I would suggest taking off the black part of the controller with a prying tool like that, and hold the joystick in the opposite direction, where you blow decently hard into the space in the joycon. None of the things you said to do worked for me, all they did was minimize the effect untill I pressed down on my joycon and it came back again. I knew it wasn’t a software glitch because I restarted my controller twice by sticking a flathead screwdriver or a toothpick down the little circular hole on the back of the controller and pressed a button down there for 5 seconds. So yea it’s fixed now so I’m happy.
so offense but with them huge hands you make the ps5 controller look tiny
I got six, and all of them got stick drift ☠️
I got 3 with stick drift
It worked thank you.
This feels like morning exercise, but for your controller

@gohygohy what?
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is all Sony does when you send a controller in
Right lol
That certainly did not fully fix my analogs drift but it made the games 10× more playable, Thanks bro you're a lifesaver
Take apart your remote and clean the rotator thing in the analog stick with alcohol
Does it always work?
I was skeptical but a job well done. My drift is gone for the time being. Appreciate it.
This is crazy, my son play so much fortnight that one of controller's had this problem. I did the first step and no more drift! Thanks a lot
Dude amazing! Thank you! I had really bad stick drift and the first method fixed it instantly.
I was honestly giving up hope thinking I'd have to take it into a shop to get fixed, I'm not sure which of the 3 worked but I'm amazed it did! Thanks man, Chad video right here ;D
Omg it works. I was about to buy another controller because my right stick was going crazing. Pushing up or down in game without my input. I tested it on my most drifted games and so far no issues! Was also about to open it for cleaning damn, I might break it. You saved me $$ sir!
Subscribed!
Dude just give it back to Sony holy shit sony will never learn from those faults if people just buy a new one
@@Pavian651 dude my geographic location does not allow me to return to Sony. Always wanted the black one anyway.
@@gaelwhite6338 ok
Bought a new controller, already is having stick drift after maybe 6 uses
Wow I actually just tried the first step and it seems to have worked! Thanks alot man!
I dropped a little (not a lot) isopropyl alcohol on the "ball" part of the stick while the stick was held to the either side. Then move the stick around in a circle and mixing up the direction of your rotations every 4 or 5 rotations or so (or to your liking). I had to do this a couple times before it was fixed, allowing the alcohol sufficient time to evaporate before starting a new "set of rotations".
yo this is smart. Imma try this out
Big help, fixed both my controller, the second one started playing up so thought I’d better look into sorting it out and worked perfectly! Thank you
Awesome you've just saved me buying a new controller. This problem has been annoying me for weeks but seems to be solved after watching this video and doing this.
I've taken apart my PS4 controllers so many times to fix ghosting and drift problems with isopropyl swaps and I was dreading having to do the same with my PS5 controller but hot damn I cannot believe just blowing into it like that worked! You're an absolute life saver! ❤
@zeldadude3 when your analogue gives inputs which are different to the ones you gave. The most common example is when you push all the way forward but the controller registers that as you pushing half way forward and jittering up and down.
I really didn't think this was going to work, but it did. Well done, and thank you.
Thanks a lot, I honestly thought it wouldn't work but it really did, it was an annoying type of stick drift where you would move the analog stick and it would move it left constantly and now its fixed. This helped a lot.
I’m surprised at how well this worked lol. Thanks!
I’ve been having stick drift for a few months now. Tried all three of these methods, tried it out, and it seems to have fixed the issue! Saved me the hassle of sending my controller in! Thanks man!!
Still Good ?
@@god-bnd9289 as far as I know, it’s still good. Haven’t noticed any issues with it. I had an issue with it about a month ago but repeated these steps and it worked again
@@davidbrewer1926and now?
Holy crap! First method worked like a charm. Pull up and over and blow all around did it. Thank you! I was thinking I was out a controller and was gonna have to buy a new one and I just got my system 3 months ago! Thanks!
Thank you! I had pretty much unplayable drift and raising the stick and blowing in seemed to do it!
Got 2 controllers and got drift on both lol
Ur not alone
Same here ps5 controllers suck
I got 3 and all 3 have drift ffs
Just spray in electrical contact cleaner spray between your analog sticks
@@hamdjz4508 they aren't that bad, haven't experienced drift at all, and their easy to teardown
I was skeptical watching the video but tried it and… it actually worked! I was so relieved, thanks a lot! I used pressurized air on a can instead of blowing myself but it did wonders.
Heh heh... *blowing myself...* heh heh heh
wow that was surprisingly simple. It actually worked. Didnt expect much from just simply blowing on my controller but it disappeared instantly. Thanks man
This legit fixed the controller I use and one that had an even worse drift I haven’t used for months. Thanks!
I just want everyone to Remember that stick drift across all consoles wouldn’t be that common if the manufacturers didn’t go for the cheaper joystick options
Wow such wisdon!!! who cares!!! jackss
Indeed
Create the problem sell the solution. They knew this would be a problem. And they knew we would have too buy a new controller
There are some of us who FIX the controller instead the dumb ones just buy another one like its planned... who are you? @@quavezlester5792
Thanks for the tip! The first method worked instantly for me
This is absolutely did the trick! Not sure which one, seeing as I did all three, but the drift is no longer there. Thanks for the help!
I appreciate you man! I thought my PS5 controller's analog stick somehow broke but after Step 1, it doesn't have this problem anymore! I appreciate you fr💯
Thank you so much! You are an absolute legend. I've had stick drift on both of my controllers, and this just fixed the worst one. Gonna repeat on my other one right now!
Thanks man. Tried this on two PS5 controllers that I've had since launch and it surprisingly seems to have fixed both. Much appreciated!
after 8 months,does it fix stick drift at all?
@@TRI-xe3xw No, my shit is done for
After one year of Ps5
Both controllers started this shit
And this tutorial doesn't work
@@StephenKurdy RIP controller
There's a video that shows the real way to fix It but you do have to take the controller apart . Saved my two controllers.
Run through the whole routine everytime I start a session haven’t had stick drift since I began doing so, appreciate it man 👍🏻
U do that every day 😦?
@@ivel1n he said every session, he could do it 5 times a day
Morning yoga for the ps5 controller. Nice. I need to try this because I've got drift
i hate that im laughing at this, its aCTUALLY SO ANNOYING, im going to buy a new controller but yes this is now my routine,@@thebrownmountainlights7718
Did all three methods on both of my controllers, seems working now. Thanx for the help, BIG THUMBS up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Method number 3 worked for me!!! Thank you so much! I was so nervous that I had to buy another controller but I tried out the method and bam its working again!! Your a legend! You deserve way more recognition!
Honestly can't believe it actually helped 🤣 Thank you!
Perfect, worked for me as well. Thanks for the tips!
I wish I found this guide earlier. Thanks mate, method #1 did the trick
Thank you so much, this fixed our controller we thought was dead. You saved me 70$
Thank you so much, my controller drift got way worse than it ever was before, and this actually worked.
Yea this kinda fixed mine too!
So did mine! for now anyways!
I fully expected this to not work. But it does and it did. Thanks man. Life saver.
Had stick drift issues for a minute now they’re fixed thanks a bunch!
It really helped 😮 thank you!
10/10 wasn’t expecting this to work. best vid ever no cap
thank you so much worked so well and dint even have to do anything complicated
BOOM!! Dude thank you SO MUCH!!! Step 1 did it for me right away. You're amazing, thanks so much for the awesome easy video!
So I’ve blown it and I’m now really light headed!! I’ll sacrifice my head if it means I get minimal drift :)
I can’t express how much I love you, man! This drifting has been torturing me for months and u made it that easy in a matter of a few minutes! ♥️ merry Christmas and a happy new year to you from you grateful russian friend!!!
Thank you so much for this! I didn´t have anymore drifting on my right stick for weeks now!
Thank you so much for this, I tried about 2 others guides and a different video and nothing worked, but this fixed everything. Thanks do much dude, very much appreciated
This completely fixed all my joystick drift! Thank you so much!!!!
Does it still drift?
hitting the reset button?
I did all of your advises and it worked! Right stick was moving….Thank you very much sir!
Thank you so much, this worked for me. Just got Salt and Sanctuary + Sacrifice and this was a CRUCIAL problem for me.
This worked for me. Had been experiencing L stick upward drift after under a year of use, but these exercises seem to have solved it! Thanks very much!
☝️📩📩🚀🚀🚀
my stick was drifting to the left and in my opinion that is probably worse depending on the game
@@danf1025 when your playing f1 and you just turning left slightly it goes fully left which sucks alot
Same exact thing on mine also under a year, this also worked. Idk how I had a ps 2,3, and 4 and never had this issue lol. I mean after years of dropping etc of course I’d buy a new one but maybe 2 total for either the ps3 or 4 and I had them for YEARS maybe 10 years my ps4.
@@danf1025 omg first person shooter nightmare.
The blowing one helped me.. because the controller was spasing out acting really sus so I tested it in Astro’s playroom controller demo..
OMG TYSM i didn't know if this would actually work or not but it definately did
Thanks for this video mate. My controller had crazy stick drift and this method solved all that
This really helped and I super appreciate you getting straight to the various fixes right away. Good stuff man!
Worked a treat, much appreciated mate 🙌🏻
Omg thank you so much! I had this stupid drift since release and this finally worked!
Surprised to say this actually worked, thank you!
Okay in my case it didn’t exactly fix it but it did slightly help. I had a super bad drift and now I just have a bad drift. So I mean it’s alright.
Was not expecting this to work at all. Fixed three controllers with it. Dudes a lifesaver
Do they still work? I'm going to try
Actually worked! The third method actually worked with an intense stick drift I had with the left stick. Thanks!!!!
Wow this worked!! Thank you so much! i don't know which one worked because i decided to do all three before i test playing with it. Much appreciated!!
Thank you so much, I was going to buy another controller until I found this video. Love you my guy, if you ever start making an onlyfans i got you.
I normally just go to walmart and buy a controller and bring the one with drift back the next day..... I shouldn't have to fix Sony's issue.
yoooo life hack
I did this and it works, they want to sale us broken controllers let's send them back.🤘
Exactly bro I not finna be paying basically $100 a year to keep buy their shitty ass controllers
@@juddakooda9520 I've done it a couple times, I love the ps5 experience but i have my regret moments sometimes because of this reason.
was half expecting this not to work, i was wrong this video helped a lot, thanks man
Daaang this actually worked!! Right stick was drifting up randomly and getting janky. No longer. Thanks!!
I literally just blew air into the gap and it fixed the drift immediately, thank you!
Same
same
Fixed my drift issue! Such an easy fix you can do it on the fly while gaming too if it happens again. Thanks!
☝️📩📩🚀📈📊
THANKS SO MUCH! THIS INSTANTLY HELPED ON STEP ONE AND I WAS SO WORRIED THAT I HAD TO TAKE APART THE CONTROLLER. I SUBBED CUZ THIS IS SO USEFUL. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!
Commenting to support this blessing of a video. It worked! Elden Ring was extra hard for the first twelve hours because I couldn’t move backwards
One of my controllers had severe drift to the point of being unusable. The methods in this video fixed it.
I did not expect these simple fixes to work at all. Awesome!
I did these routines, didn't work the first time but I did it multiple times over and over and I think it worked!
Update: none of these worked
Same
Thank you.
1st method got it solved ... that saved me lots of hustle
So glad we came across your video. I ended up buying a new remote before I saw this but now we have two functional remotes. Ty
PULL iT OUT! Brilliant! Thank you! That's the answer! Dude, YOU ROCK!🤘🏼
Was able to fix the drift on my dude's controllers with these tips. Thanks bro!
All right I just have to comment. I'm an electronic repair technician who specializes on video game consoles. I've not yet messed with a ps5 controller because based on the ps4 dualshocks, I know replacing those joysticks can be a pain. I was going to take a crack at it though so I start here. Chad says pull the stick back and blow in it. I roll my eyes, yea sure but okay. I'll try all the steps in order until I get to the solution I 'know' is going to be required (Joystick replacement). So I blow in the thing and holy shit it works. I'm like no way. I intentionally start trying to cause the original issue again. Rocking the stick violently. Pressing on it harder than should be pressed on it. No drift. I'm literally sitting here stunned and dumbfounded. Thanks, a lot for the vid man!
I was sceptical at first but it worked! Thanks so much for saving my controller!
Unfortunately, these methods not only did not work, but made the drifting far more severe =(
It did the same for me
Same
Same
Take apart your remote and you have to clean the rotator things in the analog sticks with alcohol you have to open them with a flathead screw driver
It fixed for me
Pressing the small reset button on the back of the controller can help too.
Just came back years later...to say that this fixed my controller thank you so much for this video !
Was not expecting to solve the drift problem with this, but I gave it a try anyway and holly molly!!!! The controller is 100% now! Thank you so much bro!!!
Just sent my controller a couple months back and now it’s back , stick drift happened with the new controller update
Same for me
@@R_____.Singhs really
@@AXRYA_ yep after the update I had drift but before I had nothing at all
@@R_____.Singhs yes, my controller was working fine, but yesterday it started drifting while i was playing demon souls.
Same after update
Wtf this is still a problem on ps5 that’s horse shit
Then why do Pl buy it?
It’s even worse in ps5 but this video fixes it for some time then it goes back
@@jefe6431 it’s because the sensors they use. If you get better quality ones it lasts they use cheap ones to make the controllers less
Thats what im saying
First tip actually worked. Thank you very much!
The third method worked for me, thank you so much ✋❤️
But why the keys on the controller are reversed?🤣🤣
I think it’s a left hand controller😂
@@jefe6431 the video is flipped ... idiot.
@@jefe6431 clown-to-clown communication
That doesn’t work overtime its going to get worse
What you could do is put medical alcohol inside the controller sticks, and it lucky fixed my problem
@@elienaihernandez3681 what did you you to get the alcohol into the sticks ? A paper towel or cotton swab ?
@@daheatforeal how do you even believe what he is saying. No alcohol inside your controller won’t fix it
@@T1LL3R 😂😂 listen I’m just sick of the drift so I’m listening to options lmao
@@daheatforeal yeah bro I bought a new controller yesterday and when I opened the box the right stick is already misplaced where it is naturally tilted to forwards to the right. I’m convinced Sony’s ps5 controllers are garbage, and we are paying 100s of dollars for nothing
I bought a Dualsense today from a guy and found out later that it was drifting. I came across your video and it works fine now ! Thank you so much !!!
You are a Legend. Since I followed These steps my Stick Drift Just was gone so I want to thank you I am so thankfull
Thanks for the video! The 1st method you did worked!!
I couldn't believe that it was all because I needed to blow on the analog for it to work due to some dust. Thank you so much for this video!
Didn't fully fix it but definitely helped a lot thanks man
OMG! THANK YOU! it helped !!! I started dessassembling was planning ro replace thestick AND BOOM this guy ♥
Omg thanks you so much, that’s works like a charm!
The one where you hold the sticks down and rotate worked for me, thank you!
Thank you so much for this information, it helped me do much!
bro thanks dude I been so stressed u really own it up new sub
Thank you for this easy tip 👍this helps me a lot
