OMG YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!! the earbud + perfume method is working. Thank you brother. You don't know how much i appreciated this. I was about to smash this freakin controller at my first wife. Glad i found your video
Do you remember the Smiling Friends episode of Alan trying to get the paper clips from this old guy with the crooked nose that fixes everything? Yeah I'm that old guy and I got to fixing my PS5 controller and holy shit my right stick works! Tried out Tekken 8 and I don't see Lidia having a seizure on my main menu, Tried out MW3 Firing Range and I'm giddy with excitement and I just got done fighting the last Ghostflame Dragon in Elden Ring. (UPDATE 24HRS LATER) ....Nah, My PS5 right stick is heavily drifting harder than Vin Disel hitting whips. Fighting Consort Radahn with a bad stick drift is NOT easy at all.
This may solve a dirty or dusty controller but does not sort a faulty analogue module. The modules are cheap and only have a certain amount of revolutions before the manufacture says they would require replacement. Same modules in ps5, Xbox, Nintendo controllers
That's why the best solution is to get hall effect modules and send it to your repairman he will swap them or you can buy a hall effect controller but they are expensive
Thank you I did that and thank you before I tried hitting my controller and stepping on it but after this video my controller started to work again so thank you
Oh my god ive been cycling through my 3 controllers, the last one finally got drift and i went back to the first to fix it, it was as simple as pushing down for 10 seconds. Thank you fr so simple
Have you ever come across stick drift that appears to cause interaction between both sticks? For example, in first person games, if I pull back on the left stick, I begin to turn to the right.
You may be very very lucky in removing an offending piece of debris that may be causing drift, but generally speaking, your methods will do exactly zero to solve drift and its causes. Drift is 99% of the time due to the actuators and associated components. Total strip down and cleaning of contact points is what is needed. And if that doesn’t work, you’ll need replacement wipers or complete actuator assembly.
You know I’ve never experienced this before only on the PS5 controllers. I’ve been through so many controllers it’s so annoying. What a terrible design by Sony. You should not have to do this to use a controller. My PS3 controller still works like new but all my PS5 controllers have this annoying issue and it’s always the left sick for me.
Bro I had stick drift for 2 years on my ps5 controller I tried everything I even opened it and took it apart and cleaned it it didn’t work but by just using a q-tip and some old cologne I fixed it Ty bro because my only working controller was fried because my friend pour a coke in it so I fixed the one with stick drift like actually I love you
My question is why is this just a ps5 thing. My controllers (all of them mind you, 5 for ps3 and 3 for ps4) all work great to this day, but all 3 of my ps5 controllers are messed up either with drift or on the 3rd one my dpad down doesn't work. What gives?
My PS2 controller from 2003 still works like new but the "cutting-edge technology" of my PS5 controller started drifting last night even though I've always been careful with it...
I tried everything and I mean everything not just the things in the video for like a couple months and its still stick drift I really don't know what to do anymore
@@bernardmcbridejr850 probably because it ain’t the problem in this video is the stupidest thing I ever seen to fix a controller. What do you like 12?😂
Bro. You’re a lifesaver. Thank you so much. The 3rd solution saved me plenty of stress and money. Also thanks to you. I will be cleaning my PS5 remotes regularly!
of course it won't help! Just look any video of disassempling dual sense gamepad to understand, that methods above are well... not so helpfulll try to replace stick in any decent service point, that will help
I don’t know if I have stick drift , but what happens with me is my character screen would randomly look up quickly on its own , idk what why it does that
I don't think I have stick drift the problem I have is I barley tap the right stick like the stick doesn't even move and then my character starts slowly looking what ever direction I'm barley taping the stick what what should I do????
Like how tf do my old ps4 stick still work good asf but my just 5months old ps5 stick don’t. Sony dropped the ball bad it should unlock the ps4 controller so we can play ps5 games with it.
Tbh the only thing that worked was blowing any dust into the controller after I blow my stick drift started getting better I don’t wanna say it’ll work for everyone but it’ll work for sum people
Thanks for this vid.
My drift was so bad I thought my controller was busted. Just did this and it worked.
did u use cologne?
Same bro I just blew and boom back to normal
I just smashed the controller and surprisingly start working perfectly
Still workin?
@@mattatron5k probaly not
dis tha only thing that worked 😭😭😭 thanks
Same lmao
Seriously
This fixed everything now my stupid controller won't sabotage my doom eternal boss battles.
FRR
I used the rubbing alcohol method. Looks like it works, but I have a feeling I may have to do it again at some point in the future.
most likely
Used the blow method worked like a charm incase it does drift again I would blow a few more times then. I would use the alcohol method
Every week or so I have to lmao
Seems to have worked or definitely not as bad as it used to be. Thank you.
If ps6 has this same problem again , I’m not even gonna bother buyin it !! It’s ridiculous !!
OMG YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!! the earbud + perfume method is working. Thank you brother. You don't know how much i appreciated this. I was about to smash this freakin controller at my first wife. Glad i found your video

They charge us 70 bucks for a cheap plastic controller that gets stick drift in 1 year 💀
Thank you I did that and thank you before I tried hitting my controller and stepping on it but after this video my controller started to work again so thank you

np bro, thanks for watching my video. glad it worked for you.
My PS2 controller from 2003 still works brilliantly and has never drifted but not my PS5 controller, ain't that just sad?
you’d think our technology would get better and more reliable over time 😂.
very sad.
@@FixitWithMark they definitely do it on purpose to make us keep buying their controllers.
@@FixitWithMarkthe alcohol doesn’t destroy the controller?
@ no
@@FixitWithMark ok will try ty
Bro saved my money although I think will have to do the cleaning again in d future .
But thanx ✌️
Thanks for the vid the alcohol method worked perfectly 👍. My drift was terrible 1:02

Your most likely just gonna have to replace the controller. Seems like the issue is bigger than just it being dirty.
My controller has this, moving the left stick will trigger R2, so when I try to walk, my character starts attacking like a mad man.
@@totem1 bruh how tf did you even get that to happen 😭
@@Kixal07 hahaha yeah no idea it's the worst thing ever
Me too🤔🇹🇹

Instructions unclear: I put cologne on my controller but now it’s dating my mom 😩
😂😂
I used the cheap perfume trick and it actually worked! You saved me $70!!!
$70 for a controller is crazy...
@@ZNDRLmao it really is
@@ZNDRLmao some resellers sell it at 50$ but even then.
Rubbing alcohol worked, thanks!
What about if I use alcohol pads
@@jordannnokwam4691it should work
THANK YOU SO MUCH i dont have to spend 60 now the rubbing alcohol one worked
Does the 70% percent alcohol ruin your controller or nah?
Bro my controller had drifts for months I tried everything I did the cheap perfume thing and it doesn’t drift anymore thank you
I used my gel to smash it and it worked
Bro you dont know how much u helped me i have been struggling so hard i stopped playing from that tysm bro ❤
This worked for me thank you so much
Bro i used the blow method for both of my controllers and it worked thank you for this video!!
Glad I could help
Thank you this worked
OMG IT WORKED YESSS I HAD STICK DRIFT THIS MORNING AFTER SCHOOL I WENT ON THIS VIDEO AND KNOW I DON'T HAVE IT
It actually worked whattttt, thank you❤
when you’re blowing air in the joy sticks aren’t you moving the dust deeper into the controller
If you blow and the drift stops that means its dust and nothing is faultly with the internal joystick.
This method definitely work I tried it my self controller works perfectly no left stuck drift
this was so helpful thanks man!!!
My question is why is this just a ps5 thing. My controllers (all of them mind you, 5 for ps3 and 3 for ps4) all work great to this day, but all 3 of my ps5 controllers are messed up either with drift or on the 3rd one my dpad down doesn't work. What gives?
Sony needs the extra money or some shit cuz this shit pissing me the fuck off
I actually had a ps4 controller get drift. Any part moving over time will wear out if friction or abrasion is present.
Ikr I remember when I had my PS4 I had two controllers and I've had them for over 3 year and I had no problem with stick drift..
My PS2 controller from 2003 still works like new but the "cutting-edge technology" of my PS5 controller started drifting last night even though I've always been careful with it...
It's a scam. Never had this issue before until the ps5.
THANK you I’m actually crying I LOVE YOU you getting a new SUB
grow up
Bro u saved my controller 🎉 thanks a lot ❤❤❤
Can 91% isopropyl alcohol work too?
Ngl I tried it shii worked
i literally opened my controller and cleaned out the sensor, still got drift, i might just use method 3, if it works, hell yeah and 20 kudos.
I blowed inside my controller, it stopped the drift temporarily for about 6 seconds before drifting again, but like the drift was very weak
I tried everything and I mean everything not just the things in the video for like a couple months and its still stick drift I really don't know what to do anymore
Take it to a shop atp
@@IsaacEnciso-oj3ig bro it’s been a year I just bought a new one😂

Bro. You’re a lifesaver. Thank you so much. The 3rd solution saved me plenty of stress and money. Also thanks to you. I will be cleaning my PS5 remotes regularly!
The que tip didn’t work but drenching my joystick in alcohol worked👍
😭

Tysm ❤❤❤❤❤ it worked so well
Yo when u use cheap perfume do u just spray it or just open it then then dip the q tip in?
@@Mowgss-_-amost probably spray it on the q tip
Brroooo i love you😂 thank you so much❤
Dude, thank you. In my case, solution #2 was enough 👍
I think it worked
update it worked for both my controllers
Thank u I think my controller needs therapy after I obliterated it’s dignity
I tried all the 3 methods it didn't work:(
of course it won't help!
Just look any video of disassempling dual sense gamepad to understand, that methods above are well... not so helpfulll
try to replace stick in any decent service point, that will help
I don't get y I'm getting this I just got the controller recently wtf
Same bro it's fuckin annoying
Hey thank you it worked and now i wilk play normally
Thanks for the video, fixed my issue
cheap cologne method worked instantly good video bro
If i tried for days with the alcohol and work a lot, but after a few time it start again. Is it broke at this point?
P.s. My pad has 5 months
Your alcohol method works thanks bro
Thank you so much I've been using my brothers controller I thought mine was long gone
Best to tear down and clean the contacts. Rubbing the outside wont do anything but shine it up.
Tearing it down is definitely the best thing to do. But for the people that don’t want to this is the next best thing
Thanks dude the second one worked for me
Yo bro all i did was blow into it thanks bro
thanks a lot man! It really worked :))
Help everytime on my controller the left stick when I press down it shoots in a game how can I fix it
Remap your buttons in game
Voldemort steps in: “Harry Potter… is dead” 🏴☠️🧙🏻♀️⚡️
Thank you bro really helped
Thank you
ur the best man, thanks. I thought i will have to buy a new controller
what other types of liquid work?
I don’t know if I have stick drift , but what happens with me is my character screen would randomly look up quickly on its own , idk what why it does that
You probably just need to reset your controller.
I don't think I have stick drift the problem I have is I barley tap the right stick like the stick doesn't even move and then my character starts slowly looking what ever direction I'm barley taping the stick what what should I do????
does hydrogen peroxide work for method 3? method 1 and 2 did nothing, and idk if i have isopropyl alcohol at my house
Did you figure it out I have the same question and your the only other one that’s seems the same
Wouldthiswotk in series s xbox controller
I sprayed VD40 into it. Has been working ok for 6 months now and still going.
I’m surprised this actually helped me out
Thank you I stayed 2 hours scrolling 😂
Does hand sanitizer count as a rubbing alcohol?
I used old cologne and it worked
Not all heroes where capes. THANK YOU BRO , i’m goin to hogwarts.
Solution 1 automatically work😂 thanks man😊
What kind of alcohol? Ive got 91% and wanna know if that'll work.
Is there a substitute for the rubbing alcohol
The alcohol step works just so you know.
Does the 70% percent alcohol ruin your controller or nah cuz my has drift it moves by its side by its self does it affect it or nah?
Like how tf do my old ps4 stick still work good asf but my just 5months old ps5 stick don’t. Sony dropped the ball bad it should unlock the ps4 controller so we can play ps5 games with it.
Tysm this helped alot
Do you have to leave it to dry or just play once you have put the acholol om it??
Thanks it really helps 🎉
That actually help me for real this I did not will work thank you so much 🙏
Hey thanks man I was having troubles but this actually worked.
Thank you so much I've been trying to play Elden ring and my drift kept leading me back into there attacks
Ty sm bro your a life saver 🙏🏼
No problem 👍
thx bro second option worked and i was flabbergasted sheesh

I’m hoping this works as i can no longer use the cruise missile killstreak since my stick keeps drifting down

@@chasekrus2124 this tutorial actually fixed mine you should try it if you haven’t already

How long do I have for the rubbing alcohol to dry after using that method? Also, WD-40 Contact Cleaner method works.
