In the menu the cursor slides to the left on its own, or the camera in a game keeps turning while you are not touching the stick. That is stick drift: the stick reports a movement that is not there. On a PS5 controller it is a known wear problem, which mostly appears after many hours of play.
FIXNOW repairs stick drift on the DualSense, the DualSense Edge and the DualShock 4. There is also a repair for the PlayStation Portal. In the shops in Antwerp and Wolvertem, a diagnosis comes first, in which we check whether the stick really is the culprit. After that, you compare the two options and hear the price before the work begins. Unable to come by? Then you ship the controller yourself and follow the parcel via track & trace.
Some repairs come in several versions. Choose below which one fits your device — the price per model is further down.
from €39
Best for: One stick drifts: the camera or character moves on its own, even when you are not touching the stick.
from €79
Best for: The stick drifts and you want a fix that lasts longer than a regular stick.

Price per model
PlayStation Portal (2023)from €59
DualSense Edge (PS5 controller)from €59
DualSense (PS5 controller)from €49
DualShock 4 (PS4 controller)from €39By default we replace only the stick that drifts. On the DualSense and the DualShock 4 the sticks are soldered to the motherboard, so the stick module is desoldered and replaced. The DualSense Edge works with swappable stick modules.
If you choose TMR sticks, we replace both sticks. They use the Hall effect principle: a sensor reads a magnet. They have no sliding contact that wears, as a classic stick does, so they last much longer.
What each variant costs, you can find per model in the list on this page.
We check whether the stick is the cause, and not the software or a game.
You decide between a single stick and TMR sticks and hear the price before the work begins.
After soldering, we test both sticks, in the menu and in a game.
In the standard repair, only the stick that drifts gets a new one. With TMR sticks we replace both, and they do not wear in the same way because they work without a sliding contact.
The sliding contact in a classic stick wears over time. As a result, the stick reports a position that is not there.
Yes. The DualSense Edge has swappable stick modules and, just like the DualSense, can get one new stick or TMR sticks on both sides.
No, the PlayStation Portal gets the one-stick variant. TMR sticks are available for the DualSense, the DualSense Edge and the DualShock 4.
Yes, the sticks of the DualShock 4 are soldered to the motherboard and can be replaced. Here too you may choose between the one stick and TMR sticks for both.
A new classic stick wears again over time. TMR sticks do not have that sliding contact and last much longer.
