If you’re experiencing problems with your PlayStation 4 controller stick drifting, there are a few things you can do to try and fix the issue. Here are four tips to help:

  1. Check for loose connections One of the first things you should do if your controller stick is drifting is to check for any loose connections. Make sure all of the cables connecting the controller to the console are tight and properly seated. If there are any loose connections, they will cause the controller to drift.
  2. Adjust your grip If you’re using a standard DualShock 4 controller, you may want to adjust your grip in order to reduce stick drift. Try gripping the controller more tightly in your hand or using a different grip style such as palm-grip or finger-grip. This will help reduce movement of the sticks on their own and also improve overall control over games and apps on your PlayStation 4 console.
  3. Use a gamepad extender cable If adjusting your grip or using a gamepad extender cable doesn’t solve the problem, it may be time to try out another controller. If you have an extra PS4 Controller (or DualShock 4), try using that instead of your original one in order to see if that solves the drift issue. If not, it might be time for a new PS4 system or replacement controllers altogether! ..
