Genuinely just dont smash your buttons in, maybe im just so lucky but none of my 3 ps5 controllers got any drift at all from hundreds of hours still fine today.
Lucky. I’ve always taken great care of any electronics ever since I was a kid and I’ve still been plagued with drift. The dualsense edge has paid for itself tho since switching analogs is easy. Will probably never buy a standard controller again
Here in US I order them from PS Direct and they are $20 per module. New standard controller is like $70-$80. If my currency conversion is right it seems they’re charging about double for the modules where you’re at
The rubber on my joysticks for both my xbox and dual shock controllers worn down for years and I still don't have drift. But tbf, my switch joycons that I barely used got drift after a while so I think it really is about tolerances and whether dust gets in the mechanism.
Your bitch ass thumbs and puny muscles may not but some of us press hard on controllers without even knowing it especially the analog sticks, that’s what causes stick drift.
