Return it. I have had one for a couple Months with no issue. Also had a Ps5 since release with 2 controls and zero issue. Think you just had bad luck. This is the absolute first I ever heard of stick drift on a Power A.

I was curious so I looked at the reviews at Walmart and apparently a lot of people get it with these

I bought the cheap wired Power A controller (cheap in comparison to Xbox brand) and have had decent luck with it since Show 21. The real issue is why can’t SDS fix their game so OEM controllers can be used? I have an Elite v2 controller that I use for everything except The Show. I also can’t use the standard Xbox controllers either.
When I play with the Elite or standard controllers (with updated firmware), not only does the PCI lag for Zone hitting, I can’t use Pinpoint pitching at all. It’s been a known widespread issue since Show 21 yet we still have to buy a different brand controller solely to play their game on Xbox consoles. I was hoping the issue would be fixed with the new game but that’s not the case.
It’s a great game (although it’s starting to get boring with little replayability for offline content) but people shouldn’t have to purchase a separate controller just to play their game.
FYI - for anyone that may not know, the issue with Xbox controllers and Pinpoint pitching is that whenever the right stick circles up to the 12:00 position as part of the pitching motion, the game seems to register even a slight pause as an actual input. When it’s time to move to the 6:00 position (to throw the pitch) the timing is messed up because the game thinks that input already happened. This is a huge issue with any pitch that requires you to go past 12:00 and then come back (splitters & forkballs). Once you move past 12:00 the 1st time, the game has already registered that input unless you sacrifice the timing and move the stick faster as you move past 12:00.
Apologies if that description doesn’t make sense. Many people complained about it in The Show 21 and there was even a few clips on YouTube. It was submitted, tweeted, etc. to SDS but nothing has been fixed.

I bought one of the Power A controllers but hate using it. It feels like the $20 controller that it is.
