Hey everyone!

One of my controllers is really starting to have some stickdrift on the left joystick.

I’ve tried that solution and it seems to temporarily work: https://youtu.be/cU26TxHOkSU?si=ZBj_lerD0m1jomch

If it keeps coming back, I might try this solution which involves opening the controller : https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/Comment+réparer+une+manette+PlayStation+Dualsense+V1+qui+drifte/168202

Apparently, both of these solutions can’t be considered as long term fixes and I was wondering if someone managed to find a long term solution.

I would hate buying a new controller as I love repairing stuff, but I’d be interested to know if there is a more reliable/repairable controller with all the Dual Sense functionalities out there.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Edit: I’ve opened my controller and cleaned the potentiometer with alcohol and it didn’t work. I’m gonna try again tomorrow and take more time to examine the potential causes.

    I’ve got drift as well. Don’t have any solutions, but I have heard that hall effect replacements are the way to go. Not sure if GuliKit is making them yet, worth a look
