I’ve got the feeling that drift is an issue that is becoming more prevalent more and more.
I have controllers from ps1 and ps2 that work flawlessly nowadays. But the more current the controller the more probable it has stick drift.
I’m not all for conspiracies. But I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a lightning bulbs type of pact to introduce programmed obsolescence on a product that otherwise would just last forever without need to buy replacements.

A friend just did the same thing. My two PS5 controllers I’ve had since the beginning are still fine, luckily. The price tag for the DualSense Edge controllers, which apparently have the hall effect sensors built-in, is absolutely ridiculous. I saw them on Amazon for just under €230. Almost half as much as I paid for the damn console. I don’t know what the guys at Sony smoked, but it was too much.
