Serious question, is there a reason to get a second controller? Couch multiplayer is not that common anymore, especially with Sony titles.
Well, you'll definitely want a second controller because the PS5 controller sticks are well known for very quickly developing problems like severe stick drift. So when your first controller inevitably goes bad, you'll want that spare, either as a replacement entirely, or as a backup while you spend weeks first arguing with Sony just to honor the agreement to fix their shit (if you're lucky enough to still be under warantee) and then shipping it to them and waiting far too long for them to return it, and then only to find they did nothing and have to go through the process all over again, to finally hopefully get back a fixed (for the time being) controller. So yes, a second controller is necessary, even if you only ever play solo.
Sony still doesn't even use Hall effect sticks? 8bitdo stay winning.
Blows my mind that Hall effect sticks are still not simply the default technology in all controllers these days. As far as I'm aware, there are zero downsides to them.
