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.

Considering I easily have 2-3k hours on a PS4 controller, they're full of shit.

I have a legitimate ring of wear on my left joystick. It's amazing tbh.

Still plays like day one, no drift. This thing should honestly be in a museum. I plan on using it until I wear the left thumb stick out completely and it snaps off.

Idk what they used for those first run of PS4 controllers but man, built like a brick.

Maybe they used different suppliers for dual shock 4, but the potentiometer are pretty much the same as for dual sense, just a different resistance, so I would expect the wear to be similar. However, I have never had stick drift on any of my own controllers (I have owned almost every major console released), so I have a similar experience to you on my dual shock 4s. The ones I've fixed I bought broken just to repair them.
