Why I Never Replaced a Joystick in a DualShock 3 Controller (www.youtube.com)

It looks like Sony had higher quality joysticks in PS3 controllers than they do in PS4 and PS5.

I have the same experience. PS3 controllers work perfectly and heavy use and all 3 of my dualsense controllers have bad stick drift . Going to take them apart and see if I can clean them soon . I've also had to take apart one of my dualsense controllers already because one of the buttons stopped working.

Funnily enough I've had the opposite experience.

All my PS3 controllers work badly. At least one gets a stick stuck in a corner sometimes. At least one misses some button presses or has a dead button. At least one randomly sends extra button presses. And an off brand one is just hard mode because it somehow doesn't respond the way some games expect.

Otoh I've never found fault in my PS4 controllers. Are there and good tests I should know about?

But neither of these is too surprising, since the PS3 controllers are very old and very used and the PS4 controllers have had a shorter and easier life.

I did have issues with my PS3 controllers make random button presses but there is an easy fix . I would just put a small piece of cardboard where the plastic circuit thing would make contact with the main board and it would make a better connection and fix the issue.
