I think it's absolutely appalling that Sony is raising prices on controllers while basically under supplying the dual sense edge joysticks and refusing to fix the stick drift issues. I have 3 controllers and each one of them has the same problem after a few months. It's maddening.

Stop buying consoles when PC gaming is empirically better?

I considered getting a dualsense before for pcgaming, but the stick issues pushed me away when other alternatives have hall effect sticks and grip buttons without paying the price of the dualsense edge.

Do yourself a favor and learn to fix the issue yourself. Take the controller apart and clean the contacts and remove any debris. Youtube is your friend here.

Then just keep an eye on craigslist for used controllers. A lot of people just sell them as broken, or try to get away with selling them as working. The repair only takes like 15 minutes, and it can pay for itself if you start selling the service to friends.
