“…use a second controller to help friends in games.”

I remeber playing Mario Kart in college and one of my buddies got his wireless controller from upstairs and put it on the same channel as mine. Everytime I went to take a corner or make a critical maneuver he would move the opposite direction and send me off a cliff or into a shell. He really did and excellent job of “helping” me.

Hopefully this will enable this sort of “helping” for people to make memories. (Clearly this has stuck with me for 20 years).

Think about a controller that remained ON and has stick drift.

You are playing solo but that unused controller keeps parasiting the inputs.

Good luck troubleshooting this.

And thanks to Sony for making sure stick drifts is still a thing. The solution exists and doesn’t seem very expensive…

Look at Mr Fancy Pants here with his two Wavebird controllers.
