How to Fix Stick Drift on PS4

Best Answer

First, try resetting your controller. Use a paperclip to press the tiny reset button on the back of the DualShock 4 for a few seconds. If that doesn't work, your analog stick might need cleaning or you may need a new controller.

From my experience, opening the controller and cleaning the potentiometers with compressed air can sometimes help fix the drift issue. Just make sure to be careful with the small parts inside.

A quick fix for stick drift is to clean the joystick with some isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab. Just be gentle to avoid damaging the controller.
