    These always develop stick drift. Already gone through 4 of them. Sony needs to understand that RPG games shooter games require that you need to push down L3 and R3 substantially so those buttons are gonna take a lot of abuse. Hence the stick drift do something about it.

    For a new controller, it was a disappointment as the buttons were sticking in when pressed and making noises.

    This controller barely lasted less than 6 months. It’s the same issue with all PS5 controllers, joystick drift. The blue PS5 controller I got to replace it lasted 2 months. The original controller lasted around 3 years. Every PS5 controller since has been absolute trash.

    These controllers seem to break and malfunction rather quickly. Second time replacing in less than a year.

    My only complaint is that it does not come with a usb to plug it into the playstation for the initial update. You should have one that comes with the PlayStation but would be nice to have one seeing that these controllers cost a little more now.

    I bought a remote July 12th 2021 and now Oct 17th 2021 I am dealing with a drift that is unfixable. I contacted Sony support was no help at all. Went on YouTube and tried different methods which worked for 2-3 days and the drift came back, tried the same methods which no longer worked. This remote was never dropped, not an aggressive user- makes no sense, this is annoying, got no choice but to buy another remote and hope for a better experience.

    Haven't used it much yet, but seems decent. Pricey for a remote, but similar price for something everywhere.
