Why a joystick starts to drift
Drift affects every controller whose sticks read their position with potentiometers, PS5 and Xbox ones included. Here, in twenty seconds, is what I check when I open a controller.

Why it’s worth it
Why repair rather than replace
Standard joysticks wear out: their tracks rub and end up sending false movements. Hall effect modules work with a magnet, with no friction: they don’t drift.
Who it’s for
- FPS players: drifting aim means a lost round
- Parents: a new controller costs much more
- Premium controllers to restore
