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.

This has been my experience too. My PS3 controllers still work fine, aside from a shorter battery life due to age. I used them just a month ago to play through all of the metal gear solid games on PS3.

PS4 controllers, I got one that is showing slight drift, and one that is showing bad drift. But I did use these controllers quite a bit more than the PS3 controllers due to using them on PC, so these were by far my most used controllers.

I've had my PS5 controllers a lil over a year now and already have one showing bad drift, barely used compared to the others.

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.
