      Blows my mind that Hall effect sticks are still not simply the default technology in all controllers these days. As far as I’m aware, there are zero downsides to them.

      Don’t know tbh, I still only have an old original PS4 I bought used. But a while back for a brief moment I looked into what it would cost to get a PS5, I read about the major problems people had with it and stick drift is a really big issue with the dualsense controller. What I’ve read since is that it has only gotten worse, and there are countless nightmare stories from people trying to return or replace them. Apparently there is a “pro” version of the controller that has been out since 2022 or something and it’s main selling feature is that you can swap out the sticks. The sticks still have the same drift problems, mind you, they’re just modular and swappable, so instead of having to buy an all new controller every year or so, you only have to pay for a new pair of sticks. But that controller alone like like $140 or something.

      Sadly 8BitDo also has issues (bought an ultimate and the sticks slowly start reading less and less until I turn the controller off and on)
