    my limited-edition DualSense is about about eighteen months old and now teh cursor never stops moving. i made a quick test screen to check, and this is what teh left stick does when Im not even touching it:

    Controller test

    Controller test
Release both sticks. Both dots should rest in the centre.
Left stick    X  0.18   Y -0.26
Right stick   X  0.00   Y  0.01

    Its not huge, but in shooters its enough to throw off my aim, and in menus its maddening 🤦 Ive tried blowing into it, which i know is not ideal. Is drift fixable, or is it time for a new controller? pls help 🙏

    does the drift show up in every game, or just some? ??

    been there man update the controller first: on teh console go to Settings > Accessories > Controllers (General) > Wireless Controller Device Software with the controller connecetd by USB. firmware wont fix worn hardware, but it rules out software.

    @voxelshed Sent it in under warranty with the test video and got a replacement limited-edition DualSense. Painless. Thanks for the tip about recording it.
