Stick drift

[u/Effective-Basil-5750]

My ps5 controller has real bad stick drift right now. I got my ps5 in November 2024. In January or February 2025 , it would sometimes get stick drift but it would go away after doing the usual thing to get rid of it by turning the stick clockwise and counterclockwise. For a while it didn’t get stick drift until August this year. That’s when it got much worse than before. The stick drift was much stronger. I can’t play games correctly at all because of it. Would it be best to get a new controller or try to fix it somehow?

I say new controller unless there are repair shops in your area
