First, try resetting your controller. There's a small reset button on the back; use a paperclip to press it for about 5 seconds. If that doesn’t work, make sure your controller is fully charged and try re-pairing it with your PS4 by connecting it via a USB cable.

Had the same issue! A full reset usually does the trick—there's a tiny button on the back of the controller. If your buttons are sticking, try cleaning them with a slightly damp cotton swab.

Honestly, a lot of these problems are battery-related. Swap out the battery if you’ve had the controller for a while—it can make a world of difference!

Check if there’s a firmware update for your controller. Sometimes updating the software can fix weird issues out of nowhere. I had a drift problem that an update magically solved!

Try cleaning out the port where you plug in the USB cable. Dust and debris can sometimes mess up the connection.
