Thread 718140039

haven't played a game since finishing death stranding 1½ months ago because of severe stick drift on my controller. i just refuse to accept that I'd essentially be rewarding the company that made the controller with another $50 purchase for having made an intentionally shitty product. fuck you. imagine paying someone for breaking your shit.

>i played death stranding
your addiction must have been incredibly severe that you hit such a low

They still got your $500 and PS5 attachment rates are abysmally low anyways, you lost.

Why not just use a mouse and keyboard?

Stop throwing it against the wall

then buy third party retard, there's no reason whatsoever to buy first party anymore.

Why not get a Hall effect controller?

Umm...cynicbros? Our narrative is falling apart...

I’m pretty sure your gaming addiction is cured by how boring ds is instead

wouldn't be able to use that on my PS5, not that I'd play anything on that console right now

Thats factually wrong.

>>718140039 (OP)
I'm fucking sick of everyone talking about stick drift and completely ignoring STICK SNAPBACK
My Dualsense's right analog stick is completely useless in certain games because it snaps back so fucking far from the right to left...yet doesn't have an inkling of stick drift.

Skill issue.

>>718142261
Or any game with a camera.

Fags on here criticize the n64 controller because of retarded shit speed runners do to break the controller or fuck up the stick, yet I still have my original one and it works great and no stick drift. it’s basically a 30 year old controller and it still works. Meanwhile a Xbox one controller has something wrong with it in half a year or a year. It’s amazing really they must design modern controllers to fail on purpose.

Stop buying shit controller then.

Well, sticks are usually a different story since Alps basically has a monopoly on that.
That said, Sony and MS solder them directly to the board and make getting into the controller an absolute hassle to do so much so that most just opt to buy a new controller.

>>718142783
Dude. If you don't know how to desolder and drop in a new pot, you don't deserve to replace your pots. It's literally an incredibly simple process.

I barely played my N64 with, at most, 20 games rented total and two or three owned games, none of them intensive on controls or Mario Party, and the stick was giving in. It's flawed design, period.

>>718143075
That sucks maybe you are retarded or something because I played and rented a lot of games over the years and I still have my original controller and the stick is still responsive?

Are you comparing the number of people who bought ONE game for the system? That's just a metric of how many scalpers you have on the market. Every real buyer has 1 game

I have a first generation DS4 that I use for everything still. I've had two others, later, "better" generations that are basically shit now. Their sticks have worn down from the casing being harder than the stick, making it hard to press them while moving. The d-pads are basically mush. Yet, the first generation DS4 has none of these issues. I regularly use it for TGM4 master mode, and can't do that with any newer controller I have reliably. We're going backwards. If Gamecube controllers had one more button I'd use them for every 3D game, and my trusty ancient DS4 for 2D until it dies.

>>718141874
>offers zero counter evidence
Keep buying yachts for gabe

>>718143805
my ds4's sticks are completely fine still after 10 years but the O button is very soft and not clicky anymore from playing too much roll slop.

>>718140039 (OP)
>just refuse to accept that I'd essentially be rewarding the company that made the controller with another $50 purchase
you can just buy a new controller on amazon and return the old one. It always work as long as Amazon itself is the seller.

I have never had any controller ever break or get stick drift, and I used to throw my controllers. Stop sticking it up your bussy when it vibrates.

>>718143216
Yeah, you're full of shit. My stick pending to the sides is responsive too, that's not the problem.

>>718143813
Keep... uh... right, snoy isn't making any money and about to drop out of consoles. Paying for tranny welfare as they slowly bleed to death I guess? Did you read that article about an ex-CEO was complaining there were less sports cars parked compared to the 90s? They should start a charity crowdfunder.

>>718143885
just because you haven't experienced doesn't mean it doesn't exist or only happens if you misuse the controller.
my switch joycons are still fine after 5 years of usage, even though that console is the one that received the most coverage about stick drift. my ds4 controller also still fine after 10 years. meanwhile my ps5 controller is barely even 3 years old and the stick drift is insane

>>718143865
That happened to me after about a year on a newer generation DS4. They're just made worse. The one I've had for 12 years might just be pure luck, because I've easily spent 10x more time on it but everything feels nearly new still.

>>718142874
Why are you even trying to defend that? Do you think everyone just has an iron, solder and flux lying around? They could have just as easily put in screw in sticks which are infinitely easier and less tedious than soldering. You did even touch on opening the controller since they both use those awful plastic tabs you have to prise off and possibly damage before you get into it.

Whether you like it or not they're designed to be as hostile to self repair as possible.

Oh I get it you don't want me to directly compare the rates to the previous consoles so you're making up new fake metrics where you look like you're winning. Very cool

What drifting? It was a major issue for every version of the ds4.

>>718144157
I was really clear about what issues if you actually read the post instead of looking for something to nitpick and deny

>>718144256
yea, unfortunately you need to open like 10 compartments and remove like 50 screws and even remove the circuit board from the controller to get to the sticks. they did this on purpose of course.

>>718144494
I was shocked at how overengineered the Switch 2 Pro Controller is. Might as well just buy chinkshit.

>>718144494
what?
its literally the same as PS4 controller, takes 10-15 minutes total to disassemble, clean and reassemble

>>718140039 (OP)
Drift on the Dualsense is an even bigger issue than on the DS4. You can buy a controller and you get drift within months, like 4 months.
The only options you got are:
>spend $250 on a controller with Hall Effect (Hexgaming Phantom)
>buy a Dualsense with Hall Effect pre-installed and calibrated for $150
>learn to weld and do it yourself
A welding station costs like $40 and the Hall Effect sticks only cost like $2.

>>718142874
You don't often need to solder new ones in, you can just pop the potentiometer track out and replace it with a new one, and pop it back into place. ~20 minute fix. Sucks that they soldered the rumble parts in though if they didn't you'd only need a phillips screwdriver to fix stick drift.

>>718144582
Dude, it's just like a handful of screws. It's one of the easiest controllers to open

>>718140039 (OP)
I own 5 dualsense controllers and 4 of them have stick drift. The 1 that doesn't only doesn't becausd I won't use it out of fear it will get stick drift.

I fucking hate this controller so much it's unreal.

>>718144971
Maybe by deranged modern standards.

>>718145014
Fix them!

>>718144256
You put alcohol there and you're gonna fuck it up for real because the reason drifts happens is not because of dirt or oil but because of carbon contacts that wear out real fast. These controllers are fucked up by design.

>>718144605
>its literally the same as PS4 controller
Is not. The Dualsense is very complicated to disassemble. Battery, rotors, led and stuff don't use ribbons anymore either, so you need a Welding Station to disconnect and put it back together again too.

>>718140074
fpbp

>>718145162
>The Dualsense is very complicated to disassemble
I personally think that it's easier to get into, DS4 has some weird positioning with the light bar. But the DS5 has solder points for the vibration motors that stop you from pulling the board out and getting to the potentiometers, but its not that complicated just need a soldering station
I think there's like two different versions of the DS5 as well now?
>pic rel recently fixed the stick drift on this controller

My ds4 started experiencing analog stutter after years of use and I just cracked that bitch open and replaced the dirty contact with one from another controller ezpz.
until I managed to mangle the ribbon cables in both of em and had to order replacements.

My dualsense works perfectly
8bitshitshow started drifting after a few months

>>718145162
MOST of the time the drift is caused by gunk and dust buildup, i have opened and cleaned tons of controllers and cleaned them for them to have significantly minimized or completely removed drift
>Is not. The Dualsense is very complicated to disassemble
its not, its more complex if you want to FULLY disassemble it, but you dont need to desolder rotors to get to the sticks
you can literally watch YT disassembly tutorials for both PS4 and 5 controllers

Everyone on this board should. If you don't, zoooooooooooooooooooooooooom. Imagine never installing a modchip or replacing a crystal in a radio scanner to pick up cell phone calls when they were unencrypted.

>>718143593
>/v/ is one person
Tendies, everyone.

You can fix most stick drift with an $18 can of DeoxIt, it cleans out any debris and lubricates the contacts. You probably don't even need to disassemble the controller, just pull out the sticks as far as they'll go, hold the sticks down in a direction and spray along the edge then rotate it around to allow it to seep into the sensors.

>>718140039 (OP)
Sounds very anti-Semitic.

I refuse to believe stick drift is anything but retards gorilla fisting their controllers because the average person is fucking retarded.

Ive owned ps1,PS2,GameCube,Xbox,PS4,ps5,switch consoles and none of them ever had stick drift issues with the controllers.

Meanwhile I remember going to other people's houses as a kid and trying to play their consoles with them or something and their controllers were always sticky, dirty, busted up and fucked up for some reason.

You are all just retarded ogres with no sense of sensitivity whatsoever.

What I did have was issues with the Xbox 360 controllers for windows, I swear I had 2 of them break on me for no reason.

It isn't from mishandling the joysticks, most of the time it's stray hairs if you have pets or a few specs of dead skin/dust

At least Nintendo is replacing them but I never had any of this happening to any other controller I had all my life. I hope the Switch 2 joy cons are better built.

>>718144148

how do people brake their controllers so bad? is this a zoomie thing? i still have my ds4 and xbox one controller from almost 10 years ago and still no problem

Why can't Microsoft just make an official controller with Hall Effect or TMR sticks?

>>718153067
Because they want to sell more controllers.
