How to FIX PS5 Controller Stick Drift & Moving on its own (Best Method)

Is your controller aiming moving on it's own? It's possible you are having analog stick drift on your PS5 controller. To do this, take apart your ps5 controller and remove your thumbsticks. Then clean out the sensors and remove any gunk or grease. I just used rubbing alcohol and a q tip to clean. Then place the sensor back in and reassemble your controller. This should also help your movement and when your not sprinting as well with the left stick or right stick. ...

Sony deserved a lawsuit on this BS of a controller. this issue occurs why too early and too frequent for the life of the controller

[prestonhelwig]

The fact that this video has 1.6M views is concerning. It shows how many people have to deal with these crappy controllers.

I just tried it on my son's PS5 controller and followed the directions carefully. The left joystick had bad drifting, but I cleaned the sensors on both joysticks. I gave it back to my son to try out and he says it's working perfectly. Great video, thank you for taking the time to show the steps!

I know nobody is gonna see this but I just spent the last 20 minutes cleaning out the wrong thumb stick and now I will have to clean out the other one 😂😂😂 (please kill me)

I can't thank you enough. My controller was just 7 months old when I started facing the issue. Sony service told me to buy a new one. But upon opening, there was just a small spec of dust. Cleaned it and now the controller works like new. Thanks a lot man!

After reading all the comments, I was really scared that I might accidentally break something but playing with stick drift had become nearly impossible, so I gave it a try and thank God it works absolutely fine now. Thank You so much.

This video is 100% deserving of that number 1 search result when trying to find out how to fix your controller!

Ive never had stick drift on any controller in all console generations but both my ps5 controllers got stick drift. This is definitely an intentional problem to force people to buy more controllers

[camrenesterday]

This method was genuinely a last resort to fix my goddamn controller. I had this sucker only 6 months before stick drift occurred. A year later, I can't stand it. This method 100% works, thank you for putting out the video. Sony should be ashamed for the "quality" they put into their controllers.

Edit: I got a 2nd controller three months ago. It also has stick drift now, I'm not too happy with their "quality control."

I felt like a professional opening my controller and fixing it, finally feel proud of something in my life thanks to you! Legend!

Great tutorial but please be aware to not push those two metal semicircles (see 6:45) down too much when cleaning the potentiometer with the q-tip and alcohol. If they are two close to the white plastic, they wont make contact with the graphite pad and will likely make your drift issue much worse (as it did for me). Also the two metal semicircles should ideally be right next to eachother with very little separation between the two. I used a pair of tweezers for this and once i assembled my controller, my stick drift was completely gone

Sony, Foxconn are a complete embarrassment; it should be reprehensible for them to produce a controller, which at face-value is advertised as gold-standard optimisation, but is rampant with mechanical faults. It was thanks to the luck of my algorithm that brought me to this video, which saved me £60. I refused to subject myself to that or take it to repair shops, with only CEX being the only available one in this overrated, wasteland that is London. After intricately following the steps of this tutorial, I was able to address the asinine stick drift fault. Through your help, the quality of my gaming experience has been restored. Thank you.

I hardly ever comment on videos, but it worked as promised so I decided to leave one. One tiny bit of hair seemed to have caused the much unwanted drift. Thanks!

[britneyhodge]

Just wanted to say thank you so much. Literally saved me a whole new controller. This is the first time, in my life, ive ever taken apart some tech and attempted to fix the issue. Your step by step instructions made this so easy for me, and completely fixed my stick drift. Thanks again!

[novanotfoundyt]

So I broke the green piece and now the thumbstick stop working

[JustinMan]

Thanks so much! This fixed the problem and my controller is as good as new now! You're awesome, brother.

[awnajustinburns]

Bro I’m not gonna lie, halfway through this tutorial (as I’m matching what you’re doing), I didn’t think it was gonna work. Stick drift is gone, I’m so blown away! Thanks a million.

[cxsmeticx]

I was honestly scared to try this out but it was my only choice since the remote would make me spin forever in every game. Thanks to this video it fixed it. Not even a slight drift👍

[Los_da_gamer]

It's important to note that once you pull out the little white pieces with the springs on them, you have to be very careful with the way you handle them. One rough touch against the spring before reinserting it back in the slot on the analog stick just might make your stick drift situation a whole lot worse. So yeah, basically, take your time when following this tutorial. There is no rush.

I officially became a DualShock 5 surgeon 👨‍⚕️😂 I was lowkey scared and sweating but this video did the trick!
