I need to replace the old one that I have been using and abusing for the last 2 years (was bought used). It’s developed a lot of drift, which is really tough to deal with in several games. Should I just buy a regular ps4 controller or are there 3rd party versions which I should consider?

Why are dualshock’s so expensive?

I've never had a lot of luck with 3rd part controllers but some people swear by them. Id just buy a new one. Ive had my PS4 for 7 years and only had to buy 1 additional controller (one that came with the ps4 started getting that drift about 4 years in).

Sometimes you can find a controller on sale for like $40-50. I guess some colors don’t sell well or something but I’ve bought white, gold and bright blue controllers at low prices. Not third party either and I’ve never paid full price.
I don’t care the color, I’d rather save 20-30 bucks instead.

Where do you buy yours from? Gamestop? Bestbuy? Wal-Mart? Amazon?

I want to make sure that if I shell out the money that I’m getting something real that will last a while, but also not pay unnecessary amounts for. I’m cheap AF.

I had to buy a used one from GameStop a few months back the guy told me they weren’t selling ps4 controllers new anymore. Walmart didn’t have shite either.

I typically don't buy DualShock 4s from Amazon because they tend to commingle their inventory with third-party inventory and there are so many people selling knockoff controllers on Amazon (same issue with SD cards). Of course, Amazon has a great return policy, so you're not SOL, it's just a pain in the arse.
