    One of our pads is dying and the right stick is dragging to the left, checked it out in windows and the stick is dying and not central.


    Only 3 months old surely they last longer than that?

    I bought my two sixaxis pads in March 2007 and both still work grand so yeah I would expect them to last much longer than that. Especially so as it seems impossible for me to not drop the pad during a session on the wood floor. I'm thinking of getting a dualshock 3 sometime this year though.

    Sure you didn't spill honey or something on it? That happened to my ps2 controller believe it or not and the analogue stick, well got sticky. :o

    You SURE nothing has happened to it? I have the original controller I got with my console, which I got on release night, and thats still working fine despite ALOT of abuse. Also have a dual shock I got in May/June 2008 in NYC and thats still working grand aswell. Thinking back I've never had a fault with a playstation controller, all the way back to the PS1.

    If you genuinely haven't done anything to it its prob just a dud, im sure not every controller to ever leave the factory has been perfect? Take it back to where you bought it and claim a new one under warrenty

    Odd after 3 months its dying usually happened to my ps2 pads after years of abuse.
