Thank you for this, I was able to break my controller successfully
yooo wtf I just finished and my shits more broken then before :(
Ya my battery cable broke off and now I have to buy a new controller
The light of my control won’t turn on anymore but I think that’s a positive
Ps:didn’t work for me either
Lmfaoooo
Same 😂
My Stick drift is now more intense then a Fight in dragonball
All i did is opened green one for me its orange took of little disc clewned the inside of green and put back disc and closed green (dont rip it off the green one)
So it’s not that bad.
@carara14 Then ur controller is dead. I think the joy stick wouldnt work
Thank you so much for this. I had a small drift in my controller , was struggling to sprint . Now I can barely navigate my character .
Same
This gives me a ton of confidence
It worked for me with 3 different controllers
U probably put the white sensors in the wrong way, turn them around
@@ejaazhussain2324 i was very careful to put the white things back in facing the same way they were, and my right analog stick is pushing to the left constantly. i have to push it to the right to stop moving. i really hate ps4 controllers, i never had to take apart a ps1, 2, or 3 controller to clean it out, they were apparently designed to keep dust out much better than the modern controllers.
My character doesn’t auto walk anymore, he runs now...thanks
Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
💀💀
Thanks! This video convinced me to go buy new controllers.
Scott Sliter Its not that hard
Arturo Müller Matheu already bought two new ones. 😂🤷♂️
Scott Sliter ok
Lmao same!
Im 11 and did it
Omg thank you bro it’s worse
Yeah I broke it by doing this
I temporarily broke both of them, but went back in and fix the left one, the right one doesn’t drift anymore, but it stays stuck in One Direction
Exactly my controller is worse I should’ve just left it alone 😡
I did not have a drift problem, but at full amplitude of my left stick, I did not get to maximum speed.
I cleaned the forward axis sensor as shown here, and that solved the problem.
Now, the DIY is not for everyone who has not got a minimum of dexterity, and you also need to invest in getting some proper tools too.
I highly recommend you purchase tweezers used by those building models, a set of small headed cruciform screw drivers and a tool to pry open the two shell parts of the controller's body.
All those who ended up with an out of control dual shock have most likely messed up their axial sensors. Either because they did not put the little disc holding the contacts properly, or they have damaged it, or they have not snapped it back in place fully.
I have cleaned the two joysticks both axis, and my controller works perfectly.
The most arduous part is to reconnect the touch pad to the PCB as you have to feed the connect ribbon through the holes.
All the rest is a walk in the park.
😂😂😂 fr fr
This is a great tutorial, I fixed my controller and it feels like a new one once again... I think everyone is just putting the white discs in the wrong way because I had the same problem the first time and then I flipped them around the second time I took my controller apart and everything works so smoothly again (this isn't a sarcastic comment) Just turn the white discs until the joystick works again, after you clean it obviously
so switching the two white things of every stick or turning them 180 degrees. Cuz I need to know.
Lmao that’s how I broke my first one
The ribbon cable?
Switching the "white things" does have a set position they need to be in. There is a metal piece on one side that stick out, that side needs to always be at the top. Also, please do not use finger nail polish remover on your controller. Use actual rubbing alcohol as nail polish remover can damage the sensors themselves
Chris riddle thank you I’ve taken part my controller 7 times and fixed it on the 7th try cus I saw your comment you’ve saved me from buying a new one I love you and I will gladly give you my girlfriend
Thank you! I bought a brand new white DualShock off of Amazon and both analog sticks had drifting right out of the package. (Character would stop walking randomly) now it works as it should, I appreciate your time in making the video
12:55 well.... that was awkward
🤣
When they keep recording after you yell cut lol
Yep
I was about to say the same
He did it again 🤣

I've seen this video enough times to do this flawlessly yet I still find it comforting to come back and watch every time I open my controller. thanks buddy
This worked. Like everyone else says, make sure you put the white disc back in the same way it came out and not upside down. I paid attention when I took mine out and got it back in right the first time. Controller works great. I was able to get rid of the upward drift. Thanks
The funeral of my controller is Tuesday at 15pm. You're NOT invited.

Devid WB bro 15pm? Wut
Just remember to recycle the battery
Curve military time
There was a drift on my analog stick. After watching this video and fixed my controller, I can happily say that the drift is no more there...
...because the analog stick is completely dead
OpossumK LMFAO
OpossumK sameeeeee
What does mean a drift on my analog?
R6 Gameplay when ya analog stick randomly moves
PL8YR oh ok, my problem is when I move my right joystick to the left, the sensitivity is slower than when I move it to the right, is this called a drift too?
Tim, thank you for your tutorial. With your guide, I was able to fix 2 ps4 controllers with drifting issues.
Side note- one of my newer ps4 controllers I ordered directly from Playstation, and when I opened it, the plastic bracket was held together with a screw that was too small. Someone at the factory used a piece of paper as a gasket to secure the small screw. Instead of putting the paper and screw back the way it was, I wrapped dental floss around the screw before installing it. It worked like a charm and was more secure.
Thank you so much! It improved my drift a lot, I don't know what to do to get it perfect but I can now play. I think a lot of people here are joking about the tutorial.
Dang bro I appreciate it. I used to have drift but you fixed that easy as pie! You cant have drift if the stick doesnt work at all! Preesh man.
U gotta take it apart again u put something in upside down or u broke the green part
LMAO
my black and red wires disconnected from the mother board😭 what I do now?
Ight if you don’t mind the rumble on one side of the remote then they are not a big deal
Osvaldo Segura exactly, I even have the soldering equipment to re solder but Cba so imma just leave it 😂
I said my controller was broken, next day youtube recommends this video..... stop reading my thoughts 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
GooeyPanther dude I swear UA-cam reads my thoughts to its scary
Infact your phone does hear what you say keep saying something about bicycles or motorcycles for 10 minutes and refresh or go to chrome and enter a site with ads it will recommend bicycle related stuff. They never address this but it's true
it isn't, it is called "cookies" these track your history in the way of this: after buying a specific game, on average, people buy a new controller after 1 week.
So it sends controller fixing videos/ads to you.
after you bought a controller, it saved your cookie for a few years until it began showing these videos and ads.
@@dolphindrawings9331 I don't buy stuff online I don't have a credit card.
Try to talk about whales while staring at your PC while it's on, go to a news website or somewhere that's plagued by ads and tell me how many whale related ads popped.
It's proven by multiple experiments you can't deny it.
I swear my TV is started to have a power problems ( when I turn it on the red light will start blinking for a several times then goes blue, when I started it again it turns on ) immediately the next day a How to Fix Your TV/Monitor Troubleshooting UA-cam video came to my recommendation 😲
Whoever You Are Out There, STOP BUTT INTO MY LIFE... JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!
it's scary to some degree 😐
So this worked amazing and still does years later just make sure you put the small pieces back in correctly and it should work just as new🤙🏻
Thanks this actually worked... well sort of, my controller used to drift to the left and sometimes up, and it was really irritating but now it only drifts to the left occasionally, much more manageable than it randomly flipping upward
Guys, I will make a video about how to repair an extremely sensitive and tiny piece of technology, but I'll constantly keep my camera out of focus? Okay? good.
I KNOW SO ANNOING😤
Ik right and his camera Angles are trash his hands are in the way like the whole time
Y’all must be dumb just focus on what he says and use visual clues and bam there you go
Hahahahahaha hahahahaha, for sure. I'm with you

My controller is worse then it was before, now my grandma can finally beat me in a game of siege and she’s a jar of ashes
Woah, that’s deep.
Last part was a little aggressive 😳

My character just looks straight up and I can’t get him to look down
Thanks man I went from a mild drift to a full blown fast and furious Tokyo drift my controller does its own thing now
Lmao
thank you so much, I had this controller laying around for so long and i finally decided to fix it. Your advice helped me so much!

@@AngelResells wow...really messed up
its so easy
@@gunmanskelly but everyone is having problems
Thx for the video, watched a lot of videos on drift issue this one by far the best, you saved my controller 😁
Thank u so much! The camera out of focus did not help but i figured out what I couldn’t see and fixed the damn thing. At some point I thought I wouldn’t be able to put it back together, but not only I did, also it WORKED, and the drift’s gone. Super happy!
This worked for me. My controller was just 3 months old and I started noticing the left analog drift while playing COD Warzone. The drift became so annoying, I was so sure I needed to get a new controller, till I watched these videos and followed the steps, now everything is back to normal. Thank you.
Note: after I coupled the controller back, I tested it, and it was worse than the initial state. It was as if the analog was pressed all the way to the left, and I couldn't do anything. Immediately, I opened it up again, and realized I had placed the small white stuff near the analog sensor upside down.... I flipped it the other way, and everything was perfect.
Hope this helps others.
kinda harder with a v2 controller but still works after some patients
pooploser 55 How many patients did it cost you?
@@musikusmaximus an hour or two
Lmaooo literally exactly what happened to me, went down to the comments and found this your a god I was about to toss the controller 😂

@@mohamedabosamra3900 ye
Maybe you didn’t put the sensors in proper
Same
Worked perfectly thank you 🙏. Controller feels brand new with zero drift. Once I figured out which way the little white sensors went in (large radius at top) it worked beautifully. Saved me $85.
I know this is like a 3 year old video but honestly it's the best one for this fix. My left thumbstick is still a little janky, but the improvement is super noticeable. Thank you!
Placed mines back together, the drifting had gotten worst. Guess I'll buy a new controller after this quarantine ends.
Amazon is a thing you know.
Same bruh I was expecting it to be fixed but it got worst.
Quarantine isn’t gonna be over for a while, I’d just go buy another one if I were you
Do you not know what a face mask is?
You lucky. Mine doesnt even work at all now
Alright! Few tips to clear it all up.
First! Be very, very gentle to not snap the green cover of the sensor completely off the motherboard! You will probably damage your controller permanently that way.
Second! Be sure to put the sensor wheel you find inside, the right way up! It's that flatter edge of it, that is supposed to go up! If you turn it the wrong way, the issue will get Much Worse and the controller will become Completely Unusable.
Three! If you did all that correctly, but can't push and snap the green cover back into it's place, see what is causing it. On one side of that green box, there are three small, plastic pieces, that are supposed to snap into their individual holes in the metal plate. The lowest one is probably the one that can't fit. It's a pretty flimsy plastic, so you can probably bend/completely break off the very tip of it. That green tube shape. There is only one per sensor, on one of the sides. If you bend it correctly or break it off (with a small screwdriver or something similar), it should let you put the whole thing back together.
The video did not help me with getting rid of the drift, because one of the sensor wheels is rusted and that's what is causing the problems, in my case. I ordered the part from the internet already.
But still. Thanks for the video explaining how to take the controller apart! Really helped me along the way!
Bro you are a God, thank you so much
I broke the third green tube and it came off easily and the senser cover snapped right back to its place, thank you
Thanx mate.. I had my white things in upside down.. its confusing as it looks like there ment to go in that way. As the bottem of the green thing is flat also
Oh my god, I should have read this!
I did not notice the small legs on the sensor plastic connect!
Welp..
Thank you. It worked
thank you it didn’t completely fix it but it helped a lot definitely deserves a sub 👍
I bought a game console three years ago and less than 6 months later the gamepad started drifting. I suffered for years because I didn't know how to fix it. I lost a lot. I bought a mouse and keyboard. I tried to replace the left shock with the right one. I lost my left shock while doing this and now I was playing with the utmost contempt until I saw this video and did what was taught and it was fixed!! Thank you You taught us this and I got rid of this problem
Video out of focus: “As you can see....” me: 👁👄👁
Heads up for anyone about to do this. Be sure to place those little white pieces back into the sensors EXACTLY how they came out. I accidentally placed on wrong and had to disassemble again because left was up. Also, you don’t have you use alcohol, a drug q tip is just fine, but even then you don’t have to open that sensor box, I just used an air compressor and bossed it.
Thanks you saved my day I thought I broke my controler
No I took it of and I could have used compressed air dnag
There is an easier way of blowing into it with videos on YT . Pullingup on analogs blowing then pushing down blowing around. Then hold L3 and R3 down 30 seconds, Rotate clockwise both 5 times and reverse 5 Times then repeat Holding 30 seconds.
@@dropndeuces82 why hold for 30 seconds though?
@@dropndeuces82 sounds like a cheat code lmao
Holy crap I pulled it off and so far my controller is working like new. I'm about to go run it through it's paces, thanks for the video my man
This video helped a lot and really helped me with my controllers. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Instructions unclear, now my car transmission does the PlayStation sound when i start my car
stop being rude he trye it it worked so he shared it
A Alyan it’s a joke
Transmissions don’t make noise😶
Exunis well actually they kinda do, it’s either they make a hissing sound or reset sound. Kinda weird but either way I agree I guess idk I’m fuckin retarded

Worked perfectly for me. Left stick was drifting up. Now it works like new. Thanks m8
Thanks dude, followed the instructions and drift problem in my kids' controller gone. Never had to do this back in my day - SNES and Megadrive were the best!
Instructions unclear, genitals now stuck in controller...
Still stuck?
@@dappatom3654 yes I listened to the instructions in reverse and freed myself
@@anfonyyyyy personally I would of tried a reverse twist technique
@@dappatom3654 yup u can twist your balls to match the configuration of the controller
@@dappatom3654 hmmm
Pro Tip: If at all possible do NOT pull off those green pieces unless you feel you absolutely need to. The little latches on them are extremely fragile and break easily. Alternatively you can just move the analog stick to the side and blow against where those green pieces are to clean them. I did this and my controller is working great now. Ruined another controller though trying to pull those green pieces off.
nice help mine already tore off😆
@@ykbuttayup gotta buy a new one as well
u saved me from having to buy another one. Appreciate it .
Lmfaoooo I was like these don't just "pop off" tf!??
My controller started with some crazy drift out of the blue, glad I found this vid got my controller working and was able to hit diamond ranked on the last min
Thanks for the help! 😁 Super grateful 🙏 After following through with the tutorial I ended up snapping the motherboard and just throwing it all in the bin. We need more people like you 👍
U have to be gentle with it , i open my controllers n do this all the time .
I followed your guide and the hardest part was opening the green cases. Trying to pry those open was nerve wracking. I had to apply a little bit more force. Really helpful stuff, worked like a charm afterwards. THANK YOU
Should we be taking technical advice from someone that seems to struggle with focusing a camera?
no. i’m stuck wit a broken controller
no
Thank you, I actually figured out I put the sensors the wrong way up, and I corrected it, good tutorial just remember to put the white wire in correctly and the sensors the right way up.
Big Help 👏🏼 Thanks To This Video I Managed To Open The Controller And Clean
Thank you so much man! I started out with mad stick drift in my R3. Now I have mad stick drift and R3 doesnt work at all anymore.
What is that ay broke my controller
Same😔
Worked a treat! I will note, however, that since this video came out (or maybe my controller is weird), the pieces are colored differently. Also my buttons never fell out, so there were less pieces and because of that, it felt easier than the video made it seem.
If you're trying this BE CAREFUL! I recommend taking pictures as you disassemble so that you know whats supposed to happen as you put it back together.
You helped me take my ps4 streaming to console without a capture card, and now you've saved me from buying another PS4 controller.
I just want to say thank you!!!
Bro I’m on the same boat but I’m so scared to open my control - I literally drift only on my left stick especially on fifa. I really have to do this but I don’t want to cause major damage…
This worked perfectly what I did is go 1 step further bought some replacement parts $4 on ali express and just replaced the sensors from new sticks to old no soldering required.
No more left stick drift and my launch ps4 controller is brand new again. Thanks for video!
I feel like I’m building a Kinder Surprise supplied by NASA

This is a 100% working method...its just that most people in the comments lack technical skill.
honesty
Just did it and no more stick drift
Agreed on lacking technical skill, but after doing this repeatedly over the span of two weeks I can definitely say that the problem just comes back after a little while - in my case, at least. I’m thinking of buying new potentiometers at this point...
I’ve failed with controllers a lot of times I guess my controller was being nice and I actually made it work

Thank you i just can’t describe how grateful I am , i thought i needed a new controller but this helped me
Not even joking, it took me about an hour to remove the shells
It's because he's done it before and you haven't. If your pad has never been taken apart before and you aren't certain of what you're doing, it will be more difficult.
First time is always difficult cause you feel like you're gonna break it when opening it lol. If you take your controller apart a lot its much easier than the first time you do it with a new controller or one that hasn't been opened before.
Michael Shirley did it work
Adam McLaughlin did it work
It's pretty much the hardest part when disassembling the controller if you ask me
Trying to help someone else out
At first it didn't work for me, my character just spun around. Then i found that it's important which way you put in those little white sensor things.
If you see on one end of the white sensors, there is small tags/fins those need to face down and the round shape up.

Edit: i just found out that the light cable is also responsible of charging, my controller won’t charge anymore 😭
Lmfao Oh God
The first thing he disconnects is the light on there so if you look at it you should be able to fix it if you still have it

I was have problems with my right analog stick drifting and thought I would need to get a new one. Watch your video and good as new. Thanks a lot.
For anyone trying to pull out the section of where the white disk goes, be gentle with pulling the green part because I wasn't careful and the sauder part that's at the bottom of the green part can detach easily and can cause your controller drift to be worse and unrepairable
Thank you he did not say that and my controller is toast.
Yeup, this happened to me. I was trying to be super careful, but the green part wouldn’t release. I used just a little more force and that’s what happened.
That green part is soldered into the board correct? Atleast mine are on my ps3 controller. I Was afraid to detach those in fear of wrecking the solder joints. I may have to try and solder in a new analog stick if there's no luck cleaning the original.

This completely fixed my problem, I wasn’t having drift but was unable to sprint at all in any game. 10/10 fixed thank you!
Works well for V2 controllers, i feel that V1 controllers have a greater chance at breaking if not handled correctly.
Worked perfectly for me! I don’t deal with drifting anymore. Thanks for the tutorial 😁

UPDATE 2/1/2020 : gave it a go and it worked!
5150gino Ricks UA-cam Channel did a vid on this stuff but you don’t have to take apart the controller, go have a look
When you completely take it apart and realize you don't have rubbing alcohol
You can just try to use cotton sticks and try to take away most of the dirt and liquid.
@@koffekoffein1 but I don’t have that either
@@fbi7515 Try carefully with just some paper?
Yo u can do it with deodorant cuz it has a bit of alcohol in there
I used cologne it worked perfect
Tried this on a newer controller and it worked! Although the assembly (and colors) of the pieces inside seemed to be a little bit different from the model of your video, the most difficult step was to actually open the controller 😆 Thank you!
Tks, there are many crappy videos that try to tell you its possible to fix this without opening the controller (aka blow here, move the stick x time, etc). Once you see those sensors and what you have to clean, it kinda feels silly to think they can be cleaned that way... Your video did help to do the real cleaning without breaking anything.
For all y’all who said it made it worse it made mine worse too, but when you remove the sensor to clean it, take out the white part and clean that by itself and when I put it back I was fckn surprised at how brand new it was no drift at all bro thank u you a real one🙏🏽
How did you clean it? Mine is a bit black. Probably dirt
@@Nathan-pe9hx I opened up the sensors on the inside of the joysticks and made sure to dry them off eventually it did end up working you just have to be very clean and make sure to get everything , dry everything off when youre done.
Hey man I’m having the same problem, I don’t know if it has something to do with putting it back or what? Did you just make sure everything was very dry or am I putting it back wrong. I could really use your help thanks 👍

Eduardo zapata dude I can’t close the upper two green case thing( in which the wight ring goes)
B3RED make sure you opened it properly. It does take a bit of pressure to close tho just be careful. I found that pushing the sides of it instead of the top allowed it to close easier. It also won’t close if you haven’t aligned the white sensors properly
B3RED were you able to get it to close I can’t figure out how
Da penguin what do you need help with?
Fixed it !! Thank you so much ☺️
For everyone else, just be careful when trying to open the green plastic thing on the analog, since it’s soldered to the board, moving it too fast or too much can bend or damage the connection to the board
I took a chance and it was a success! Two of my DualShock 4 controllers have no analog drift! Thanks for the video my man!
Thank you for the excellent video and walkthrough my problem is solved. I will request you to make one more if possible especially while connecting back the touch pad. For me that was very tricky. But thanks a lot, you saved me money and taught me something new.
Extremely helpful video, your instructions were so clear, and the video was decent. Probably one of the best videos out there to show you how to get rid of sticks way or drift whatever. I did this to all three of my controllers and now they all work great! Two of my controllers got stick drift so I went and bought another one, the brand new controller I bought got stick drift within a week. So now I have three working controllers, thank you.
thank you so much it took me a hour but it’s finally back to normal
Honestly, this was probably the best tutorial out there. I successfully managed to break my sensors and have now wasted $50 dollars on a brand new controller. Preciate the love!
That's your own fault I've done this a few times with no problem, also why with a brand new controller? Should have just taken it back before you voided the warranty.
@@yup7495 nah it was an old controller cuhhh. i had to go get a new one after i discombobulated the old one.
@@bennettjacob2641 yeah still your fault you couldn't take it apart and put it back together withought breaking it
Brilliant mate, this did 100% fix my drift, controller works like new. Just gotta be careful, take your time, and have some technical ability.
Great video wish I would’ve watched this before taking apart my controller now the shell is snapped. 👍😄
Thank you, you saved my day! This method works perfectly. Thank you again!
amazing video bro, it was highly descriptive and informational, i definitely just learned how to completely mess up my sticks off of a slight drift!
