PS5 Dualsense stick drift

[tommy97]

Hi,

I’ve been dealing with some stick drift issues on PS5 DualSense controllers. I’ve replaced the analogs on 4 different controllers using parts from 3 different suppliers (Mobile Sentrix and some from eBay), but I’m still getting slight drift, around 0.01 to 0.05 — only noticeable when zoomed in on the DualSense test GUI.


Anyone else had this happen even after replacing the sticks? Not sure if it’s the parts, or fault with the controller, or just how sensitive these are. Would really appreciate any tips or suggestions!

Drift of this scale should be easily covered up by a small deadzone, plenty of games don't even let you go below 5%. You can look into TMR sticks that should be more resistant to drift that resembles PODE if you want to get rid of one of the kinds of drift these can develop.

A slight offset error can be expected.
But why not use hall effect sensors?
I never experienced any drift anymore with those.
Even on Amazon they are just a few dollars.

Any potentiometer stick will inevitably drift.
