just bought a new controller.

just got myself a new dualshock, the blue one for a change.. damn right sticks keep going on all my controllers, if i remember rightly 2 sixaxis and 2 duals so far with right stick anologue issues.

It must somehow be a design issue, how can all 4 do the same
I doubt i'm that unlucky haha.

Could be unlucky!!
My Control has had abuse, from being crashed against the floor in a tempter, to Brute force on the stick out of temper.

Or when the pressure is on, i apply far too much pressure them sticks.
Only ever had 1 controller

(Dont know if i should of said that! last time i said about the PS3 being a good repair, it was still going, it died on me minutes later)

i like the PS pad design its so good its not changed for a decade but god they could make them more robust, they should coat them in rubber so i can chuck them at the wall :XD

The sticks do go on them. It just depends on how hard you push the sticks, and obviously how much you use them. I buy them in pairs, because I have one charging while one is in use - and it's good to have 2 for those rare occassions of same console multiplayer (or fucking irritating trophies relating to two players).

I find I go through a pair a year...ish. I'm on my 5th pair now.

I concur, my joypads dont get to die of old age.
