Free controller diagnostic tool
Check your PS5, Xbox or PC controller for unwanted analog stick movement. Connect your controller, move both sticks once, release them and run the resting test.
Connect your controller, move both analog sticks once, then release them completely. The stick drift test checks whether the controller keeps sending unwanted movement while the sticks are resting.
Stick drift can happen when analog input becomes unstable or the joystick no longer returns accurately to centre. This can affect aiming, movement, menus and camera control in games.
DriftAline helps reduce unwanted analog stick movement using controller calibration, input smoothing and centre correction tools on supported controllers.
Controller drift guide
Use your result to see whether your controller is stable or sending unwanted input while the sticks are resting.
Your stick is returning close to centre. If movement still happens in-game, the issue may be game settings or sensitivity.
Your controller is sending small resting input. DriftAline can help reduce this using calibration, input smoothing and centre correction.
Your controller is sending stronger unwanted input. DriftAline can help reduce the impact before you decide whether replacement is needed.
Next step
DriftAline helps smooth unstable input, improve centre accuracy and reduce unwanted analog movement on supported controllers.
Yes. Connect your controller and use the tester above to check unwanted analog stick movement.
Yes. DriftAline can help reduce light drift, centre-point offset and unstable input using calibration and input smoothing.
Stick drift can come from centre-point offset, unstable analog input, dirt, wear or hardware issues inside the joystick module.
Many PS5, Xbox and PC controllers work when connected by USB or Bluetooth in a supported browser.
