I’m examining an old DualShock 3 controller, searching for the reason these held up so much better than the DualShock 4 or DualSense controllers. And I think...
It looks like Sony had higher quality joysticks in PS3 controllers than they do in PS4 and PS5.
They started using different technology that is more responsive/sensitive. The trade off is that they’re too delicate/prone to wear. But, yes, they do go with the cheapest options to cut costs.
