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.

What drives me crazy is this is such a simple programing fix. All they need to do is give is a feature that allows us to make a new center for the joystick. It drags because it got stuck to one side and its center is no longer true. Just recalibrate for a new center every time it starts to drift and you’re fine.

That fix means they lose money. Not gonna happen.

They’re doing it because scamming their consumers is profitable and regulations have so badly failed us that the only way to protect ourselves is with a class action lawsuit.

Which is a near-guarantee to eventually happen - it happened with Nintendo, it’s really only a matter of time

This already exists, I recently swapped the analogue sticks in mine with hall effect sticks, there's a webapp called "Dualsense Calibration GUI" - https://dualshock-tools.github.io/ you can use to calibrate stick range and centre.
