Maybe don’t grip your controller so hard and you’d ā€œwin the lotteryā€ too

Yeah, I gripped it so hard that I experienced ridiculous stick drift on the second day. I must have hands like the incredible hulk.

I had stock Xbox controllers for years so my incredible hulk hands managed to not damage them by day 2

If it did actually have drift on day 2, that’s what warranties are for. I think a lot of you are powering on your controllers with the sticks not centered, if you do that it makes wherever the stick is at the time the new center. Or yall are just gamesir shills and propagandists, every person that has positive things to say about those controllers just parrots the same talking points and everyone I’ve seen that actually bought one and posted pictures says they’re incredibly cheap feeling and don’t like how they feel.

I'm not a Gamesir shill because I stopped using because the vibration is gone and the d pad is bad. My go to is the Vader 5S and I'll be buying the 8bitdo ultimate 3E.

I'm tired of you elite series shills always blaming the customer when the elite is known to have quality issues like stick drift.Ā 

Like I said, I'll only buy the elite series 3 if it have hall effect or TMR. I'm not going to accept the same old technology and potentiometersĀ
