Really? That's usually the quickest issue my controllers have with occasionally sticky thumb buttons. I'd gone through so many I just get Blue PowerA controllers now. They're better than $200 ones for 1/8 the price, and have great warranties.

Stick drift and non optimal buttons are instant killers for any decent platformer.

Both my two 360 controllers and my xone controller are drift free and I’ve had them for a while. And my 360 controllers have been abused by my little brother for a while. They have issues (like the rubber off the sticks getting rubbed away slowly), but drift isn’t one of them. Heck, even my old Wii Nunchucks are drift free and they’ve been abused a lot.

I agree that they definitely also develop drift sooner or later, but I have yet to see a controller drift as fast as joycons do, with the exception of maybe the first batch of dualsenses that were atrocious for some reason
