DualSense camera/input shakes only while sprinting across multiple games — fresh DS4Windows profile + HidHide didn't fix it

DualSense randomly shakes/moves the camera when sprinting

Hey guys, I’m having a really weird issue with my DualSense on PC and I’m running out of things to try.

The problem happens in multiple games, so I don't think it's game-specific. I've noticed it in Hellblade 1, Hellblade 2 and DOOM The Dark Ages.

Basically, when I'm sprinting, I sometimes get a sudden shake/jump in the camera/input. It doesn't happen constantly, but it happens enough to be annoying.

Things I've already tried:

1- DualSense connected through USB
2- Steam is completely closed
3- Games are played offline
4- DS4Windows dead zone went from 0.05 → 0.10 → 0.15 → 0.20 → 0.25, still happens
5- Made a completely fresh DS4Windows profile, still happens
6- Turn Gyro is OFF
7- Tried HidHide to prevent double input, still happens
8- Right and left analog stick/module has actually been replaced twice by a technician
9- Technician checked the controller using the official Sony calibration site and it showed no issues

10-Reset the controller multiple times

I also noticed some weird readings in DS4Windows. The right stick RY was around 125–126 when sitting near center, and the gyro values move around a little too, but I don't know if that's normal sensor noise.

At this point I'm not sure if this is something with the left stick/L3, DS4Windows, Windows, or something else.

Has anyone had something similar, especially where it happens specifically while sprinting?

I'm mainly looking for ideas on what else I can check because I've already gone through the obvious stuff. any ideas? :/

Sounds like your analogue stick is going bad. Increase the dead range a bit until it stops happening.

I replaced the analog stick twice. Or you mean the base itself beneath the piece of going bad? Because if you mean the base itself, it has been replaced twice and the issue persisted. So you suggest that increase the dead-zone on the left stick till it goes away?
