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

[@---jj9lf]

[@chrisriddle5248]

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

[@fortnitejesus2108]

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.

[@zhwzh_]

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.

[@josephandry7682]

[@mrunkown5403]

[@King_Jarvus]

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

[@RaverGhoul]

Exactly my controller is worse I should’ve just left it alone 😡

[@p6x2]

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.

[@kaukui]

Worked for me, thanks!. The 2 white sensors in each of the green analogue bits can also be cleaned (carefully) and when you look at them closely you'll see they have exposed coils on them with one side raised. When putting them back in the green bits, make sure the raised part of the coil is pointing up/outwards with the exposed coils going in to the green bits. Be very careful with the green bits when opening, as they have easy to break clips on each side. When closing them back up, squeeze them shut from the bottom and clip them back in, so they are flush

[@alesandro1268]

Thank you bro , you just saved me 60 €! I did everything but it didn't function at the end , I saw your comment and did what you said about the position of small sensors , put it all together now it's working like new! I can't thank you enough bro , much love ❤

@@ginjopowder keep doing it until they're lined up. I used a small jewellery screwdriver. Drop the sensor in the green housing bit (exposed coil going in to the green housing, with the raised part of the coil pointing outwards/ upwards) and use the screwdriver in the slot on the white sensor to turn it to line up with the tab on the sticks.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Thanks, very detailed steps and right to the point, I was able to fix my controller which had drift on both analog sticks. And people, if you are not use to work with tiny electronics parts, please be extra careful, don't rush through the steps, take your time and use the appropriate tools. You don't need previous experience doing this kind of stuff but if you are not confident enough ask for someone to help you or send your controller to a professional.

[@that_one_spectre]

I accidentally brute forced on closing up on the left joystick, and now it's constantly pressed down and I have *serious* resistance moving it up and down

[@dart4116]

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!

[@prettyboyjay7796]

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🙏🏽

[@Nathan-pe9hx]

How did you clean it? Mine is a bit black. Probably dirt

[@prettyboyjay7796]

@@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.

[@weblabrador]

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 👍

[@prettyboyjay7796]

@@weblabrador Pay very close attention to how the sensors were before you took them out and make sure you just don’t damage anything

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

[@adammclaughlin845]

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.

[@michaelshirley5817]

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.

[@animeodin4755]

THANK YOU! My gold controller has been drifting for weeks and I had no idea what went wrong or how to fix it even though I've taken it apart before. This fixed it right away!

[@MrDizzbizz]

This worked great! It took me a lot of q tips to finally get a clean one after rubbing the connectors. I also soaked the little white things in alcohol while I was cleaning. Fixed both of my controllers!

[@apfton]

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.

[@fortniteclips3543]

Well i read the comments they were very negative but i took the risk, it worked!! Yes it fixed my drift and it’s awesome but the blue light in the back of the controller doesn’t light up anymore, I think i broke the first cable that you remove when you take the controller apart, sucks but at least i can play now, was gonna pay 20$ for fixing it, thank you mr youtuber. Edit: i just found out that the light cable is also responsible of charging, my controller won’t charge anymore 😭

[@taylorredfox4698]

Lmfao Oh God

[@bradenbaker4776]

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

It works man amazing!!!!!!!! I had trouble on 2 controllers. one drifting the other one the L3 had to be pressed with excess force. I was able to fix both just by removing the white little things, cleaning blowing and putting them back together. Amazing thanks! You saved me hours of frustration. no need to change the entire joystick component like I had in mind, I even ordered those from amazon and did not have to use them. I am so happy and proud to have saved two contollers and have them like new now. Thanks bro!!!!! :)

You are a godsend, thank you so much! I took the little white sensors out, cleaned everything up, and swapped what sides they were on for good measure (I'd rather my camera controls be buggy instead of movement controls, in case it was a defect with the actual sensor piece). Thought for sure I had busted everything but once it was back together everything worked perfectly, both controls. Saved me $50 lol

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.
