Controller drift can be fixed with the help of software in the following ways:
- Update firmware: The controller’s firmware can be updated.
- Adjust deadzone: To handle small movements, controllers feature a ‘deadzone’ around the thumbstick that is controlled by software. The deadzone can be found in the controller's settings.
- Check for system updates: Update the system as minor software issues can lead to controller drift.
- Reset the controller: Drift can be fixed by resetting the controller as it forces the controller to reconnect to the console.
