    "I can't believe nobody's mentioned this"

    by Operator7 on September 28, 2009

    Pros: Good battery life. Good button layout.

    Cons: The springs in the sticks cause lack of precision.

    Summary: The problem with the Sony controllers is the springs in the sticks.

    I have TWO original Sony Playstation controllers, and what they do (my friends have the same issues with THEIR controllers as well) is make your character move when you don?t want.

    This prevents you from stopping where you want, shooting where you want, etc?????. because they stick is stuck to the right or left, because of the springs inside.

    I?ve tried using an oil lubricant, and everything else I can think of, to try to fix the issue.

    I think many people are just ?playing through? the problem, but if you realize it, it?s quite a big issue.

    I think the reason it?s not mentioned more, is because people just haven?t realized, why their character isn?t as precise as the way you are trying to move them.
