I’m examining an old DualShock 3 controller, searching for the reason these held up so much better than the DualShock 4 or DualSense controllers. And I think...
It looks like Sony had higher quality joysticks in PS3 controllers than they do in PS4 and PS5.
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).
My DualShock 4 lived a very long time.
