$300 controllers coming soon, still with stick drift and rubber joystick tops that turn into slime over time.

If they fixed it, you wouldn't have to buy new ones

And if it’s anything like my Dualsense, needs to be charged all the time. I basically use it as a wired controller now and barely use my PS5

I skipped the PS4 gen and went from 3 to 5. Is it just my poor memory or did the PS3 controllers not last longer? I know the 5 has more going on in it, but the battery tech has to improve greatly as well in ~14 years

I think the Wii U pro controller had the best battery of all controllers. That thing would just like a month and there was barely any standby drain, it kept well ahold of it's charge. But the DualShock 3 was a close second.
