PS5 Controller question, post-update

My toon just started drifting left last night and continues to do so this morning. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this on PS5 OR PS4? Or has my PS5 controller come down with the dreaded analog drift?

Usually happens after 6 months on my ps4. Haven’t upgraded to ps5 yet, but there is already a lawsuit about the ps5 controller drift.

Yeah, I just tried one of my old PS4 controllers connected to the PS5 and no drift. Looks like it's the DualSense. D'oh!

Wow, that's wild. The part about the lifespan of those mechanisms only being 2,000,000 cycles. I've absolutely passed that since the PS5 launch. It's a real shame too, because I love this controller.

Yeah, and all the consoles used those joysticks I believe. You'd think they'd have all upgrade them by now.
