FAQ
How do I correct controller drift on the PS5?
When the thumb stick on your PS5 detects motions, you aren’t doing, it’s known as controller drift. Applying a small amount of rubbing alcohol to the “ball” to which the stick is attached and moving the stick around to clean and remove debris are two possible fixes. You can order a replacement stick and install it yourself if you have the necessary tools, such as a soldering iron. If not, you should get in touch with Sony for repair, particularly if the controller is still covered by warranty.
