  • I was having bad stick drift... to the point some of my games were almost unplayable. I watched this other video where a guy sprayed rubbing alcohol on it while wiggling the stick around, then he took the black circle off and really cleaned it. I found this video before trying that and this worked. I did leave my battery out of it for a few minutes to "let it reset" then when I re-calibrated the left controller there was no drift. worked great.

    I actually cracked open my left controller a few months ago to clean the stick with alcohol and it fixed the problem completely... but this seems way easier and just as effective! Wish I would have known about this before haha. Thanks GT!

  • @allyma3

    Wow, i didnt know this was a prominent issue everyone else was having. Ive been scared to play certain games because the stick drift is so bad. Thank you for the fix
  • WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner. Take batteries out of controllers for at least 3-4 mins then spray not too much cleaner and rotate the joystick clockwise and counterclockwise. Let dry for 15 min. Fixed bad drift in both my controllers, works like new
  • Sadly because how how screwed up my controller is, it only reduced the problem. My controller still drifts, just not as aggressively.

    My white dot is just going all over the place when i move the sitck a little idk how big i should make the circle, but still thank you!

    Just found out my stick drift after a month and a half was so bad I had to set a 95% dead zone just to move normally, which means I can't walk in games anymore

    I used wd40 contact cleaner and it almost fully fixed problem But i still have issue with when i stop pushing my left controler forowoard it pushes back for a millisecond Not really big issue since it just helps me stop in place easier Kinda op
  • My joystick has drifting for the last few months. I used to love playing on my Oculus Quest, but my left controller had SO MUCH drifting. I have among us VR, and I tried switching to left-handed controls. That helped a bit, but every now and then I would just spin. I’m hoping this will erase the problem completely. Wish me luck
  • This helped me so much it compleately fixed my stick drift

    Like the Switch, this is caused by the stick click (L3 and R3 in PlayStation terms) which is deforming the housing of the analog sticks' sensors. Many people will continue to say it is dust and wear of the graphite pads, but the wear is normal and expected, and this is an outdated idea of what the problem is. You can be more careful while depressing the sticks for the click input (don't mash multiple times), or more ideally, just not use that input if possible.

    So I'm just gonna tell everyone about the rubbing alcohol trick: Remove the batteries, grab a cue tip, get rubbing alcohol, do NOT dab the rubbing alcohol on the cue tip. Instead, squirt the rubbing alcohol into the joystick. Roll the joystick around, pull it, push it. Do it until the rubbing alcohol dries (trust me, it dries fast) what you are basically doing to getting rid of all the gunk inside the sensor that is causing the drift. Once it dries, try it out, If it help a little but not much, do it again.

    My drift is so violent that it might be easier to just buy a new controller all together
