Hall Effect Joysticks seem to work a lot better: check out new video for all the details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrjKbw-F6zU&t=1s

I think the companies know exactly what they are doing. This wasn't a big issue a few console generations ago.
-
Had my PS5 for 2 months and my left stick strafes left. My ps3 & ps4 controllers lasted for YEARS without issue and survived tons of abuse 😂
-
Had a massive left stick drift, managed to clean everything and it f*** worked, lets go man you're a G
-
this should be a class action lawsuit
-
One of the best repair videos. Short, clear and on topic. Thanks!
-
This is actually a really good solution I tried it some years ago because I didn't want to replace the whole analog sticks so out of desperation I accidentally did what this guy did and it worked again.
-
This is a LEGIT channel. Ive seen countless videos parroting the nonsense you pointed out in the beginning. Also you have a link where to buy the parts. A+ Sir. 10/10!
-
extremely underrated video production quality. i hope your channel gains more traction and grows because you deserve it.
-
i've got 3 controllers 3- 5 years old, no drift, i bought a new sony official controller, after 1 month i get serious drift, it can't be just wear and tear.
-
By far the best method. I’ve been fixing drift like this for Xbox 360, PS4, and now PS5. As result I have numerous Frankenstein controllers with different parts from different controllers
-
Extremely clear breakdown, helped me identify the problem behind the stick drift. The one downside is it seems to be an inevitability that the potentiometers will wear out/ burn out with time and use, forcing you to replace, if you know how.
-
6:52 you can actually see a tiny piece of the piece falling off there, so that could be what was causing the drift as well. Thank you for explaining it so well and taking the effort of zooming in on the close ups. Keep the good work!
-
Dude, I've been cleaning the wrong one because I didn't know the bottom was for left and right. You're the first vid I've found that explains them. Groovy
-
Finally, someone who gets to the point with the real method of fixing/reconditioning the controller. Thanks!
-
Good job sourcing the video of the pot. I couldn't find anywhere else showing exactly what the wiper should look like until I clicked on this video. Mine were bent and the video shows they should be flat. Just cleaning the left pot helped fix mine but I learned something anyways.
-
This video was incredibly helpful! I’ve watched multiple different ones to try and fix my drift issues on two controllers, and so far this has been the only one that actually clearly explains what causes it! I finally understand and will be taking a second attempt at fixing the remaining drift on one. Thank you so much!
-
In addition to the actual content being very useful, the production and editing of this video was excellent! Keep up the good work!
-
I did this to a ps4 controller I used to have, super simple it just takes a bit of patience and the right tools 👌🏻
-
What a man saved me so much money by watching this video and for once a title that’s NOT clickbait. Much appreciated 🙌🏼
