“I’ve owned all those controllers and never once experienced “drift”.”
perhaps though your sample group of one doesn’t accurately reflect its overall impact. I’ve experienced drift on every controller I’ve ever absolutely hammered (however not the ones mentioned, guess I don’t game as much as I used to, or controllers have got better at handling it). I don’t, however, have that much of an issue with it. It’s to be expected (I wouldn’t launch a lawsuit over it anyway).
It’s a fair point they mention to make joysticks easily replaceable (ie, with a cable plug rather that 10 or so solder points). I am all for reducing pointless waste like replacing an entire controller when all is needed is some new sticks or a new battery.
