I’m sorry but I just know these people are going ham and pressing in on the joysticks to hard. I’ve had the same controllers for YEARS and have never experienced drift, maybe people need to be more gentle with controllers.

I doubt this. Many don’t understand how this works in the first place. Every controller (freshly made) has a slight drift and it’s supposed to be offset in the backend. More than likely this stick isn’t configured correctly so it’s not accounting for the natural drift.

We can travel to the stars. We can edit genomes. But we can't make a control stick that doesn't drift.
