10 Ways to Fix Drift on Switch Pro Controller (How to Repair Analog Stick)

Рет қаралды 140,854

Күн бұрын

QUICK AND TO THE POINT. The pro controller can experience stick drift when one or more of the analog sticks have problems, causing characters in games to move on their own. How to fix depends on the issue: calibrating, cleaning, alcohol, vacuuming, blowing, canned air, contact cleaner. Disassembly is needed for tougher problems.

I can't believe the way to fix my controller was to just hit it a couple times. Glad to see the best solution to problems is still usually physical violence.

Had my controller for about 5 years, when I opened it up it was pretty clean. I used a small long flat head screw driver , alcohol and Q tips, went as far as opening the doors ,taking the discs out , brushing and assembled . I did not use any paper though and it works great now , impressed , thank you.

@@HowToXHello, I know this is an old video but what kind of glue would you recommend if I removed the soft parts for under the buttons? I removed them thinking that I could clean them, I did clean them but now it's a hassle to put the soft pieces back on without them falling off and or not being in place properly

I may end up having to try one of these methods. My Pro Controller (which I bought about a year after I bought my first Switch) just started to drift. The irony is that I bought it because the Joy-Cons were drifting. But I did manage to replace the joysticks on those, so in the meantime, I can always use those in the event that I need to replace the joysticks on my Pro Controller.

I bought a refurbished Switch afterglow controller. Turns out it was drifting and the seller sent me a refund and told me to keep it. I had nothing to lose, so I disassemled it (it's clear it had never been opened) and lifted up the small metal part of the disc inside the little box. It fixed the issue, thank you very much!!! :)
