I should not need to explain this one.

Oh, your Stick is drifting? No problem, send it in.
What? You don't want to wait? Sure, in that case here's a manual to easily fix it yourself.
Bluetooth controller drifting? Here, you can adjust the deadzone yourself and get realtime feedback to make it easier.
That or you can just buy a controller that doesn't cheap out on the joysticks for less than what any of the main console companies are charging.
So far, I get about 6-8 years out of whatever generation PlayStation controller I get. PS3 controller battery eventually crapped out. PS4 controller got pretty bad stick drift.
Tried an Xbox 360 controller once, it got stick drift after only a year.
My original 360 controllers are still working in pristine condition.
Amy recommendations? I've been considering getting a new controller, but I use one so rarely. For the longest time I've used I think an ancient PS3 controller, or my old Steam Controller (which is great for some things but sucks for others).
I personally use a 8bit-do controller because of its hall affect sticks
