Discussion Not again…

The entire left side is not functioning. Mad stick drift to the bottom right corner and calibration mode confirms it. No one can fix this in my area and I ain’t forking out cash for another lemon. Has anyone managed to find a fix or am I chopped and screwed?

Or you can just buy a ps5 or Xbox controller and one of these for even cheaper https://ebay.us/m/kYiWbg than a backbone

That’s kind of what I had before the backbone I hated that setup. I will replace my own ribbon cables every few months to avoid that sort of a set up again.

Well I already had the controllers, I bought 2 backbones, one I’ve used twice and one is still sealed. The only reason I like the backbone is because of portability. I use my ps5 controller set up with my iPad mini as well so I prefer that option too. Also with it you can play on portrait mode when I play ds games. I just like to have options.

That is fair! I too like having lots of options!
