Troubleshooting

How to calibrate and fix stick drift on a gamepad

Stick drift happens when the analog stick moves or registers input without being touched. This web tool will help you to carry out the controller stick drift test. If stick drift is detected you can fix it by trying these methods.

Reset the controller

If you turn your PS4/PS5 controller there is a small reset button on the back that can be pressed with a pin. Press it and hold for 5 seconds then reconnect via USB and turn it back on.

For the Xbox controller, there is no reset button on the back. Still, you remove the battery for 10-15 seconds it will work like reset button and reconnect.

Calibrate on PC

Connect the controller with your PC, click on Start button and search for Game Controller Settings then go for Properties – Settings tab – Calibrate, and follow the wizard.

Check firmware update

Check the firmware and driver updates. An old firmware or driver may cause compatibility issues resulting in improper work.

Cleaning the joystick

Maybe some dust causing input issues or stick drift. You can remove it by gently cleaning around the joystick using a soft cloth or cotton gauze with a suitable cleaner.

Hardware failure

If drift continues, the internal stick module may be worn out and require repair or replacement. It will not fix the hardware issue.

How to Resolve Trigger Sticking and Button Issues

To fix it, first clean around it using compressed air or a cotton pad with isopropyl alcohol. If that doesn’t help, the internal spring or plastic may be damaged and may require opening the controller to repair or replace the part. Parts are easily available in the market for most of the controllers. After fixing the issue test the controller again for its functionality.

Gamepad controller cleaning

TIP: For slight drifting, you can increase the dead zone for a controller in the game setting. This tells the game to ignore tiny stick movements that happen on their own.
