Had the same issue! I fixed it by updating the controller firmware through the PS5 settings. Just connect the controller, go to Settings > Accessories > Controller (General) > Update Wireless Controller Device Software. Worked like a charm!

Try resetting the controller by pressing the small reset button on the back near the L2 button with a pin or paperclip. If that doesn鈥檛 work, you might need to clean the analog sticks gently with compressed air or isopropyl alcohol.

If the reset and cleaning don't work, you might need to recalibrate the controller in the PS5 settings. Go to Settings > Accessories > Controller (General) > Calibrate Control Sticks. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration.
