Yikes. Sorry to hear that!
I think modern controllers are just made cheaper, because I own multiple OEM NES controllers and they all still work just fine... and they have been literally thrown and beaten to death (I had quite the temper in my youth). Dual Shock 2's, in my experience, have been the worst. Dang near impossible to find a used one these days that works well.
