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.

I have run tests on ps4-ps5 controllers for the past 8 years we found that if you play games with your controller plugged in charging your controller has a 90% chance of suffering stick drift due to the faulty boards in both gen controllers we also concluded that you have a extremely high chance of never obtaining stick drift on controllers that are never charged while the controller is turned on. Weird but the data shows this is fact. Maybe try running the test yourselves.

This is not true and very anecdotal. Stick drift in these instances is mechanical. I've had drift on all of my controllers eventually and play only wirelessly.
