Gampad drift (Joy-Con drift) <TAG1> is a problem where the controller's analog drain registers movements even when the player does not touch it. In other words, the character or camera in the game can start moving by itself, although the drain is in a neutral position. This can greatly affect the game's handling and reduce overall comfort.
The reasons for drifting can be different, but the main ones are:
- Wear of contacts or mechanisms runoff due to long-term use.
- Dirt or dust inside the controller, which interfere with the correct operation of the stick.
- Malfunctions in the hardware part controllers that affect the accuracy of reading the position of the drain.
This problem is common among PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch gampads and everyone with analog sticks in general. Repair options may vary depending on the nature of the problem. Perhaps simple cleaning from dirt will help, or perhaps you need to change the components of the joystick.
Personally, I have a problem with drifting on the second gape before PS4 right now. The drains are in a neutral position, but the console constantly registers upward movement. I haven't fixed this problem yet. In the future, I will supplement this post with a personal assistant.
