Why I Never Replaced a Joystick in a DualShock 3 Controller - eviltoast

It looks like Sony had higher quality joysticks in PS3 controllers than they do in PS4 and PS5.

    My DualShock 4 lived a very long time.

    I think the mini charging connector broke before the stick drifted.

    Now I’ve had 2x refurbished DS5 from GameStop.

    One stick tore off from broken down rubber/material. The other stick drifted real bad, after both extended plans ended too.

    Current purple DS5 was new from Best Buy last July.

    It started drifting three weeks ago.

    I bought the extended plan and they said I can exchange it or use as a store credit towards a different controller (I see the edge joystick module is out of stock everywhere lol).
