>pay 200 bucks on a controller>stick driftWhats the point?
>>735061646the higher-end xbox controllers all have unbelievably shitty build quality in my experiencejust get the basic ones
>>735061646lol just get a controller with hall effect sti-OH WAIT THIS PIECE OF CHINK DOGSHIT IS DRIFTING AFTER A FEW MONTHS AS WELLwhich is a shame because I otherwise really like it. so much for meme effect sticks "making drift impossible"It's funny, because i've never had an issue with drift on normal anlalog sticks such as on the regular series s/x controller, and all my dualshock 4 controllers broke in some other way before they had a chance to develop drift. the steam controller seriously can't release soon enough.
>>735061646to scam you
>>735061783>the higher-end xbox controllers all have unbelievably shitty build quality in my experienceI recently opened my Razer V2 that I had for over 4 years now because one of the backbuttons got stuck and I was pretty damn impressive at just how cheap and fucked up it looked inside. Luckily I got it cheap back then but imagine paying full price for something like that.
>>735061646I bought the Dual Sense Edge because I'd rather just pay $20 for a new stick vs paying $70 for a new controller every time it got stick drift. Also, after I bought the Edge a year or two later these jews upped the price of regular Dual Sense controllers, lucky I bought one before the price increase. My only issue is the charging cable port. I will say it's mostly my fault because I would constantly drop my controller or accidentally yank it like a fucking retard but I would always play with it plugged in and locked and at some point the port got fucked and stopped charging. I straight up had to buy one of those dual charging things and charge it from the bottom port which would be fine if the battery life wasn't so shit on it. Honestly thinking about selling it as I prefer to just use my 2nd standard DualSense as I can keep it plugged it while I play.
>>735062034It's really baffling now that western gaming branded stuff is way shittier than Chinese floor-model stuff.
>>735061646The point is to get you to spend another 200
>>735061646I'm glad I could get a BestBuy replacement plan for the Elite 1n2. I have replaced it like four times and just bought another plan for the price of a regular controller. I wish anyone else could make anything with back paddles as good because they are shit otherwise.
>>735061646I want this controller and the GameStop near me is selling a refurbished one for like 60 bucks, but my concern is that I heard it has no rumble and I'm too autistic to play without rumble
>>735062406As fucked up as China is, they're innovating and working their shit properly in pushing their industry upwards, and meanwhile western stuff is trying to cut so many corners and outsource so many materials that we've become the nu-China for product quality. It sucks, but it's where we're stuck now.
>>735062892Century of American humiliation
>>735061646Money
I personally never had stick drift occur in my almost 30 years of owning my own controllers: Gamecube, 360 and Xbone. I only ever bought new controllers because I handed them to my brother who would stick drift them in about a couple of months after getting them. I'm intimately, to my innermost core, convinced stick drift is a skill issue and not build quality.I presently own a 20€ chinesium PDP Xbone controller and it's been absolutely excellent since like 3-4 years. Cheap plastic, USB-C plug, buttons that serve no purpose: just perfect.
>>735062316>>735061646Buy GuliKit TMR modules and install them in your controllers. I’m already on my second DualSense Edge, I wish I had done this sooner. Don't repeat my mistakes. Dont be fucking stupid like me
>>735061646the point is to fleece retarded goyim like you our of your shekels in return to a product inferior to the objectively undisputable king of all controllers of all time, the logitech f310
The cheap chinkshit controller I got off Aliexpress arrived todayThe sticks are super stiff and the dpad is super mushy and has no pivot but it seems to work
>>735061646Still have one of these $20 piles of sludge from way back in the days that I beat the ever-loving shit out of, and outside of an easily fixed bumper issue, it still works like a top. And no stick drift, either. Must have untold thousands of hours of play time.
>>735062316>if the battery life wasn't so shit on it. try turning the vibration effect down in console settings. you dont have to turn it off, just lowering it helps. it doubled or tripled my battery life. helldivers 2 had way too many intense vibrations going on all the time and that's what was draining it for me.
>>735061646Am I the only motherfucker in existence that has never gotten stick drift on any controller I've ever owned?The rubber meltsThe springs get grindyIt develops snapbackBut never in my life have I gotten any kind of stick drift and I've been gaming since the NES
>>735068994apperently with a lot of controllers drift isnt an issue if you actually update and install their drivers/software. But for some reason people never update their stuff
>>735067854Using laser weapons in that game turns your dualsense into a hitachi wand, it's actually absurd how overtuned the vibration is
>>735062905the rich who own us aren't humiliated, in fact they're richer than they've ever beenas usual it's the little guy getting fucked
>>735065797>>735068994Stick drift is absolutely an issue on the newer gen of controllers (Switch joyons, xbox series controller, dualsense). They all use the same shitty potentiometers that wear down over time. Older controllers had less precision so stick drift didn't really happen. If you haven't gotten stick drift on a modern controller, that just means you're lucky.
i literally just bought tmr replacement sticks for my joycons.i hope i won't break the controllers when i install them, wish me luck.last controller mod i did was installing legit OG super nintendo buttons in my 8bitdo. in other news: eagerly waiting for the steam controller 2
>>735069105I have 3 dualsenses of various ages that have zero driftI will admit I don't play my switch enough or even use the joycons to make a comment about those, but the pro controller seems fine.
>>735061783How are the basic-tier customizable controllers from the design lab?
>>735069020stick drift is a hardware issue, the potentiometer wears down and sends false signals to the controller board, no amount of software calibration is going to fix it, it's an industry wide epidemic of shitty parts, just like every gaming headset having the crosstalk issue due to unshielded cables
>>735061646>pay 200 bucks on a controllergood morning sir
>>735061646The point was to get you to spend $200 on $4 worth of chinesium.
>>735061860hall effect sticks by definition can't drift. if your "hall effect" stick is drifting then chargeback as it's not as advertised.
>>735061646There's no currently good controllerAll the new ones are designed to break after one year so you buy next year's releaseThe old good ones are a gamble, you might get something that's already drifting
>>735061646I cant think of anything more cringe than custom game controllers. You deserve to be ripped off.
>>735068994I have had it once on a PS4 controller. Didn't realize it was as bad as people made out to be until it happened. But the other PS4 controller was fine and split screen died off anyways.
>>735061646>that d-padStiff competition for worst controller ever made
>>735061646>always believe in buy cheap buy twice >pay absolute premium for electronics >fail just after warranty, have to buy twice I just buy chink shit and use it as disposable, consumer electronics are dead
>>735061646>pay $20 for a controller>its gods gift to mankindyou need a game sAAR
>>735069893pretty sure the sensor can break/malfunction, which I think is what's happening with my controller
>>735061860It can't drift but it doesn't mean it can't break.BTW even the cheaper Vader comes with 24 months warranty if you live in the EU for example. Not even the chinese can get away with shit build quality now. Only the console manufacturers can because they know the average user is lazy. They rather just buy a new one from them than find something better.
>>735070212oh christ i had one of these fucking things in black for the sega genesis, i knew it was shit then but i never really cared enough to figure if it was infamous or not
>>735070390>game saarWhy are you attributing something actually good to the pajeets? They couldn't make a decent controller if their entire country's revenue depended on it.
>>735071209Turns out indians didn't invent the word sir
>>735071209>He actually believes Gamesaar is indianLMAO it's Chinese like everything else
>>735070709It can physically move if it isn't secured properly
>>735071557No but saar is referencing the Indians. If Gamesir was an Indian founded/produced company it'd make sense but it's the equivalent of calling someone a racial slur belonging to an entirely different race.>>735071626That's my point, yes. Why does everyone insist on the saar meme when the Indians had nothing to do with it? Racism is way less funny when it's just flat out aimed at the wrong group.
>>735070709that's not drifting
recommend me a controller so that I may judge you on your suggestions.
>>735069105why don't they just use hall effect sensors? Is it so difficult to use those in the place of normal potentiometers?Fucking 8bitdo can do it, why not a multibillion company?
Why does every modern controller have drift but my dreamcast's controller, ps2's controller, xbox 360 afterglow I paid 20 euro for in 2013 don't ?
There is literally no reason to buy first party anymore.
>>735074573Dualshock 2 (that still just werks)
>>735074647The answer is currently bombing Iran.
>>735062905China is still more humiliated. They can’t even fight a war. Sissy beta bugmen.
>>735074578Cost and planned obsolescence. It costs them approximately a dollar less per controller depending on the specific wholesale pricing they manage to get per unit and if your controller dies after 1-2 years you have to buy a new one which is a potential new sale for them which is double the money to them, if you buy from them again. A lot of users will do this because 1-2 years isn't egregious enough to piss off most users and the average gamer especially using consoles will stick to branded official controllers more often than not.
Are there any products that are built well and don't cost a zillion dollars these days?
>>735072147Shut the fuck up.
>>735075909>1-2 years is becoming the accepted tim technology will work before breaking>all because people don't mind throwing away their money to buy the New Shining Thing>companies are praising people buying the New Shining Thing while also warning everyone about climatic change (totally unrelated things doesn't matter the e-waste is contributing)I hate this gay earth.
>>735068994The only time in my life I got drift was with an elite series 2. Worst hardware purchase in my life, a total scam.
>>735069558same as regular retail with a different custom color shell.
>>7350759648BitDo wired controllers are fairly good imho
>>735076087same. Fuck that controller.
>>735076163I like it, but they feel a little small
What's the go-to wired controller for playing games on PC these days? My wired xbox controller from like 20 years ago is finally dying so I need to pick up something new.
>>735076554grab your ps1 controller from 30 years ago and buy an adapterprobably gamesaar or 8bitdo for a cheap and solid experience
>>735076837thanks I ended up ordering an 8bitdo. I have been emulating a ton of jrpgs lately and my xbox controller has been ghosting a left directional input, which has been super annoying.
like 95% of stick drift is just caused by disgusting dead human flesh, sweat and bodily fluids building up, anyways, gets some isopropyl alcohol and clean it up.
>>735077030is caused by wear.Companies likes to wear down crucial components so that their products works a little more than the warranty period.Companies do that in washing machines, for example, by making a high current flow through power inductors, which degrades them substantially and actually break down after ~2 years.(This can be applied virtually to any electronic appliance)No one is stopping other companies by actually wearing down potentiometers in a likewise manner.
