How to Fix Analog Drift Using DS4Windows (Dead Zone Method) [PC ONLY]

In this video I show you how to fix your analog drift on your controller using DS4Windows! This only works if you intend to be playing with your controller on PC; this will not translate to your console. In the video, I explain what a dead zone is and how it can help with your analog drift! Hopefully, this helps you out!

Another way to fix analog drift:

Insane that these 70 dollar controllers suffer this issue at all. I use mine a few times a week, and this has happened in under a year.

Thank you. The left stick in my DS4 was drifting down a bit, but this fixed it.

Tsm. After 4 days trying to fix this, i found your video.

[gigaganon]

even though my stick is in the deadzone after raising it up my game still act like the deadzone is at zero

[osku]

Thank you so much! Worked wonders on my case

[starrequiem]

I need help. My left and right stick are touching the sides of the boxes rather than being in the middle, idk why it's happening.

My problem is i broke my usb cable so I downloaded this and before everything i had no drift but after I downloaded it i have so much drift

[diegodiniz]

What about the ANTI Deadzone? Can you explain how it works ???

[yunusyurtturk]

There is an alternative called Driftaline. Deadzone feature is similar but it has also a signal processing feature, which fixes vibration on sticks (again, PC only)

Hey man first time here, thanks for the video . Do I need to open up ds4 windows Everytime I want to play warzone for these settings to work? Cheers

Hello and thanks! You speak so clearly and nice, tell me please what an accent you have? Where are you from?

Great and concise tutorial, for me it was actually the six axis touchpad/motion controls that were causing a wiggly mouse haha. Thanks, it was very helpful, hope you have a wonderful day Alex :D

Thanks for this, I was having drift issues with my controller and this just did the trick :)

[bappp]

in neutral my stick is fine but whenever i move the left stick up and to either the left or right a little bit itll start glitching and moving back to the center a little bit. i figure "max zone" deals with that but it doesnt. any fixes?

[K.E.A...]

Why after this my controller don‘t work completely anymore in the game?

[erickerfew]

I didn't have the issue of drifting but I still used the ds4 to play pc games using my ps4 controller but now the controller wont switch on or connect to the ps4 again.what do I do?

[vexensweat]

how would i do this on a n xbox controller

[williamtael]

DS4 Windows is giving me wrong readings.
Maybe it has something to do with the Nintendo Pro Controller mode on my controller (8Bitdo), since both analog sticks are drifting a little on DS4 Windows, but not on games.

[thelastbanana]

I try it but things work like someone dragging my RS button so i just left it

[PickyyVickyy]

the right stick is stagnant when i move it up the left one kind of stutters back how do i get it like the right one stagnant where it stays up and doesnt stutter/shakes back a little
