• Title: PlayStation 5 controller moves on its own
• English: PlayStation 5 controller moves on its own
• Subject: The video shows a PS5 controller (DualSense) moving without any buttons being pressed or touched, meaning it's giving commands on its own.
• Possible Causes:
1. Drift Issue: The analog sticks lose sensitivity over time, sending signals even when not touched. (Similar to "Joy-Con drift" on the Nintendo Switch.)
2. Vibration Motor or Sensor Failure: If the motor or gyroscope sensor inside the controller malfunctions, it may react on its own.
3. Bluetooth/Software Issue: Signal interference may occur when connected wirelessly to a console or PC.
4. Physical Issue: Contact with dirt, dust, or liquid inside the controller can also trigger this behavior.

🛠️ Possible Solutions

2. Software update: Connect to PS5 and update the DualSense.
3. Cleaning: Gently clean the analog sticks with isopropyl alcohol.
4. Try with a cable: Try with a USB cable to determine if it's a Bluetooth issue.
5. Service: If the problem persists, apply for Sony's warranty.
