First, check if your PS5 controller just needs a firmware update. Go to Settings > Accessories > Controllers. If that doesn't work, try resetting it by pressing the small reset button on the back with a paperclip for 5 seconds. Also, if your buttons stick or the sticks drift, a gentle clean with isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth might help!

If your PS5 controller is having connection issues, try using a different USB-C cable. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one!

Honestly, just get a new one if it's under warranty. Repairs can be tricky without the right tools.

I've had stick drift on my PS5 controller. I fixed it by opening it up and cleaning the analog sticks with compressed air and a tiny bit of isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip. Make sure to be gentle!
