    Should have gotten the protection plan, almost a year Later and the left stick pulls to the left constantly making game play impossible. This has happened to both of our controllers

    Bought this bc the black controller I got from PS direct had stick drift right out the box, turns out this one did as well. Meaning the majority of black PS5 controllers, 2/2 in my experience, are just bad. Recommend a newer gen.

    Thank God for Best Buys protection plans.... have had to replace every single one. They have a tendency to "drift" (according to my kids). The touchpads can be wonky. For something that is so easily dropped and most often used by kids they should make them a little better. Especially for the price.

    Drift and Poor Battery

    Major drift in the left analog stick on pretty minimum use for gameplay. I also bought another regular White controller. That one completely died while charging. It died mid charge and won't turn back on. Both had a lifespan of less than 6 months on casual gameplay. And now playstation has increased the price on the controllers. It makes local multiplayer such an expensive hobby. How can Sony increase the price of a product with such minimal quality put into it.

    Have had several of these controllers and after a while ALL of them have a joystick that doesn’t respond poperly and battery life shortened. You’d think for the price you could get a decent controller for a ps 5. Sony should be ashamed.

    Sorry Playstation but I have owned every system and this launch has been horrible. Dont even have my system but I pulled this out of the box just to touch it and daydream before my actual PS5 arrives at BB and the controller has a sticky X button from the factory. Not good. Hope this isn't wide spread.

    I got the purple controller for Christmas in 2022. By the time Christmas of 2023 came, the controller was unusable. The stick drift was horrendous.
