That's weird, because the PS5 has a pro controller where you can easily replace the sticks and Xbox hassssss....nothing equivalent. Any xbox controller will suffer the same stick-drift so long as they are using carbon pad analog sticks. The only true solution is hall-effect. I don't own either of those consoles, but I use a PS5 controller on my switch occasionally. Yeah...did ya know that? The PS5 controller works on the switch -- flawlessly.
On top of having gyro aim, a mouse trackpad, and programmable trigger feeling - it really is in a complete league of its own as a controller. Triggers can be programmed to give force feedback, to have snap, to be completely soft, or harder to press all via software.
In games, the left, right, and top of the trackpad can be used to quickly swipe between weapon loadouts, etc. There really is no equivalent. Sony, in this generation, out Nintendo'd Nintendo on controller innovation.
And get this...it's not the Dual Sense that just came along with this shit - this has been available since the Dual Shock. All Microsoft does is throw money at gobbling up existing game companies, rebadge PCs with software that lock them down, and use a decade-old controller that hasn't seen any innovation in ...well... ever.
So your argument that PS controllers suck? Complete bullshit. Doesn't hold water. They're great controllers, and you're showing that you care more about the PS/Xbox war than giving an honest take on things.
You mean the controller that costs $200 while the normal one is still $70 with no way to deal with drift?
Except controllers made with better quality components won't start drifting anywhere near as fast. Late-model PS4 controllers could barely outlast their warranty because they were made so much cheaper. What fucking good is gyro aim when you have to spend $60-$70 every six months?
And ya know what? I'm not even gonna bother with the rest of your shit spewing because you're such a damned clown.
Except that's the point of THAT controller - the sticks can be swapped without swapping the entire controller.
Then we've got the $180 Xbox Elite that you can't swap out the sticks easily but they allow you to put different color caps on the buttons? WOW...you sure owned me there!
