Why is it moving on its own? Quick fix for PS5, Xbox stick drift
Stick drift, in which a character moves or the screen turns without input, continues to occur repeatedly in game controllers. In some cases, simple cleaning can ease symptoms, but users are advised to check whether the warranty remains and to consider maker repair or replacement first. The issue has been frequently raised for Sony\'s PS5 DualSense and Microsoft\'s Xbox Wireless Controller. Hall effect sticks are cited as an alternative, but are not used in those controllers.
