How old is your controller? I haven’t seen one last more than a year before drift became an issue. I’m on my 4th.

Around 2 years old so clearly out of warranty.
Edit: apparently the warranty from the shop I bought it from is 2 years so I could still replace it before November 2024
Other than your repair you posted your only option would be the dualsense edge with easy drop in stick replacements.
What I wanted to know is if anyone else managed to totally get rid of stick drift with opening the dual sense like this.
I’ve already opened my ps3 controller for some random button pressing back in the day, but I would only do it if you can really get rid of the problem that way.
I ordered the parts for one of mine and will be opening it soon. I’ll report back.
Someone did the math on the Edge and stick replacements and determined you’d need to buy like five regular DS controllers to break even on the cost of the edge plus replacement sticks.
lol, that’s insane.
