We had fresh controllers as well (ie just out of the box). The thing we were worried about is a situation where the analog stick just isn't 100%, and sometimes would actually rest on what would be .25. Also, we didn't want to run it full power anyway, thinking about it now, because it would jump at the slightest touch.

We can look at it again and re-evaluate the need, but it worked for us.
