Hey everyone, today I am going to be showing you how to fix analog/thumbstick stick drift on a ps4 controller. These tips and tricks will help fix stick drift on playstation dualshock controllers so you won't have to spend more money buying another ps4 controller.

Here’s how to fix stick drift on your PS4 controller without using tools:

Step 1: Reset the Controller
Power Off the PS4 Console: Turn it off to avoid interference during the reset.

Find the Reset Button:
Look for a small hole on the back of the controller near the L2 button.
Use a paperclip or pin to press and hold the reset button for 5-7 seconds.
Reconnect to the Console:

Plug the controller into the PS4 with a USB cable and turn the console back on.

Step 2: Clean the Analog Sticks
Power Off the Controller: Ensure the controller is off before cleaning.
Use Isopropyl Alcohol:

Lightly dampen a cotton swab or microfiber cloth with isopropyl alcohol (70% or higher).

Gently clean around the base of the analog stick, moving it in circular motions to dislodge debris.
Move the Stick:

Rotate the stick fully in all directions while cleaning to ensure thorough coverage.

Let It Dry: Allow a few minutes for the alcohol to evaporate completely before turning the controller back on.

Step 3: Recalibrate the Controller
On the PS4 menu, navigate to Settings - Devices - Controllers.
Select Calibrate Analog Sticks (if available) and follow the prompts.
Alternatively, use a PC:

Connect the controller to a PC via USB or Bluetooth.
Use controller software like DS4Windows to recalibrate the sticks.

Step 4: Update the Controller Firmware
Connect the controller to the PS4 using a USB cable.
Ensure the system software and controller firmware are up to date. Updates can sometimes fix drift issues.

Step 5: Prevent Future Drift
Avoid Excess Pressure: Avoid pressing the sticks too hard during intense gameplay.

Keep the Controller Clean: Wash your hands before playing and store the controller in a dust-free area.
