- Unfortunately, some Playstation controllers have a problem with stick drift. Here's some tips to fix stick drift on PS4 Dualshock controllers before you buy a new PS4 controller! There are several ways to improve and fix this problem. First, is to attempt a hard reset on the controller. Then perform a thumbstick re-calibration. Lastly, if you have technical skill you can replace the censors in the thumbstick modules which can solve issues with drift, lag, and directional inaccuracy. Thanks for watching!

Imaging having a PS4 since launch day and didn't realize that was a reset button on the back. I actually never even noticed that hole before hahaha

Man I swear, I take extremely good care of my ps4 controller and it is drifting by itself, I don’t even eat close to the controller?!
Clean the analog sensor and it's place in it. That worked for me
@MRNAT3H dude try to blow on it, move the analog and blow it and see if it works for u

This happens with the new ps5 controller i aim down in rainbow six siege a combat game and it randomly aims up and gets me killed
Me also. I dont know why it happen. I rarely play because i have work but when i played fortnite yesterday it was drifting.

Boi Man yh weird
Yeah that’s crazy
Yeah
Ikr, I just brought it up to my fiancé through a call that my controller’s analog stick is not working properly most of the time
Everyone: DID THIS START HAPPENING TO YOU THIS WEEK TOO
Me: It’s been happening for about over a year just been to lazy to search
😆, you sound like me. Am only just now addressing the issue
Yeah I just accepted it and play games with the drift I causally blow into the side of the joystick now im tired of buying controllers. My friends even made a joke about it saying before we start the match blow into your controller.
me tooooooo wtf
Me toooo
Chickenbooty Licker same
Thanks for the tip. I bought two controllers last fall and used them for barely a month and the drift problem started for both controllers. The reset button worked fine for one and for the other was the 30-5↩-5↪-30. Both controllers are back at 100. Test ran them on Outer Worlds. Now im not fighting against my guy running towards the left while looking up by himself. Cheers again!
That game is amazing.
how long it takes for the problems to return?
It fixed mine beautifully, did both the reset and the calibration. Thank you man 😁

Capp right??
Fun fact:
You didn't actually search this up.
Nope
But I needed it 🤣
I did actually
Yes I did

Who else’s controller just moves & turns by itself every once in a while

lllzti sometimes when I play dead by daylight my character moves a little by it self it gets annoying

Re-calibration worked wonders! Thanks a lot John :)
Thank you! I’ve had my controller for about 2ish months and has started to drift even though I take really good care of it and this really saved me money! Thank you!
same, may have dropped it twice because fucking spine correction vest got the headset wire stuck inside it and i didn't notice, but even then it got dropped from the height of a average couch
Ok youtube is reading my mind my controller just recently started drifting and I haven't looked it up.
update it seems it stopped lol
Turn off ALL your device's microphone settings. It stops the creepy personalisation. I said to my sister something about 'Rosalina' from Mario, and it popped up on my recommendations. This was before I turned off the Mic. Also don’t forget to permanently turn off Siri or Cortana or Alexa, if you have any of those around your house or on your device. They are basically recording you all the time. 👍
Steviofo i literally ordered a new one yesterday and this pops up in my recommendations :(
I got this problem while playing warzone today, R3 moves character aim to left 360degrees , thought it was a game bug!!and god knows how this video jumped to my youtube recommendations...does we all under any kind of surveillance or something??
x_cyberlord_x it’s pretty scary... and I’m gonna hit you with a deep question... Where is the Internet?
What a coincidence literally having the drifting issues since today and this pops up
I’ve literally never looked up anything regarding ps4 and I get controller drift for the first time, an hour later it’s in my recommended
Thanks FBI agent
right??
lmao
Lol
Sulfurrr same bro
Facts
Finally after 7 years my controller finally is nearing the end. It been through so much but I am forever grateful for what I have been through with that controller! So many memories made🙂
Million thanks mate! I was worried that I had to take it back at Christmas time. It was a present for my partner and I was so disappointed that about thi issue. Now thanks to your help, the controller works fine. Havr a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
The real solution is to smash it against the wall again.
Modern problems require old people's solutions
Does it work tho?
Uhhh that's y I'm here
😂😂😂lmao
LMAO I DO THAT TOO MUCH xD
Everyone’s boss till he starts taking his controller apart
It's surprisingly easy, I had to fix the battery and charging port on mine and it's pretty easy to not fuck anything up
i literally made a whole new controller, new front and back shell, buttons, triggers, joystick, touch pad... everything i changed and it works fine. it is starting to drift so ima try this out
DoneTrappin it’s easy as hell
Not that hard, you just have to do it, you'll lose your fear of breaking something pretty quickly
Bobby Ron It’s easy, you are stupid if you can’t do it.
You are my savior my boy. You saved my restless mind in this lockdown period.

My problem is whenever im playing a game my right stick just triggers and looks to the left without me even moving it and my character just looks to the left when it happens
Same. It’s been happening to me ever since I started playing the Division
Happens to me when i play Fortnite lol
same
Same, usually I just blow into the side of the stick into the controller, and hope that maybe it changes something inside. Also you can change the deadzone on some games
Mine goes up
Thank you so much! The first tip works like a charm!
Thanks bro big help., keep sending more vids like this. Man why can't ps4 controllers be less complicated
SO EVERYONE JUST GOT THIS PROBLEM LIKE A WEEK AGO TOO🤔😂
I've had it for like 4 months.
@@ghxstiely I've had it like years ago. If you're a tryhard on shooters you will notice this problem with every controller.
Yes like wtf
Yah I legit got a new controller about a week ago
BRUH MINE JUST STARTED TOO
Me: my controller doesn't have this problem
Warzone: are you sure?
I swear
Omg yes
The controllers are ass and it's most noticeable with fps games. It's horrid.
@@L4Disillusion hahahaha
Does this only applies for warzone ?
Wow John! Thank you so much! It worked like a charm on the first attempt on my PS4 dualshock!
Thanks man. That calibration trick worked out for me.
Sony: Let’s make the reset so difficult and annoying that people just buy a new one
Developer: Say no more
how is the reset diificult?
Its all pretty easy actually. Have opened up my controller more then ones to replace bits in it. There are no attempts made what so ever to make it difficult for people to do so. Yes offcourse its all a tight fit, everything is small and close together but you don't want a bulky controller neither. Hope they keep doing that for the PS5.
I think they mean the calibration
@@JL-cn1qi Says the tech person. Yeah, I can't do none of that, lol, thus making it not easy
Simply
STONKS↗️
Let's be honest we all clicked off after he took the controller apart
Jeez thanks for the likes wasn’t expecting this much
Johnny_13 4 nope
Nah
Yeah
I didn’t click off but I stopped listening
Let’s be honest we all clicked off after we saw your comment
On both my PS4 controllers I tried the recalibration for the joystick and that fixed the drifting issue that I've had for months...thank you.
Thanks, did the factory reset and recalibration....everything working perfectly again.
So everyone’s controller started drifting in the last week
Yes
Jamie Rogers that’s fucking weird, my controller literally got this problem last week

Drifting..?
Video Demon it means that when ur in agame for example call of duty ur stick is moving even tho ur not pushing it

Thank you so much your 1st and 2nd tip saved my controller and it worked.
The recalibration method worked just fine for me. Thx a lot!
In a sea of "funny" comments, just want to point out that this worked for me. Thanks.
F V thanks wanted to know if was a waste of time. but then looking at the comments almost turned into a waste of time.
which method, if i may ask? the reset or recalibrations?
I done the reset first then I done the recalibration and it has worked for me so I would suggest just doing both
Bruh the reset worked for me thanks god
Keira Neil I just did both
I knew they were listening but I didn’t know my phone was reading my mind I have a slight drift and I’ve been trying to fix it thank you
It's your FBI agent lol
Paradox_Vo1d me as well 😳 the right stick always turns to the left
Lmfao right
DJ Lavish so annoying man
dcott yea 🥺
Thank you so much, had to buy a replacement controller this year already. Having to buy another one only a few months later would have been the worst.
After I saw the comments I thought this wouldn't work,buy I tried the reset one and my controller stopped drifting! I subscribed and liked the video and just saved myself some money,thanks man!
I honestly never saw that reset button XD

Had a lot of problems with the camera in GTA online, kept going left.
This helped a lot, thanks man.
Just about to take my controller apart but your tips fixed my joystick drift without having to disassemble it. Thank you!

CZcams recommendations: Got U Fam
You aint an og
LunoGaming Thundercut me too lmao
Mine too it’s brand new
Mine only does it when viewing maps on all my games, like death stranding, spider man, resident evil 2 & 3. But my aim and everything is fine, just when map viewing.

Cleaning and replacing sensors really work on 1 of 2 controllers, the second one is working way better than before, thanks
I thought i was the only one that had this problem 😕

Hahaha, bro almost all the gamers have this unfortunately
Yoo same lol
Completely the opposite for me! Every single controller I've ever had at least eventually started to drift.. as well as EVERY friend I've ever asked about it had the same issue. I LOVE PlayStation, but they make shiddy quality controllers☹️
@@rickles6678 I agree I hope with the ps5 it doesnt have that problem after a few years of gaming

I did both the reset & calibration, now it's working perfectly.
Thanks for your video.
did u have to reconnect the controller back to the ps4? With a cable or something after reseting it?
@@vectorm3832 I use wireless controller, it'll automatically reconnect after you press the PS button at the middle
@@cattvinleung3909 oh okay. Mine is wireless too. I only asked because my ps4 doesn’t recognize cables anymore so I was worried I wouldn’t be able to connect the controller back.
Lets appreciate that this man put the add for the end of the video, legend
I always had this problem while doing the mission "Did Somebody Say Yoga?" in GTA 5. The hardest mission ever in GTA 5.
K Luu
I had the exact same problem in that exact same mission. It was very frustrating
@@nleader7584 I was very angry. The left thumbstick didn't work. Luckily, there was a "Skip" option, so I passed the mission with the Bronze medal. I told my dad to buy the new controller but he didn't have enough money.
Realising u have to let go of l2 and r2 to go on to the next step🤣
What about the level where you torture that guy and pull out his teeth?
@@nasiraahmad418 oh. That was fine because the game told me to use the right thumbstick, luckily, not the left one. The left one was sick.
Your Playstation controller might have this problem...
Me: Tell me about it.
I hate the clickbait, I just looked at the comments haha
REDEEMERWOLF it’s not clickbait, The Video Explains The Problem 😹

Yay! Tip #2 totally fixed my drift problems! Thanks!!
Had one drifting right out the box, calibration worked thanks for the tip!
My joystick is drifting for like 2 years now, i just ignored it and left it like that
You can change your deadzone settings in some games so it doesn't make a difference
You learn to turn into the drift, as it were.

WTF! I've been dealing with this problem for so long and that R3/L3 recalibration was enough to fix it. THANK YOU!
Holy shit. I've been dealing with stick drift on my new controller for the last 2 months that I've owned it. I didn't know there was a reset button!! Thank you SO MUCH. Sumbitch was driving me crazy.
Thank you so frikin much! Right analogue was drifting left and it was driving me insane considering I've hardly used it 👍🏻
I have 2 controllers that have the same problem
For me the right analogue was drifting up
Controller sticks always have some extremely tiny variances of their "neutral" position. Manufacturing is never 100% perfect but is (or should be) 99.99% perfect, and of course wear and tear over time. By tiny variances, I mean something like 3% drift from true center (0%). Vast majority of games never start their dead zone at 0% so we never notice. Games like Borderlands 3 that let us adjust this down to 0% in the game's settings can let you know if your stick actually has drifting. My God of War edition controller drifts a very, very tiny bit :(
Thanks! Just got this controller new and it started it, fixed it completely
Awesome video man, incredibly helpful thank YOU Mr. Glasscock.
Too early to be talking about PS5 but when you finally buy it, please keep making this kind of video
the reason why everyone’s controller started drifting is bcs everyone at home playing games all day cs of quarantine
Literally 😂
Dixie Normus yup
you are so funny😐
Red it’s not even that it’s just that it’s facts
Zerros right
Sounds good info and will try this out my spare controller which was definitley showing signs of drift.

thxxxxx so much...every other ppl that made video about this just open te controller and many ppl said that they broke their contorller...thx man keep it up
Did it work for u ?
Did it work
Would this potentially fix an L3 click to sprint issue in certain games? My other controller is fine.
LeeH1989 this happens to me too
Blow hard into the top of the left stick.
When it starts to appear again, just blow into the left stick again.
Works for me!
Skabben tried it but didn’t work but thanks for you comment it🤩
@@sondre7975 I'll have to try it, cheers
LeeH1989 let me know if it worked! You gotta flip the left stick down and blow very hard a couple of second into the top of the stick.
Thank you man you rlly hrlped me out cus i get it like ever 5 minutes and now it helped ke keep up the good work
My left analog moving up and i was ready to open up, but when i see the video i make step 1 and 2 and now is working again without problem.Thanks!
you literally saved me $60!! thank you so much!!!!!
The clicking and constant rotation of the stick with drift actually works. Rotate and click that stick for 30 sec (2x)
D-pad you open the controller and just rotate the white silicone piece to a different position.
Worked like a charm good stuff my man
Thanks brooooo the re calibration tip worked for me
Thx so much for this!
For once CZcams recommendations actually recommended me something I like
thanks man this actually helped me, thought i had to invest in another controller
John,
I had little hope in this solution, but it worked well and I'm very thankful.

I had a different but arguably worse issue: my DS4 had terrible input lag and the right trigger activated randomly on its own but I fixed it following the steps of your tutorial, thank you!
I wanna know how the hell you keep that controller so clean!?!?
Do you piss on it or something
