DualSense Controller V2 Stick Drift Fix

Giriş

Is your controller's aim moving on its own? Did your character start to run in other directions when you try to run straight? You may be experiencing analog stick drift on your PS5 controller.

This guide details how to repair the stick drift issue in a DualSense PlayStation 5 controller.

Like all controllers, PS5 controller drifting issues are caused by physical damage, simple wear and tear due to regular use, and gunk or grease (yes, your sweaty hands). This guide only applies to controllers with gunk or grease that causes stick drift.

Opening up a controller sounds like a drag, and it's much easier to buy a new one. However, repairing your controller not only saves you $70+ bucks, but also reduces e-waste.

Great pictures, great descriptions, and a finish that wasn’t just “do everything in reverse.” Can’t ask for anything more.

Perfect. Thank you for your time and effort on this. I just followed this successfully for the third time now. Saving so many “busted” controllers

Ryan - Yanıt

Had everything on hand except a steady hand lol. After much persistence and muttered oaths I succeeded. Ifixit is the goat. Ps small intricate parts required small intricate hands hence the oaths and persistence.

Ok the guide is good and the process works well. However I ran into a new problem following this - my right stick cannot register as being fully pushed to the left or right. In games where this controls the camera, the camera is a little slower as a result of this. Specifically in Fallout 76, in VATS you use the right stick at it's FULL left or right in order to switch between targeted areas - I can now not do that. Of course, plugging in another controller that is known to work and these issues go away. Using software to correct the sensitivity of the left and right axis of this stick corrects the speed at which the camera pan behaves, however it does not work to allow the VATS targetting.

Can anyone weigh in on what I should be looking at around the joystick potentiometer slots that could cause this? Could perhaps a very fine hair cause this issue or is it indicative of something more serious that may not be fixable by the average user?

Jeremy Kelly - Yanıt

Would the iFixit Precision Cleaning Kit work for this job?
