Being honest, same here. Joycons were my first experience with drift, ALTHOUGH i bought an Orange PS4 controller last year with such problems too. I had never heard of it except on the joycons, so it was funny. Almost thought it was some chinese knock off, but it has been a real problem i see.
I don't know if that's good luck or just better hardware. I still have them all and they all work like they're supposed to. Every single controller with an analogue stick.

Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony has all been sued by the same law firm and by the same issue (Drift) Sony was the last to be sued. Nothing changed.
Ambulance chasers, they'll get their $60 back for the controllers.PS5 drift law firm amends complaint ‘to demand a jury trial’ | VGC
Six plaintiffs “opt-out of arbitration to pursue their claims in court”…
The class-action lawsuit, which was brought against Sony Interactive Entertainment in February 2021, alleges that PS5 DualSense controllers “contain a defect that results in characters or gameplay moving on the screen without user command or manual operation of the joystick”.
Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith (CSK&D) filed its updated complaint with the United States District Court for the Northern District of California after six plaintiffs “exercised their right under Sony’s terms-and-conditions to opt-out of arbitration to pursue their claims in court versus arbitration”.
In the US, the terms of PS5’s software license agreement—which users must agree to in order to play games on the console—include an arbitration clause which, if enforced, means consumers may be unable to pursue claims in a traditional court or on a class-wide basis.
However, PS5 owners can opt-out of resolving disputes through arbitration by sending a letter to Sony within 30 days of first booting up their console.
To help them do so, CSK&D has prepared a template letter for class-action members to fill out, which it is offering to send to Sony on their behalf.
Its amended complaint confirms that six of the class-action’s members have exercised their right to opt-out of arbitration in a bid to ensure the case is settled in a courtroom.
CSK&D previously filed similar class-action drift lawsuits against Nintendo and Xbox, both of which were compelled to arbitration, a situation the firm is hoping to avoid a repeat of with the DualSense lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims that “Sony is—and at all relevant times has been—aware of the Drift Defect through online consumer complaints, complaints made by consumers directly to it, and through its own pre-release testing.”
It accuses Sony of violating state consumer fraud statutes, breach of warranty, and unjust enrichment. Plaintiffs are seeking “monetary and other appropriate relief for damages suffered, declaratory relief and public injunctive relief”.
All of them (Sony, MS and Nintendo) at the same time! With a larger group of gamers! And sending a clear signal this is widespread and needs to be fixed - in the courtroom
yeah you have no issues yet... you will , they are built to fail, so don't worry it's already there , it will come , i treat my shit like it my own dick , i take care of it and the one ps4 controller i use the most has a drift issue .
Punctuation.
you're point is?
PS4 controller hasn't failed (owned since release).
Fucked? You think they throw controllers with faulty sticks away? They replace what needs to be replaced and resell them. Its a fucking thumbstick, not a burnt cpu.
Chill bro.
I thought I was chill.
no point if the part keeps breaking amiright
i read somewhere that you can only do so many rotations and clicks with the analog sticks until its starts to drift ..unles the earlier controllers were build differently? my original ps4 controllers dosnt drift but yet i din't use it as much as my red controller , my red controller drifts so i don't use it anymore
drift is mostly caused by CoD/BF players who loses or take game too seriously, u can control ur char with analogstick easily w/o pushing that so hard that controller rift apart and come here to whine abt it
2 of my 3 DualShock 4s got drift, the last one I bought seemed like it held up really well
It's true that many drift issues are caused by dirt and can be fixed rather easily with opening the controller up and giving the inside of the sticks a thorough cleaning. Unfortunately, many other cases are simply the potentiometers or the track they run on being fucked and there's nothing you can do other than soldering a new stick or replacing the controller. There's something to be said about all these expensive controllers using the same 60 cents alps parts that are prone to failure after a few hundred hours. Even the premium elite controller from MS uses the exact same part, just why? There are much better solutions out there.
