years and never had a problem
To all the duelsense edge owner if u have less stick drift on ur left joysticks simply swap the left with the right joystick just make sure to turn off ur contrller when doing so im sure most of u have thought of this but if u havent there you go
