I agree this is a defective controller. This breaks my heart too because I love the feel of this control over any other PS2 controller on the market. The problems are the potentiometers break on these, causing it to stick right or left. Unfortunately, I had the same problem -- the right analog stick thinking I was pushing it to the right. This happened on two controllers. I finally took it upon myself to open both of the controllers up and looked at the board. To my amazement, the construction of the board on these is extremely cheap.I'd pay $75 for this controller if it actually was solid, which it unfortunately isnt.
