I’m examining an old DualShock 3 controller, searching for the reason these held up so much better than the DualShock 4 or DualSense controllers. And I think...
It looks like Sony had higher quality joysticks in PS3 controllers than they do in PS4 and PS5.
Can definitely confirm the short lifespan of PS5 sticks.
Mine not only started drifting within a year, it also has “stuttering” inputs where tilting the stick forward sometimes produces short inputs in bursts for a second before it works normally.
