PS5 Dualsense stick drift

My launch PS5 Dualsense controller has stick drift already. It coincided with a software update, but that is probably not the cause as resetting the controller did not fix it.

I used the warranty and received a new controller.

The "app" is the controller demo in Astro's Playroom.

Pull the stick upwards (you’ll hear a pop sound) then spin it clockwise for 30 seconds, then spin it anti-clockwise for another 30 seconds.

Next, click the stick 30 times, in the middle, top, right, left and bottom of the stick.

Then, move the stick to blow in the gaps of the analog stick, make sure to do it on each side. Make sure to rotate the stick in large motions for each blow (helps dislodge dust and moisture from blow).

Edit: improved tips + put into paragraphs.

Nintendo boutta send Sony a Cease and Desist for their version of stick drift

[JustAnOkayEngineer]

Dualsense: drifts
Players: use Astros playroom to show people
Sony: you were my brother astro! You were supposed to fight the lawsuits, not join them!

This is why I get warranty on my controllers! Also, the reason that there are so many issues with drift is because all the big companies use really cheap sticks that they can buy in bulk. If they just tried to put a bit more money into the sticks, then we probably wouldn’t have any drift.

This is not Dualsense, this is NONSENSE!

The amount of controllers on your tv stand is honestly commendable my guy

I bought a controller so I could play my games but my controller decides otherwise

[digitalexordium]

Ps5 owners: What the hell is happening
Switch owners: First time?

[RayRayZ]

After seeing ifixit rip this controller apart, you can see how cheap the parts are and wonder these controllers are already drifting. Too early in its life for it too start happening.

The controller demo for astro's playroom was worth it becuz you can look for controller errors.

I had the same problem on the ps4 controller, nice to see that Sony bring old problems on the new consoles ❤

[screamingeagles]

And this is why I wait 1 to 2 years after release or maybe even three because it gives some time to buffer out the mistakes

Reset the controller and don’t move the analog sticks when it turns on

[itskury]

[TemFromTheTemShop]

Oh, the PS5 and the...Nintendo Switch are best friends and taking the phrase “Sharing Is Caring” to a whole new level?

[CLIFFWILKES]
