Should I just stick with using Dualsense on my deck or get something like the 8bitdo ultimate/king kong controller?
It’s your preference, however in the event the Dualsense ages too old and needs replacement, assuming you have a PS5 you’ll need to replace it to continue playing on PS5
My main platform is PC, I have various consoles and I keep a unique controller for each because on PC I play enough to burn through controllers, If I use my one Dualsense that would risk my ability to play on my PS5 until I replace it and limit my next controller option to just the Dualsense.

Unless you need back buttons or drift resistance of 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth, I’d stick with Dualsense
I got my 8bitdo controller for the very same reasons, my Dualshock 4 (with back button attachment) started drifting and I just got tired with adjusting deadzones to combat this lol

Yep.

I agree completely. Mine was just over a year when it started, so it wasn’t covered by the warranty.
Did you end up fixing it yourself with hall sensor joysticks?
Can you get hall sensors for the dualsense?
Mine has drift on the right joystick, I’d love to replace it.
Looks like there isn’t one yet even though there is for Steam Deck and Switch. Gulikit did say they want to make some for the dualsense edge first before the dualsense on twitter.
I would keep with what you have. If you don’t have a compelling reason to get something new it’s not really worth it. That is how I try to look at it. Helps me save money and the planet
