A video discussing Sony and their Dualsense Controllers for the PS5. Stick drift has been a large issue for years now, yet they've done nothing. Between faulty controllers, horrible customer service, bad warranties, and questionable practices, this alleged Sony scam seems likely. Enjoy!

It's ridiculous how most of the modern consoles have issues with stick drift, this problem was solved back in 1998 with the Dreamcast

Modern customer service is bad on purpose. They want you to get frustrated and quit so you stop bothering them.

The fact that they demand a serial number that is placed where it's very likely to be worn out is an insidious detail. Legal measures need to be brought into this.

This is why the “right to repair” is important and you should get behind the movement.

Sony sells you a temporary solution for the problem they created.

The most stupid thing is that the PS3 controller had hall-effect like sensors that didn't suffer from stick drift and the PS2 controller had built in calibration to combat stick drift. They're literally evolving backwards for the purpose of scamming people (Edit: This only applied to certain PS3 controllers)

Fun fact; it’s illegal in the United States to have warranty void if removed stickers, if the company still refuses to comply go contact the ftc.

controllers used to be actually made well and not cost a shit ton of money, now they purposely make them shitty (not just sony, nintendo and such as well) just to make you spend more money on a controller that's much more expensive than what they used to cost

Meanwhile, twenty+ years later and my Sega Dreamcast controller’s analog stick works like a champ. I miss Sega.

Sony are not alone.
Most electronics suppliers do not want to repair the stuff you bought.
They want you to buy a new one or upgrade to a better design.
Mobile phone manufacturers are just the same.

Meanwhile, my old, original PS2 controller, that is used to smash angrily into the ground as a kid: "Nope, all good here boss." And those damn things were far cheaper than these new controllers.

I'm glad someone is talking about this. When Nintendo had issues with stick drift (and was later fixed), every single gaming youtuber was making comments on it and people were supporting lawsuits against Nintendo and denied repairs happened

20$ for a single stick is ridiculously expensive, especially considered it's worth just a few cents in mass production. A prime example for you're paying for nothing but the brand. Scam².

... first time?
"Create a problem, sell the solution" is the oldest tactic that exists in our modern times.

The worst part of the stick drift issue is that early ps3 controllers had Hall effect sticks; so they knew the solution to this problem a long time ago but decided to go for an inferior option for the past 15 years.

I had drift issues and FW issues on my PS5 controller for PC and we couldnt proceed forward cause i didnt have a PS5 Console and got the answer
“Why buy a ps5 controller for pc”

Idiotic

sadly scamming and lying to your customers seems to completely legal nowadays as long as you are a company with more money than the country you operate in

Leave it to the local neckbeard hero running his retro console&manga store to fix it for $20 and give you a warranty for the new sticks. Remember to support these guys so they aren't replaced with soulless overpriced corpo services.

It's a deliberate scam. There's no other reason they'd make a premium controller with replaceable sticks like that. Hall effect sticks exist after all.

Considering this has been an issue since PS4 (possibly PS3), I highly doubt anything will ever change.
