    The modern controller really does suck, I have had atleast 10 and every one died from drift, I might be particularly sensitive to it and I do play souls games hard core so they get their fair use but still under no circumstance under normal use should 10 separate controllers die from the same issue.

      I just buy superior 8bitdo, Guilikit and Gamesir third-party controllers that utilize drift-immune hall sensors and work across all platforms with huge internal batteries for sometimes half the price of the original controllers. Maybe Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony will upgrade their pieces of trash one day.

        Which consoles do you play them with? And would one work properly on a PS given the missing touch pad?

          PC, and I used a King Kong 2 on my Switch when I owned one. I no longer do. I also texted it on a Deck(same same), and an Android phone for the hell of it.

          I’m not sure about the PS5 controller situation, but I do know they work universally across all of the 7th gen devices.

          Sorry, sometimes I forget the current Gen is even a thing considering there aren’t really any memorable games or happenings going on beyond overpriced hardware and live service games.

            All good. I guess Sony is the odd one one out when it comes to controllers since they’ve had a touchpad on their controllers for 10+ years now, so I thought I’d ask. 3rd-party XBOX and Switch controllers are a little easier to come up with I imagine

      Seriously, learn how to replace the sticks and get TMR sticks. I hate how wasteful people are. That’s 10 controllers in the landfill for nothing.

        The only ones I have thrown out are the ones I tried to fix, needless to say I am not good at soldering. I plan to fix them one day but that day will probably never happen.

          I think my main complaint with fixing them is that they use solder with high silver content and it’s a real bitch to melt.
