I rotate between two controllers. Controller "A" is fine. Controller "B" I've noticed is glitchy. The PCI will get "jittery" even when I'm not touching the control stick. My buttons seem to have laggy input.
Have you guys ever had a "bad" controller, or is this in my head?
It might be because of stick drift. It's best to get a brand new controller in that case.
Stick drift... aka Peyronie's disease.

Since you're my son, you should really have a good controller. I'll put one in your stocking this Christmas.

This is slightly off topic, but The Show has always been a controller killer for me. The x button tends to get mushy because I press too hard when I swing, and I’ve broke a few of the triggers too. I’m not sure why because I don’t hit those particularly hard in this game. Yesterday I pressed R2 to check pitch locations (it was offline in the Babe Ruth games so I wasn’t wasting anyone’s time) and I heard something snap inside. Now that trigger only works when I hold it down at certain angles.
Only one controller is completely broken, but I have three that are messed up in one way or another. One of them I had to open and and remove the rumble device from because it snapped off and was rattling around inside. I love the DualShock 4, but I feel like the build quality could have been better. I sincerely hope the DualSense holds up better over time.

I have 3 newer controllers that do that, but my old ps4 controller doesn’t have the jitters at all so I’m able to bat.

Every PS4 controller I’ve had had had to be replaced within a year, always some button issue...what you described had been most common, likely a drift in the analog button. I tried to fix one by following some yt videos but had no luck. Just replace them at this point.

I gently 4seam fastball my controller through the wall a couple day's ago. Now, this lovely little piece of innacuracy can rest in pieces between those wall's. Was a funny game ... My wife was lookin at me like : you're 34, grow up .... Then I sinkerball my wife in the wall ... Ok last part was not "exactly" true but she bought me a New one so now I can't even lose no more with any excuse .... Sucks !

Yes. I have a controller I can’t use with this game for the same reasons you mention.

One thing that could help your controller is to turn your ps4 off and push the reset button in on the controller for 10 seconds and then plug it into your ps4 and turn it back on. Also in the system settings, go to controllers and see how they’re communicating with the ps4. It’ll either be Bluetooth or with the cord, choose the cord over Bluetooth for pairing it.
