You never struggled
Probably because I wasn't a retard and didn't bash my controllers like a retarded toddler when things went bad in the game.
>>720881101When I grew up there was no such thing as “stick drift”. My dreamcast controller from 1999 still works fine. Stick drift is a Jewish scheme to get more money out of us.
>>720881283Learning the hall effect existed made me vow to never give money to the industry again.
capitalism: selling you shit that breaks on purpose
>>720881101God I love first world problems.
>>720881101Eckbock
Eck on ick thread?
poor people have game consoles?
>>720881264Drift is caused by potentiometers wearing out or getting dirty. The only solution is to use controllers with Hall effect or TMR sensors, which are pretty much immune to drift.>>720881283Sega used Hall effect sensors.
>>720881493PC is right there
>>720881698Consolefags will insist that you need a $3000 PC to match a $500 console.
>>720881101>ywn shibari your controllers
>>720881101'Ecksbox
>>720881101>poor>having an xbox
Never had drift on my old controllers, despite 20+ years of use, not on my dreamcast controller, nor my gamecube one or even dualshock 2.If I may be a bit conspirational now I think companies just keep making controllers that are worse on purpose so you replace them more often, kinda like modern light bulbs
>>720881698but this is a dumb example you stupid fat retardpc breaks all the time: driver incompatibility, messing with the settings of the game, windows update nukes your pc, hardware, it's endless tinkering despite how hard steam is trying to get a half assed console-like gaming experience on your shitbox
Never had to do shit to get my controllers working, they used to have quality standards.What I did have to do is twist the composite cables of my PS one to get the video and audio working since the cable eventually got kind of fucked.
Why doesn't Microsoft and Sony just allow you to fucking add deadzones to your controller?It wouldn't fix the really bad stick drift problems but it'd get rid of some of the really minor shit
>>720883535so you purchase more controllers.
>>720881101Thats clearly a fetish thing.
>>720883535You can do it on Steam
>>720881401Wait until you find out Sega was using hall effect from the Saturn, and for their fancier joysticks they used optical, which I don't think anyone uses these days.
>>720881101Was the drift bad on xbox controllers?
>>720883761The photo cells on that joystick are so cool. I'd never seen anything like that until I learned about it.
>>720881914
>>720883471>driver incompatibility, messing with the settings of the game, windows update nukes your pc, hardwareWorks on my machine. I allow my drivers to auto-update, my game settings to be auto-selected, I install every Windows update on my job-provided enterprise edition of Windows with most of the spyware disabled, and know how to work with lego. Feels good man.
>>720881101>buy some chink brand wireless controller for $20>still works but can just easily buy a new one if it starts drifting>1/3 the cost and is more reliable than the official controllersnot sure if the official controllers are made outside of China but made in US is basically China quality or worse but double or triple the price.
>>720881101you don't grow up poor and use modern consolesyou don't experience stick drift without using modern consolessimple as
>>720881283I'm getting fatigue
>>720883906>Works on my machinethis is why you are shitposting and not playing video games, right retard?
>>720883946The difference is simple, chinks are in a competitive market, OEMs aren't. The last time Sony TRIED was at the PS2's launch. They then spent 5+ years making the controllers worse in every way, and every lesson they learned from that was applied to the PS3 at launch. So the maximum quality a PS3 controller could have, was the worst quality a PS2 controller could have. This continued to the PS4, and PS5.This is not an isolated incident, it's how capitalism works. When you have customers, why give them something good, when you can save 1 cent on plastic and have a controller that dies in 6 months instead of 6 years? Nintendo didn't fix stick drift because it wasn't a big enough issue to cause people to stop buying their garbage, which means it must be fine according to the free market.
>>720881101this is nothing, my brother and I would manually compensate for drift on the shitty 2nd player controller our dog chewed on.
>>720881101>grew up with xbox oneyikes
>>720883761The Nintendo 64 also used an optical analog stick. The sensor itself is in fact very accurate and reliable, but it's set on a very fragile plastic base that gradually disintegrates as you use.
>>720881101X360 controller never drifted doe.>>7208839468bitdo ultimate 2c is 30 bucks, and it'll never drift.
>>720884783This is an optomechanical analog stick, which is a little different. Still, if they didn't eat themselves, they were miles better than potentiometers.
>>720884809>X360 controller never driftedyou're mentally ill
>>720881283Seconded. When I grew up the controllers worked. Even after a stupid little me threw them at walls in rage sometimes to the point where it had cracks and missing plastic. PS2 controller still kept trucking on and had no drift.
>>720884783>remember my n64 sticks being loose and wiggly as FUCK>they still didn't drift, I just had to push a little harder to get them to go>the L+R+Start trick to reset the center of the stick so you could just autorun whenever you wantedNever understand how technology somehow gets worse as it progresses.
>>720883471not really
>>720883471Are you sure you've used a computer before?
>>720883425My right or left (cant remember) d-pad on my Xbox One controller used to double or even tripple clixk. I never replaced it. I just lived with it for 4 years. It was very annoying with MGS5 since you really relied on it to do some things with your gear. I died many times due to it in heated situations.Never ever ever thought of buying a new one and never did.
>>720884891I still have the og, it still undrifting. There's soft drink spillage on the buttons tho.
>>720881101You will never be a real poor turdworlderA real poor3rdworlder use laptop keyboard and a mouse for everything even for emulation
>>720885253he said poor not third world poor
>>720883471>steam is trying to get a half assed console-like gaming experience on your shitboxThey gave up on that in 2014 and you can just not press the big picture mode button.
>>720881264Not everyone smites their controller like smash bros players do.For example, i only play single player games these days, and even then i dont intentionally seek out really hard games to prove some kind of meaningless point. In other words, i've never abused a controller in my life and i still got stickdrift one (1) time.
>>720883839the right pic needs to be a male though
>>720884994not only that unc but I also have a degree in CS so I likely know more about computers than you do fucking retardgaming on pc is only for retards that don't value their time with all the extra steps just to play the same console games, some of them even say on the steam page that controller is the preferred input method>inb4 I use it only for emulation of 25 year old roms and obscure trash indie gamesyou do you brah
>>720884203nah I think it just explains the absolute state of US products. I will still by other Asian(not the browns) products and even European made, but almost never made in US because it's just overpriced dogshit.>>720884809yea I have the xbox 360 controller too but its wired. still a solid controller though.
>>720885701nta but pic related is a CS major too
>>720881101>never learned how to clean analogs.You never struggled.
>>720886019>unscrewing 6 screws and unclipping the potentiometer housing is sufferingthis is why everyone hates you worthless millennials
>>720885309There's no such thing as 1stworldpoor
>>720886352>There's no such thing as 1stworldpoor
>>720886352If you've visited or lived in the US, you would disagree. I haven't been one but I've lived close to trailer park tier white trash and they're basically 3rd world levels with just less violence as the only difference.
>>720884909I'm STILL using one of my fucking PSX controllers with a USB adapter for 2D games.
>>720886352nobody ever talks about you subhuman thirdies jesus christ get it through your skulls.
>>720881283Same.I've gamed for 10s of thousands of hours and chucked many controllers, but never due to stick drift.With XBOX Elites it's usually the rubber grips falling off - sometimes I'll have a button register issue - but mostly I'm just upgrading to the new thing to have the new thing.I'm convinced the drifters are like, perpetually keeping thumbsticks held in some niggergrip fashion.
>>720885701I have a hard time believing a CS graduate would say such ridiculous nonsesne, seeing as how I'm a CS student as well.
>>720888301The elite 2 I bought had stick drift straight away so I returned it. Buttons not registering happens on Xbox controllers cause of their retarded bridge design under the face buttons that may not register if you don't press them centered.
>parents get me and brother a ps1>games were like 60 eur, so we'd only get about two a year>some relative mentions cracking>pay to fuck with the ps1>start buying pirated games, 5 euros a disk>cheap controllers, other than the original >would start to fray at the connection>have to play at a specific position/tilt for the controller to work >at some point, want to start pc gaming>only one pc at the house>learn about emulators>universe opens up>no internet, so have to bring floppy disks to school and download games>1 or 2 sega mega drive/gameboy games per disk>dad gets us a used PC with a shitty gpu>can barely play AoM, Warcraft 3, NfS2>get a bit addicted to cs 1.6>as games get more demanding, pc no longer sufficed>pc eventually dies>fast forward to now, am 35>finally built my own first PCYeah
>>720881839>potato user mantra: PC can run any game better than console>but what about YOUR PC?>*crickets*love this cheap PC fag cope
>>720881101I remember throwing away 1 or 2 PS2 controllers because of stick issues, goddamn I was fucking retarded. Could've been easily fixed by soldering new potentiometers in or even replacing the whole stick.
>>720881101I just lived with the drift
>>720882981But xbox is the peasant console, it has peasant pass as well.
>>720881101poor people buy dumb shit, they dont repair
>>720881101I tied a rubber and to my Nintendo 64 controller to walk up the infinite staircase in Mario 64
>>720889652Are you there yet?
What was wrong with hall effect sticks to begin with? Were they precise enough? Were they too expensive?And why do my buttons keep sticking on modern controllers? Not even cleaning the controller fixes the problem.
>>720889779>What was wrong with hall effect sticks to begin with?Nothing.>Were they too expensive?They're a couple more cents.They stopped being used because Sega stopped making hardware, and they were the only ones concerned with longevity after their experience in the arcades.
>>720881283the dreamcast controllers had hall effect sticks
>>720893135Its easier to design a trigger with hall effect btw. A lot less plastic and the chip can be cheaper than a wiper.
>>720889147Never ask a console user what games he plays
>>720881283>>720881264All my controllers from PS2 and PS3 era have destroyed left sticks simply for the fact that I played a lot of Pro Evolutoin Soccer.Old controllers were as shitty as new ones, you have no clue what you're talking about.
>>720881101>poor>$60 controller
>>720889147i love the eternal console cuck cope of accusing every PC user as owning a potato PCyou don't even fucking know what a potato PC means, you've just seen other PC users using it and adopted it to mean anything that isn't cutting edge specretards, the lot of you
>>720893135Didn't hall effect sticks have issues with centering and accuracy?
>>720881101Poor people did not have controllers
>>720881101why dont you shits just set a dead zone? I have had an xbox controller for 6 years now, never had any issuesstick drift is a meme
>>720883535>>720883740Dualsense and DS4 with DS4windows
>>720881101Why do this when you can take it apart and replace necessary part? No soldering required if you replace just the sensor.
>>720881101I never used gamepads because I'm not a fucking consoletard.
>>720885701>a degree in CSso no then
>>720887301You don't even need to live in a trailer park to be poor as shit. Chavs in council housing or dole bludgers on Centrelink exist and they're barely keeping their heads above water between the rampant alcoholism and shitty diets.
>>720881101Still got mine a v2 from 6.5 years back still works and I don't chuck or beat it...
>>720888301I've had 2 elite controllers and both drifted within 6 months of regular play.
>>720881101because I was hall effect chad
>>720881101>>720881283Zoomers keep losing kek
>i was poor that's why i threw my controller at the wall when i got mad and caused it to fuck up you don't know the struggle
>>720881101You're right, I'd just buy a new controller every time I raged and smashed my controller to bits, I don't think I ever even experienced stick drift except on this one small Mad Catz controller I loved which was very small and made it easy to BxR in Halo 2.I hate that no one makes small stuff anymore, modern controllers are fine, but I like the novelty of the small controllers and mice.
>>720881283Yeah. Fuck, it took over 20 years of use for the stick on my most used Gamecube controller to finally wear out and start failing me, its probably just due to playing a combined 2500 hours or so of Smash Bros on it.
Stick drift is a western issue because it's caused by fat fingers ruining joysticks with extra force.Notice how the companies that make games consoles are Japanese, who are notoriously underweight.I've never ever ever broken a controller by my own usage, unless I was knowingly ham fisting the buttons out of anger.
>>720881264I had two Xbox controllers have stick drift right out of the box. Microsoft makes really inferior products.
>>720894421Fake postReal PES playas used the D-Pad
>>720900714>ruining joysticks with extra forceAnon, all the sticks have the same circular gate. You can't tilt it further than some weak guy.
