Analog stick drift on a PS5 controller can be a frustrating issue, and while the most effective way to fix it is to open the controller and clean or replace the components causing the problem, there are a few things you can try without disassembling the controller: Calibrate the Controller: PS5 has a built-in calibration tool that you can use to recalibrate the analog sticks. Here's how: Go to "Settings" on your PS5. Select "Accessories" - "Controllers." Choose "Adjust Analog Stick Sensitivity." Follow the on-screen instructions to recalibrate the sticks. Clean the Sticks: Sometimes, dust or debris can get inside the analog sticks, causing drift. You can try to clean them without disassembling the controller: Turn off the controller. Use a can of compressed air to blow air around the base of the analog stick. Gently rotate and press the stick in all directions while blowing air to dislodge any debris. Turn the controller back on and test if the drift is reduced. Software Updates: Ensure your PS5 and the controller's firmware are up-to-date. Sometimes, firmware updates can address controller issues. Adjust Deadzone Settings: Some games allow you to adjust deadzone settings. The deadzone is a small area around the center of the analog stick where no input is registered. Increasing the deadzone can sometimes compensate for minor drift issues, but it may affect precision. ...
