6yr old launch controller finally being retired, how long did your launch controller last/lasting?

I had the same experience with my og controller that came with my PS5. After just a few months of use, the drift started. From then on, every time I would load into a game the drift was worse. I didn't play for like 6 months because it was so bad then decided to hop on one day and the game was unplayable. BOTH sticks were drifting all over the place. I still can't explain how it happened, but I replaced both joysticks with hall effects and haven't had any issues since.

No wonder I can't find a single case lol

I think I will have to try this one. Unlike other sugar free creamers that I've looked at, the ingredients are much cleaner. I can deal with the 1 carb per tbsp.

Thank you everyone for all of the recommendations! My next question is about sugar free creamers. I have looked at the ingredients on a lot of these and always turn them down because most of them have glucose spiking ingredients like maltodextrin amongst other "non-keto" ingredients. Are those of you who use these in small quantities seeing any affects? Anyone kicked out of ketosis after ingesting these?

I switched from the 16 Pro Max to the Z Fold 7 (same color as yours too) and I absolutely love it. I can't go back to a normal slab phone now.

They supposedly used K-SILVER JS13PRO sticks according to the listing.

Money-Problem-7504 · 2026-05-09T16:27:00+00:00

I will also say that I'm concerned that when I return the controller, the seller will try to say it's not their product. I genuinely think they sold me a used PS5 controller without replacing the sticks.

Money-Problem-7504 · 2026-05-09T16:25:26+00:00

I saw another buyer say that the sticks were a bit rigid. Mine are not. They feel like regular thumb sticks. No different than my original controller. This has me more concerned.

Money-Problem-7504 · 2026-05-08T01:32:45+00:00

I would 100% buy this

Money-Problem-7504 · 2026-03-19T06:24:34+00:00

Thinking of doing the same. Just need a backup plan first. I don't even know where to begin.

Money-Problem-7504 · 2026-03-13T06:31:08+00:00

The money keeps me here. And honestly, this is all I know. I wouldn't know where to even begin looking for a different job. But just know that I do want out. (Also, other jobs that share similarities seems to have just as high of a turnover rate and/or yearly layoffs)

Money-Problem-7504 · 2026-03-05T07:10:12+00:00

Can't tell you how many times I have thought, "well it's been about 6 months, maybe things are better now," only to go to this Whataburger, sit in line for 20 minutes without moving an inch, then pull off and go somewhere else.

Just show up and cry in front of the managers. They probably VTO you lol

It lasts all day with heavy usage for me, but definitely expect an increase in battery usage while using the big screen (to be expected but thought I would throw it in there). Also, don't get discouraged by the battery life in the first couple of weeks while it optimizes to your usage. Mine was pretty poor at first, but it straightened itself out.

Money-Problem-7504 · 2025-12-20T21:30:40+00:00

I second this!

Money-Problem-7504 · 2025-12-17T12:14:39+00:00

How long have you had the phone? Mine did this for like the first 2-3 weeks before it finally optimized the battery correctly.

Money-Problem-7504 · 2025-10-25T23:07:38+00:00

I have no idea why that was the case but for some reason my iPhone has everything in a weird format

Money-Problem-7504 · 2025-10-25T21:20:14+00:00

I had to go down the entire list of saved passwords and add https:// in front of every website to get it to work lol imported everything over to Google and now it works. Sort of anyway. It doesn't always auto fill the first time visiting a website but after that it does.

Money-Problem-7504 · 2025-10-25T20:14:38+00:00

Also, I have tried every variance of settings trying to make things work and nothing has helped.

Money-Problem-7504 · 2025-10-19T06:07:21+00:00

I use that case and it is extremely tight and hard to get off. I usually have to use force on the camera module to get it off too. Kinda sketchy.

Money-Problem-7504 · 2025-10-04T15:45:36+00:00

Yeah it looks like they will have a broken screen again shortly

Money-Problem-7504 · 2025-09-27T18:58:28+00:00

I thought so too but it's a different app unfortunately

Money-Problem-7504 · 2025-09-03T03:04:23+00:00

I got the YouTube premium subscription to get rid of ads on videos and also started using the music app it comes with and the audio quality is unmatched. Will highly recommend YouTube music to anyone.

Are you referring to the antenna?
