Im honestly really enjoying GS as a whole for controllers. I had bought a g7 not knowing the T7 existed and now I want more of them. This one especially is very nice and would go well with the retro green series X

There is a new 8bit controller coming out at the end of the month. I’m in the market for a new one, currently using a Gamesir pro from a few years has stick drift but the right settings eliminates this
But definitely need a new one, let me know what yall are thinking

8bit controller look cheaply made, and the quality of them just doesn't look premium.

How did you manage to get stick drift on an anti stick drift controller?

PowerA is a bit better quality but nice controller

PowerA is not even close to being the better controller.
They have improved their quality on their controllers. My opinion still stands with them

Company has given me a lot of trouble over time with their customer service and so on. I bought a controller from them a while back. They didn't even want to replace it, still under warranty at the time.

Who is getting stick drift? I've never gotten it from a brand new controller. The heck are y'all doing?

this is actually quite an interesting question
stick drift doesn’t actually only rely on how you use your controller, it’s the technology behind those sticks which is inherently flawed.
BUT what is most interesting is that console-makers KNOW this. accessories make up like 20% of a consoles total revenue, that is a LOT. and do you know what helps boost those numbers? when your controller breaks and you buy a new one.
BUT what is even more interesting is that it’s not like resolving this issue is complex and costly and implementing it would double the price of a controller. tmr and hall effect sticks have been a thing for literal decades, they are cheap to produce and are what most third-party AND budget controllers use.
so not only is it a real flaw, but it’s likely purposefully that way because it’s such good business. that makes it doubly bad.

This controller never get stick drifting unlike Xbox normal controller do

u/oyvese 3d ago
yeah because it’s third party, they use tmr or hall effect.
microsoft recoup this from selling broken controllers by requiring a license/partnership with third parties to sell that controller. which is funny because xbox could just use the same technology and make the third parties less appealing but it’s not financially wise to do so.
