The PS5 Dualsense controller feels and looks so good. Too bad it’s drifting for some folks.
According to Kotaku, one player started experiencing Dualsense drift in 10 days after purchasing their PS5. Extremely fast wear and tear, seriously. To top it off, it sounds like a hassle to get the controller up and running again through the PlayStation support page. For anyone experiencing problems, kinda sounds like the only solution is hitting up your local Best Buy for a brand-new controller.
I know a thing or two about Nintendo Joy-Con drift. I just figured the strange Joy-Con design was the reason behind the malfunction. Now, I’m starting to think all these next-gen controllers have technical issues. Anyway, it took about 3 weeks for the Joy-Con to get serviced and returned safely back to me. Which was super easy. Will the Dualsense ever have that option?
A recent IGN article details Sony’s new lawsuit over the wonk controller business. The suit even calls Sony’s conduct, “fraudulent, deceptive, unlawful, and unfair.” Seems like somebody is going to have to pay out the wazoo for this snafu. But seriously, are these lawsuits anything more than a big showing for the lawfirm? Does any good come from these lol?
Always something going on in the world of video games. Let me know what you think about all this drift drama in the comments. I’ll be drinking some G Fuel over here in the meantime.
