PS5 controllers can last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years before stick drift appears. It depends on usage and care.
Honestly, it's a gamble. Some last for years without a single problem, while others might start drifting after just a few months. It's luck of the draw!
I've had my PS5 controller for about a year with no issues. However, some users report stick drift after a few months. Regular maintenance can help extend its life.
