How to Stop Stick Drift on Your Nintendo Switch

Are you tired of your character moving on its own because of stick drift on your Nintendo Switch? Let’s find out how to fix this annoying issue once and for all.

Stick drift on the Nintendo Switch happens when your joystick doesn’t return to its original position after you move it, causing your game character or cursor to drift on the screen. But don’t worry, we’ve got some solutions for you.

Quick Fixes for Stick Drift

The quickest way to tackle stick drift on your Nintendo Switch is by recalibrating the controllers. You can easily do this in the system settings under “Controllers and Sensors.” Cleaning around the joystick with a dry toothbrush can also help remove any dust that might be causing the issue.
