How Do You Fix PlayStation Controller Stick Drift?

How To Fix Stick Drift? Ever since I was a kid, Xbox has been a staple in my life, and the joysticks on the controllers have always been a source of frustration for me. Drift stick, which occurs when your character in the game moves or glances around when you’re not holding the controller, is the most common issue I encounter. In both first- and third-person video games, this can be a huge hindrance to having a good time and getting good results. So that others may avoid making the same mistake I did, I decided to write this manual. It won’t take long at all, and you’ll simply need some cotton balls, 70% isopropyl alcohol, and some water to fix the issue.

Step: 1

The joysticks should be gently pushed and pulled. You can try pressing down on the sticks and leaning them in different ways until they click if the problem first occurs this way. Another option is to use your finger to press the joystick’s base. Try pulling up on the stick and clicking it into place if that doesn’t work.

Step: 2

To power down your Xbox, press and hold the Xbox button on the controller for a few seconds. To restart the Xbox, wait a few seconds and then press and hold the power button.

Step: 3

In order to restart the Xbox One, press the power button. All newly arising faults can be remedied by a system restart.

• To access the Guide, press the Xbox button located in the controller’s center.
• Go to your profile and systems settings.
• A power option will appear.
• Choose to Power down the system.
• Please be patient and wait 5 minutes.
• The Xbox button can be accessed from the device’s faceplate.
• Check to see if the issue persists.

Step: 4

The batteries need to be replaced. Low battery levels are a common cause of controller malfunction. I would recommend changing the batteries to see if it helps.

Step: 5

Bring the controller back into sync. If your controller has lost connection, you can try resyncing it to see if that resolves the problem.

• To connect your Xbox, select the option Connect from the left controller.
• Maintain continuous pressure on the connect button located in the top, right-hand corner of the controller.

Step: 6

You need to get the latest update for your Xbox controller. There is a chance that updating the controller’s firmware will resolve any problems you’re having with it. Below are the procedures you should follow to upgrade your Xbox controller:

• Use the USB cord to link your controller to the Xbox.
• To access the encyclopedic Guide, simply press the Xbox button on the controller.
• Go to the Settings/Gear menu.
• Go to the Preferences menu.
• Choose your Kinect and gadgets.
• Choose Your Equipment and Add-ons.
• Make use of the More choices menu.
• Choose a Firmware Release.
• Choose the “Update immediately” option.

Step: 7

Use pressurized air to wipe down the sticks. You can spray the end of the stick by pressing it in one direction. Inhale and exhale in fast, brief spurts. As you spray the other side of the base, keep pressing the stick in all directions. You should wait a while before re-inserting the batteries into the controller.  Don’t spray moisture into the controller’s circuitry by tilting the can of compressed air.
