Resetting a PS5 controller can also help eliminate stick drift. After you switch off your DualSense, turn it over and locate the small reset pinhole on its rear. Though stick drift is mostly caused by hardware problems, software issues can also wreak havoc with your gamepad's inputs. For those of you who own Sony's ultra-expensive DualSense Edge, you have an additional option to banish stick drift (though sadly it's not free). Each stick has a metallic release latch that can be pulled up to allow you to slide a faulty stick out.
