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.

    What I wanted to know is if anyone else managed to totally get rid of stick drift with opening the dual sense like this.

    I’ve already opened my ps3 controller for some random button pressing back in the day, but I would only do it if you can really get rid of the problem that way.
