Are these better than Xbox wireless controllers? Do this have stick drift? Thanks.
General consensus is these will get stick drift eventually but will depend on how used the controller is and a bit of luck. The haptic feedback for select games, even on PC, is pretty cool so that is one consideration for purchasing them as well. I typically find the XBOX controller is better supported on PC though Playstation controller support is getting better. If you go the Dualsense Edge route (for the eye watering price) you can replace the sticks should they get drift though there are repairs you can do to replace the sticks should they get drift on the base controller..
Good to know since 100% of my gaming is on pc and Steam.
Thanks!!!!
Any controller not halleffect (even theyre not technically immune to it) CAN have drift.. But I've never personally had drift issues with any PS controllers, but I also don't play 100hrs a week on my Playstations (PS2/3/4/5 throughout the years).
It's subjective whether it's 'better' than xbox wireless.
Reminder Xbox layouts tend to be more common in PC games, if that's what youre getting it for - so steam mapping etc sometimes required for PS controllers.
I personally prefer the design/shape of the PS5 controller - I think it's basically perfect shape at least for my hands (medium-large male hands)
I got some cheap GameSir halleffect controllers and I swear im still getting drift. So annoying! Do you think this is a bump up from the traditional xbox wireless controllers? Xbox wireless controllers have been around for more than a decade right?
Thanks for your reply.
Do you notice the drift at power on? or even in the middle of gaming session? Sticks sometimes need to be calibrated every power on by spinning the stick at the extremities one rotation. You shouldn't get drift after that on hall effect.
@skid: Lately, during gaming. Not 100% sure since game is bugy and lagy as heck.
I didnt know all that. Will definitely check out what you said. Didn't know it was a thing. Thanks.
Do you have a source for "hall effect are not technically immune"? My understanding is that they are because hall effect use magnetism non-contact moving parts, unlike conventional potentiometers. Pots rub a thin piece of metal every time the analogs are used. The metal gets thinner and thinner which throws out the reading of the pot. This is seen in the game as drift.
Dunno how many hours these controllers are getting, but I had to use the same controller for hours a day every day before I experienced drift. I don't game that long anymore.
So when I say not technically immune, it's because there are still other components that can wear over time + considerations of calibration/vibration etc issues from external factors can play a part here as well as actual construction of the units..
https://www.howtogeek.com/829622/what-is-a-hall-effect-joyst… is an example but it'd be a lie to say they'll NEVER drift so I'm being pedantic. And anecdotal evidence online suggests that some still have issues (checkup on reddit for this - it may not directly be related to the magnetic mechanism itself, though).
Both controllers can develop stick drift since they’re still based on potentiometers, but the PS5 has an overall better feature set (gyro, HD haptics, adaptive triggers, light bar), even if the battery life is a bit too short for longer gaming sessions.
Although I have never encountered stick drift on the controller, but I have had stick drift in the software itself.
Bought one, thanks. Will return the Big W one bought the other day for $84.
Which color is the latest
hot pink is very in
Lol, not my color, I am getting the pearl
The pearl looks very nice in person. Almost has a premium look compared to the original controller.
@Robot JP: Those special edition never goes on sale, cos scalpers. for a small market like Australia, we only get small amount of supply. You like it, you pay full either on preorder or launch day. Once they gone, you know where to find (marketplace/eBay/Gumtree etc.)
Bought the chrome indigo. Thanks heaps
Showing 95 to me. What am I missing?
Use eBay Plus code - JUNEOFY
Thanks
JUNEOFY
Showing I need to rejoin ebay plus for 49$ a year 😢
Click on 'plan' and change from $49/year to $4.99/month?
Most flexible plan
AU $4.99/month
and you can cancel after you get the controller delivered?
It would appear so, section 2.
2.2.2. you will continue to receive all eBay Plus benefits until the end of your membership term, but your membership will not be automatically renewed for a further term.
@hamza23: Thanks mate. Just gotta decide whether I jump on this deal or wait for Amazon to drop the price further. 1st world problems….
@dockersrule: In general Amazon won't pm the after coupon price in. So just grab it. Maybe they somehow did it once or twice when they start Australia business, i won't count on them.
cmon amazon, price match this >___<"
Don't think Amazon algorithm can price match price with coupon code.
They have had it at $67 just before July the last 2 years according to CCC.
Code now disappeared and not working at checkout?
The eBay code 'JUNEOFY' has been buggy all morning.
I can confirmed it's still working.
Yeah you're right, it's back on the product page but not applying at checkout atm. Will keep trying.
Success
Just got the Chroma Pearl for $66.50 early xmas gift sorted :)
If they still had stock of the Chrome Indigo i would have got that too. I dont even own a PS5. Will this work on a PS4.. i know its good for PC steam games.
Had to put in the code 2 times before it worked.
Will this work on a PS4.
No.
Shame there’s no Chroma Teal.. Great pricing though.
The Chromas are great. I would get them all. @$66
Says a lot about these sorts of businesses when you go to search for a 256gb Switch 2 card, RRP is 80, and they have it for 88 mysteriously while this promotion is on. Lame.
The Gamesmen eBay Store is usually more expensive than their actual site as they also factor delivery into the cost (so they can offer 'free delivery').
But there has been cases where they have jacked up the price to accommodate coupon code.
Just different platforms thing. As an ozbargainer, only buy from them when there is a deal, who cares 80,88 cos on a deal it's 50. Just an example.
Knew these prices would drop when I bought one last week
Thanks OP!
Signed up to EbayPlus for the month, as Hamza suggested above, and got the Cobalt blue. I agonised over the blue vs indigo but ended up going for the blue after watching this review - https://youtu.be/XoMWQ125Ptk?si=9tPm2POnXn1Qx2UM. The blue looks amazing. The indigo was out of stock anyway.
Great deal better than Big W
Could never but a console again, locked into Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo. Pass
But this works on PC :) its great for steam games and some indi games and emulators
If i put 1 it goes to 63.50, but if i put 2 it changes to $161.50. Is this coupon only valid for basically 1 controller?
The eBay Plus code 'JUNEOFY' can be used 5 times, so try placing separate orders.
Legend thanks!
How you get $63.50? Manage to get the same as the post listed.
Have to have ebay plus (either do a free trial or pay for a 4.99 monthly membership then cancel, it's worth it for the discount) and then in the checkout enter the code JUNEOFY
Can't get $63.50 as you have said my best is $66.50
Damn. Bought my only intended extra DualSense the other day from Amazon (big W price match). Jumped the gun by thinking it would never get this cheap again :'(
Look at all these Ebay posts and buys. If you believe in the misery down in the forums you would think eBay was doing poorly.
Yet once again the cheapest on the market and ATL are always eBay.
Looks like they just disabled the code just as I was checking out. Game over.
Listing gone.
Nevermind it's back again, got it!
The code was glitching on me earlier, it said 66.50 on eBay checkout but changed to 90 in PayPal.
Good thing I double checked, I had to back out and reopen PayPal link then it worked again correctly.
@imtheonewhoknocks: Same happened to me with PayPal issues then the listing went back to 95 and stopped accepting the code and then eventually completely disappeared.
@KzD: it worked few minutes ago.
was glitching.
just open the link again from here and dont fiddle with codes and it works.
pay attention to amount in checkout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great find. thanks
They are selling out quick :)
Just ordered successfully, thanks OP.
Hello, just wanted to share I actually managed to get this price-matched on Amazon.
I simply told an agent that eBay had the Chrome Pearl variant listed at $66.50 and wanted to price match, I was subsequently provided with $15.5 in account credit.
I was told it was a one-time exception but it wouldn’t hurt to try out your luck.
Nice
Thanks for the tip Chronos! I just did the same successfully.
After looking at the remaining colour options on eBay plus I thought I’d try my luck on Amazon. I put the white ps5 controller in my cart (their sales price is $82) and went through to their customer chat. I asked if they could price match the item in my cart to eBay plus’ price of $66.50 because I’d prefer to buy through Amazon. The lovely lady applied a $16 promo credit to my account which applied at checkout, stating they value me as a customer.
$66 white ps5 controller. Thanks Amazon!
thank you, got $49.52 as giftcard from Amazon Chat Agent.
Just got myself a Nova Pink one, thanks.
User name and profile pic checks out. :P
Thanks OP! Nabbed one
damn i saw this too late and now theres only the hot pink one left
Nooo i missed out
Wow thats excellent!!!! Bought Indigo ^_^
