Comment on Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More
daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoI’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.

You gotta think to the degree of control the ps2 had is very much a drop in the bucket to the sensitivity of new controlers. I think they have complicated things to much so a ever so slight drift which used to not even register is now being picked up.
The biggest thing all consoles could do is make a dead zone calibration tool. It would allows people experiencing stick drift to reduce the detection of movement prolongibg the life of a controler

You’re still rubbing a conductor against a resistor - that will wear out due to physical contact no matter what.
Calibration would be a good.

Yea I just want to be able to fix the deadzone size in the Xbox controller settings…that’s not much to ask for.
