How To X | How to Fix Analog Stick Drift on a PS4 Controller | Repair & Get Rid of Jittery Sticking DualShock 4 @HowToX | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 43 minutes ago.
12 Solutions (some new) for resolving analog stick problems with a Sony DS4 Gamepad. Many involve cleaning from the outside, but also taking the controller apart and cleaning on the inside. Soldering fixes are also discussed. I also show how to properly test the controller, I explain dead zones, and I get honest about the risks involved with self-fixing. Finally, I include teardown instructions, as well as how to put it back together.
