Should I just stick with using Dualsense on my deck or get something like the 8bitdo ultimate/king kong controller?
Only a bit related: does anyone know where in the UK I can get the XBox layout buttons for the 8bitdo Ultimate?
They’re on the US website for like $3 but I don’t know where to get them in the UK.
Unless you need back buttons or drift resistance of 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth, I’d stick with Dualsense
I got my 8bitdo controller for the very same reasons, my Dualshock 4 (with back button attachment) started drifting and I just got tired with adjusting deadzones to combat this lol

Yep.

I agree completely. Mine was just over a year when it started, so it wasn’t covered by the warranty.

Did you end up fixing it yourself with hall sensor joysticks?
Can you get hall sensors for the dualsense?
Mine has drift on the right joystick, I’d love to replace it.
Looks like there isn’t one yet even though there is for Steam Deck and Switch. Gulikit did say they want to make some for the dualsense edge first before the dualsense on twitter.
It’s your preference, however in the event the Dualsense ages too old and needs replacement, assuming you have a PS5 you’ll need to replace it to continue playing on PS5
My main platform is PC, I have various consoles and I keep a unique controller for each because on PC I play enough to burn through controllers, If I use my one Dualsense that would risk my ability to play on my PS5 until I replace it and limit my next controller option to just the Dualsense.

The touchpad is pretty useful on PC. Don’t really have any idea why you need it for ps5 stuff, but for PC desktop its great.

It has analog triggers. On windows you can even adjust the haptic trigger feedback manually. Plugged in you can even get the inbuilt mic to work through your PC.

If the Hall effect sticks are what youre worried about, II personally haven’t had and stick drift after 2 years, even with kids chucking the things all over. But if It happens I’ll be out $70 I suppose. You might just wait and see if it happens, could save $70 that way.

I would keep with what you have. If you don’t have a compelling reason to get something new it’s not really worth it. That is how I try to look at it. Helps me save money and the planet
