Stick drift within 3 months. Should I get the Steam controller instead?
>3 monthslying sony fagmy series s controller from day one is still goodand many others
>>739423926What games are you playing? I think it's a great controller however if you are playing Rocket League at a high level then you are going stick drift any pad on the market but I typically use DS4 for that.
>>739423926used this for years now, best controller I've owned, only way it can be improved is with gyro for emulating some GBA and DS gamesmy PS4 controllers have all had stick drift eventually, plus their symmetrical layout sucks
>>739423926I don't know what the FUCK you people do with your controllers, I use xbox one controller I got for 50€ for 3 years with zero issues. Only get a steam controller if you think you'll utilize gyro and trackpads imo
>>739423926Why are steamies so mentally ill recently? More than usual.
>>739423926Mine's still going strong, actually surprised by it
>>739423926I asked a local electronic store to replace my xbox and Dual Sense sticks with tmr analogs.Best decision ever made, still dead fucking center after 2 years.
>>739423926Buy an ad valve shill.
>>739424127>steamiesYou mean PC users? What, you use GOG and the Epic Games store exclusively? You only buy physical in 2026? Or you're a console baby.
>>739423989>>739423992>>739424062>>739424076Dark Souls because I had to spam the analogue sticks press when aim-locking.but it still a shitty product none the less. who the fuck makes something this bad for 50 bucks? Microsoft. a chinese alibaba controller lasts longer.
I told you motherfuckersI got drift within 6 months myself, so a little better than yoursThe xbox controller is overpriced trash, not any more durable than any chinkshit, doesn't include an external rechargeable battery so you have to buy them, has no features, face buttons miss inputs, it's just horseshit all around and the micropenis cultists will keep buying more and more of these shits.
>>739424127I've noticed an uptick in valve marketers in here too.
>>739423926https://www.gulikit.com/productinfo/1251251.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/5owz7sF2HN8Literally just fix it yourself dummy, if you're too retarded to solder take it to an electronic repair business.
Start putting away your controller in a box or in a drawer and you won't get stick drift. Dust gets in there so easily and it messes with the sensor
>>739424547Yeah you just don't know how to take care of things sorry, default xbox one controller is one of the best mainstream brand gayming accessories you can buy. Finished elden ring 2 times with it no issues alongside ton of other games where you use analogue sticks
>>739424701this, happened to mine, had to use canned air to spray it out and it fixed it
>>739424905>default xbox one controller is one of the best mainstream brand gayming accessories you can buyThat wouldn't be true even if they didn't disintegrate in a year of use. It's literally the worst controller out there because it's built like shit and has no gyro, back buttons or trackpads. Even cheap chinkshit is better since it's at least cheap.
>>739424638>valve actually does something for a change>this makes people talk about them>this discussion is mostly positive because the thing the discussion is about is good>retards say they must all be shills
>>739423926Get pic related on Gadgethyper.It's called Xeno Plus and it is 50 bucks.
>>739423926I have the xbox one controller for my PC for years and it still works like a champ. maybe see a anti aggression therapist and stop throwing around your controller bruv
>>739424638One funny incident this week was a valve marketer posting a steam controller thread while he still had the steam ocean sale topic in his field.
>>739425213Again, it doesn't disintegrate in a year if you take basic care of it. Even your PC can fall apart in a year if you treat it like shit but should last a decade at least.
I’ve had one of my controllers for like 10 years and I’ve never gotten this “stick drift”. What are you retarded gorillaniggers doing to cause stick drift? Be more gentle with your shit.
>>739423926Buy LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE but xbox, it doesn't even have gyro
>>739424701>farming in ngs>notice some cracking while moving the stick>blow in it>dirt is out>moves buttery smooth againKeeping your place not a landfill does help a lot to not have to clean as much.
>>739425545One possible source of these differences that is never talked about is where you get your controller. It does make a difference where it is produced, if it was in a warehouse for years and on sale or you get it directly from xbox lab where they put parts together you pick.
>>739424905>use controller to play game>controller stops working>uh.. it's the users fault for using it!
>>739424127why are consolecucks so in denial about their minority status?you should emigrate if you don't like it
>still using 360 controller I bought years ago and keyboard+mouseWhat possible reason would anyone have for acquiring anything else
>>739425729>be you>lose to the Nameless King for the 50th time>throw your controller at the wall in a fit of autistic rage>it shatters>wtf why is Microsoft build quality so shitRetard
>there was a time you could get a Series X controller for $25-$30 on saleThat's how I got mine. It doesn't make sense for this controller to be so expensive, especially with no built in rechargable battery. I actually prefer battery swapping because it's instant, but still.
>>739425809Gyro aiming, pads, under buttons? Xbox controller is fucking antique and no meaningful difference from 360
>>739423926Pretty sure you can just mod it and replace the old potentiometer sticks with hall-effect sticks if you know what you're doing.
>>739423926Asym garbage shit
>>739425991Why tf would you repair such outdated garbage
My Series controller got drift before my Xbone controller.I don't think I use controllers enough to justify even a nice third-party TMR, so I'll just settle with the Boner for now.
>>739425958Yep it's all I need
>>739426021Because hall effect sticks cost like $5 and will extend the controller's lifespan significantly
>>739426021>heckin NOOOOO you HAVE to buy a new controller
>>739423926Do you rage out in games? I've seen guys damage their controllers by being angry and putting to much force or throwing them
>>739426069I guess, but ffs if you spend any money at all why not upgrade?I mean op, be honest, are you like EXTREMELY broke??If you are, fuck it, repair, but even an 8bitdo or gamesir has gyro and back buttons.And i can't understand spending money to extend the life on an essentially 10 years out of date controller, especially when the cost is like 50 to 70 for a GOOD controller with gyro input.
>>739425540Nope. They use faulty ALPS sticks like all first party controllers which will drift eventually. Not to mention the tons of other issues people have had.I don't understand why you'd ever get one. There's cheaper third party controllers that last longer or ones around the same price with more features.
>>739423926>Should I get the Steam controller instead?Yes. Wrote this with my 'eam 'ontroller, lol
>>739426404>gyro and back buttonsUseless gimmicks.
>>739424905>default xbox one controller is one of the best mainstream brand gayming accessories you can buy. Do normalfags really?
>>739423989do a controller test and post results
>>739426527Why exactly are they gimmicks? Do you think games are more fun when you don't have to play them and the computer aims for you?
>>739426527Gyro OBJECTILY shits all over xbox and rapes them til they prolapse. Crossplay games literally have problems with salty xbox players unable to compete without a RIDICULOUS amount of auto aim
>>739423926get a gamesir or whatever else top chinese brand with hall or tmr or capacitive sticks.
>>739423926Take the chinkpill and get yourself a Vader 4. It's life changing.
>>739426527Gyro is a gimmick but back buttons are great.I use them for quicksave, quickload, speed up and slow down on emulators.
>>739425958>Gyro aiming, pads, under buttonsFor what? Literally not a single game that is preferable with a controller requires anything beyond what my 360 controller can do
>>739426868Nah if he needs a Vader he should get the 5 v2 which has the backpaddles and tension ring mechanism fixed
>>739423926The most blatant falseflagging snoy.
>>739426995This statement says everything bro. You literally can't even conceptualize a layout that's not LITERALLY fucking spoon fed to your autistic ass. Fuck even just GYRO added to halo master and chief collection alters things to be a million times better.
>>739427195>haloI don't play console slop sorry, shooters are played with the mouse and keyboard
>>739427094Do xbots really still exist? In 2026? Seriously?
>>739427238You don't play console slop, except shit which works fine without issue on Xbox controller, aka console slop, and are autisticly fixated with sitting at a desk? Ok dumbass
I want a Steam Controller so badly but I'm from 3rd world...
>>739427381How are games like Outer Wilds or Cairn console slop? This barely even constitutes bait at this point
>>739427864So you call halo console slop but not outer wilds? Wtf even is your definition of console slop, halo is iconic, and was on pc too.
>>739427842It looks like shit thobeitever.
>>739428007Reviews of it have been good, it's basically exactly what steam deck people wanted out of a controller
>>739427990Not iconic among me, who isn't a paypig for microsoft
>>739423926steam controller should be fine. pretty much everything chinese blows console first party out of the water too.
>>739423926I have the Xbox Series X and PS5 controller. Both got stick drift within 2 years because they jewed out on not using TMR. Get the GameSAR controller instead.
>>739428052I don't like the trackpads and the cross shaped d-pad. Also reviewers eat feces and shill garbage on a daily basis so I don't give two shits and a fuck what they think.
>>739428075I hate Microsoft myself but ffs calling halo not iconic is just fucking wrong. Also you are saying this while also supporting an xbox controller, which gives them more money.>>739428130Steam controller is WELL worth the price and actually provides value over those autistic elite Xbox controllers.Though almost anything with a gyro is better. Dualsense would be ok if not for the shit tier battery
>>739424547If you don't play FPS vidya just get a cheap $25 8bitdo 2c ultimate wired or wireless. It also has customizable back buttons so clicking the sticks is not required if you map them.It's great for the price.Xbox series controllers are a hit and miss and even if you get the perfect specimen its bumper buttons will eventually fail because they have engineered a defect what makes sure that you'll buy a new controller within couple of years.
>>739426868vader is really excellent.wish they made a playstation shape pad like that.>>739428345personally I just dont care about the steam pad features and value something like trigger lock more, which is what many chink manufacturers offer now.they also tend to come with docks now which is based.xbox elite is beyond scam. actually ridiculous how ass they are and how much they charge for shit others put into their budget pads.
>>739424905Nah, souls games are controller destroyers because they want you to press the sticks in a lot, often while people are fucking panicking and hitting down with a bit of force.If people don't dust off their controllers a lot too, that's how dust gets trapped in the potentiometer.
>>739428075anybody who still buys dogshit xbox pads is a microsoft piggy.
>>739428451Exactly. Halo you can get on HEEEEAAAVY discount anyway, and actually has some value. Xbox controller is objectively the fucking worst first party controller, and even worse than like 70% of second party controllers. Its honestly fucking embarrassing, and their only cope is "but it still works" or "i like dpad shaped different". That's literally ALL the defense of it. I'd put money on next Xbox having gyro because not would be retarded
>>739423989Mine lasted a month before it started drifting 4 years ago and I got an 8BitDio right after and it's laated me with no issues until today, all big 3 controllers are shit, kys Microjeet
Imagine KNOWING STICK DRIFT IS A THING for years at this point and not buying a controller that is specifically resistant to itOP deserves his pain
>>739428789>all big 3 controllers are shitI agree, but if you forced me to pick, Microsoft would Still Be my last choice
>>739428678it wont have gyro because they are still extremely anal about pushing their faggy xinput that doesnt support it.
And here I thought snoys were weird about xbox pads before. Just more proof that steamies became the worst fanbase on this board and gaming.
>>739428935You can push a wasd keyboard via controller on steam input. You lose analog trigger movement I guess, but gyro is well worth it
>>739428869Havent you read the thread?Instead of just buying a cheaper and better pad that doesnt have that issue you should brush your controller, put it in a box and not use it like a retard.I dont know how MS managed to mind control retards to this degree.Reminds me of those animals who still recommend that garbage Logitech pad because they were always PC only and never knew whats good. Baby duck imprinted itself on dogshit.
>>739429036yeah but they wont put in gyro when its only a tertiary use with steam input.they still make their pads primarily for their shitboxes and they dont want it there either.I dont know how they can be this fucking stubborn when they are getting raped in every avenue at this point.
>>739424062You must have not owned very many controllers (one, by my estimation). I also own one of these and it's really impressively poor quality. You can get Chinesium crap of similiar quality or like 30 bucks or even less.
>>739429193They don't need to add gyro to use it. Steam input effectively outputs as mouse, if it detects mouse, gyro can work.But yes Microsoft is gay
>>739428678>I'd put money on next Xbox having gyro because not would be retardedI'd put money against that for the exact same reason since this is microslop we're talking about.
>>739428931Why the fuck? It's the only one that doesn't have gyro. Dualsense also has trackpads and switch 2 one has back buttons. There's not a single advantage the xbox one has.
>>739429523he did say it would be the last one he'd pick.
>>739429465You might be right, but I want to think they would learn.>>739429523Read it again. My LAST choice, ie my choice would be dualsense, switch2, and as least desirable Xbox. Its bottom of barrel
>>739423926>Stick drift within 3 monthsHad one do the same thing in the same timeframe -- exchanged it, and it's been okay for coming up to a year now. However, they're chink-made trash nowadays, whichever brand you get ripped off by.
>>739429660Microsoft has not learned even once in the history of existing, why would they start learning now all of a sudden?
>>739429728I mean they got spooked enough to at least TALK about optimizing windows because of steam os.
>>739429579>>739429660Yeah my bad. I'm a retard.
>>739429870All good. Still not as retarded as people unironicly playing with xbox controller these days as a new purchase.
>>739426538Is it wrong? As I said, mainstream brand. Of course you could buy some random noname shit that is better value.
>>739429794They want you to huff hopium, continue to use their product and then gaslight yourself into believing Windows 12 or whatever is actually good.
>>739430061Idk man, gyro counts for a MASSIVE amount. Battery and drift aside, dualsense is pretty good. Not even a Sony shill, but if they fixed drift, and made the battery last longer than a part time shift at McDonald's AND kept price under 100, it'd be a pretty good controller overall.
is it just me, or are the steam controller dpad diagonals fucked?feels really random if they register
>>739424127>recently They have been the worst posters here for over a decade. Doesn't help that jannies are VaIveshills so they defend them
>>739423926>Should I get the Steam controller instead?Yes saar please dop needful redeem good Steam™ controller saar!
>>739430930Microsoft is the one with brown indians. Valve is mass majority white.
>>739423926You must have got a lemon or you hurled it against the wall a few too many times. Return it to the store for a working model.
>>739431056lol
>>739423926The one I bought had double-input for the "A" button out of the box. Haven't had a single issue with the Steam Controller.
>>739431156Anyone can claim they work for Valve on Linked In
>>739423926gamesaar is your answer
>>739423926Obvious shill thread. This thing has been perfect since day one. Almost 5 years now
I've been using the same Series X controller for 4 years with no stick drift.
>>739432092>>739432174see >>739426579
theres literally ZERO reason why should you get a xbox controllerZERO.
>>739433121Sorry sister, I'm not trans. I'll get a Xbox one
>>739423926My setup is a wired 360 controller, a 8bitdo ultimate c to complement it, a 8bitdo M30 for retro and then I got the PCE one just because it looks great and have turbo buttons, but it isn't really necessary.
>>739423989not a sonyfag but that happened to me toogot it replaced and still goin strong after a year or so
