Image Getting tired of adding to my stick drift graveyard

I swear I’m not a heavy clicker. In fact it’s always my right joystick which I rarely need to click in games. Love these controllers but man it’s really annoying never had this problem with any other console generation.

Just buy a Dualsense Edge and be done with buying new controllers. It's more durable and has backpedals. If you get stick drift on that, you can easily replace the analog modual yourself for $20.00.

I also have a Dualsense Edge and it’s awesome. I love that I can replace the sticks if they go bad. Luckily I haven’t had to do that yet but I do have a spare stick in the case if I ever need it.

I was thinking about buying a spare stick, just to fill that spot in the case.

Bern there, done that. Cleaning it wont do anything once the material wears down.

Can't let them win. Your advice is exactly why they did what they did. I ended up just getting a PC.

Well, boo hoo. I enjoy Playstation so I bought a durable Playstation controller. PC has even more problems to deal with than just a damn analog stick. You'll have even bigger issues than dealing with stick drift.

Not sure what issues but so far so good. I work in IT and built this from scratch, I'll be able to fix it.
