How to Fix Analog Stick Drift on PS4 Controller (Fast Tutorial)
3Analog stick drift on a PS4 controller (DualShock 4) can be frustrating, but it is often fixable. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Clean the Analog Stick
Dust and grime are common causes of stick drift. Here's how to clean it:
Turn off the controller to avoid accidental inputs.
Use a compressed air can to blow around the base of the analog stick.
Dampen a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol (70% or higher).
Gently rub the base of the analog stick in a circular motion.
Move the stick around to clean under the edges.
Allow it to dry completely (a few minutes) before turning the controller back on.
2. Recalibrate the Controller
You can reset or recalibrate the controller to fix any software issues.
Option 1: Reset via Controller Button
Turn off your PS4.
Locate the reset button on the back of the controller (a small hole near the L2 button).
Use a pin or paperclip to press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds.
Reconnect the controller to the PS4 using a USB cable and test.
