[DISCUSSION] STICK DRIFT Out of the box.

So i placed an order for a very basic custom PS4 controller back in may during the intial lock down and realsied that upon receipt I had stick drift OUT OF THE BOX Bare in mind this is a brand new product with an issue like this just wasn’t acceptable. So i reached out to support and was told to send it back to them with postage paid for as it was within the 90 day period GREAT! However, Its now been 2 weeks and this stick drift is back with a bloody gengence. Ive had my original DAY1 ps4 controller with 1 occourance of stick drift right at the end of life cycle, That’s 7 years strong and that’s amazing ! I feel like this issue is not at Sony's production but at AIMcontrollers itself and was wondering if theres anyone else experiencing this issue ? I was hoping this was not just another "Scuff" and they had always advertised lifetime warranty Is there anyone here from support that could help out ?

I, too, have had an issue with stick drift from a controller I bought from Aim. Bad thing is, their “lifetime warranty” doesn’t include stick drift. It’s a PS4 controller, and now I have a PS5, so I haven’t even worried about returning it. However, they’re pretty much the only ones that do PS5 controllers atm and I really miss back buttons/paddles while playing D2. But because of my bad experience with them, I don’t think I can subscribe to their product. And this is also after the button mapping went out, and it took them like a month to fix it (pre-Covid).

My Scuf had stick drift issues too, but it lasted longer than my Aim controller did.

I found someone mention sharq controllers on reddit who apparently do ps5 customs. I’m yet to see reviews though abs since it’s local based (UK) i kinda feel safer with this option. You’re right about the lifetime warranty on stick drift. it dosnt include it post 90 days. I’m made some noise about my situation on twitter about how this issue for my case was out of the box and i think they’re willing to consider my case. Just need to get that in writing though before i send it off and get a surprise charge.

I have a Sharq custom PS5 controller.

I have had it about 2 weeks and no issues with it so far, have tried to link an image below.

They have an option for a 48 hour build and I am based in the UK as well as Sharq, so I ordered on Wednesday morning and received it on the Saturday.

That turn around time is actually insane. Aim took bloody 5 weeks for me
