My 1st Party Sony brand PS2 controller has a mind of its own now. Most of the games I've booted up today either scroll through the menu without me touching a thing or none of the buttons work. It seems to behave differently depending on the game. I obviously need a new one, but before you all recommend the standard 1st party Sony brand controller, I should point out that I'm currently on my third one (I can't remember what happened to the first, but the second one's left analog stick became too loose in one direction, which obviously affected the gameplay). For whatever reason, either Sony makes very cheap controllers or I'm just having an unusual run of bad luck with that particular product. Whatever the case may be, I definitely need a new controller. I treat my system like a baby, and I haven't had any problems with it otherwise, so this definitely isn't due to lack of care on my part.
P.S. I had a Mad Catz controller too, and that junked out after a while. Same thing happened to me with my N64 Mad Catz, so that company obviously produces cheap, low-quality stuff.
Any recommendations? Thanks.
