I would suggest taking off the black part of the controller with a prying tool like that, and hold the joystick in the opposite direction, where you blow decently hard into the space in the joycon. None of the things you said to do worked for me, all they did was minimize the effect untill I pressed down on my joycon and it came back again. I knew it wasn’t a software glitch because I restarted my controller twice by sticking a flathead screwdriver or a toothpick down the little circular hole on the back of the controller and pressed a button down there for 5 seconds. So yea it’s fixed now so I’m happy.

Right lol
All right I just have to comment. I'm an electronic repair technician who specializes on video game consoles. I've not yet messed with a ps5 controller because based on the ps4 dualshocks, I know replacing those joysticks can be a pain. I was going to take a crack at it though so I start here. Chad says pull the stick back and blow in it. I roll my eyes, yea sure but okay. I'll try all the steps in order until I get to the solution I 'know' is going to be required (Joystick replacement). So I blow in the thing and holy shit it works. I'm like no way. I intentionally start trying to cause the original issue again. Rocking the stick violently. Pressing on it harder than should be pressed on it. No drift. I'm literally sitting here stunned and dumbfounded. Thanks, a lot for the vid man!
I just want everyone to Remember that stick drift across all consoles wouldn’t be that common if the manufacturers didn’t go for the cheaper joystick options

So did mine! for now anyways!
I dropped a little (not a lot) isopropyl alcohol on the "ball" part of the stick while the stick was held to the either side. Then move the stick around in a circle and mixing up the direction of your rotations every 4 or 5 rotations or so (or to your liking). I had to do this a couple times before it was fixed, allowing the alcohol sufficient time to evaporate before starting a new "set of rotations".

@zeldadude3 when your analogue gives inputs which are different to the ones you gave. The most common example is when you push all the way forward but the controller registers that as you pushing half way forward and jittering up and down.

This actually worked. I mean, these methods do sound a bit random, it was probably a spec of dust somewhere in the analog stick, but I guess they were able to shake it up somehow!
I couldn't get a small gap but blowing air in 8 points around my left joy stick, it worked! Good stuff! Thanks. Controller is just over a month old.

I've had my ps4 controller for about 6 years and it still works like it did when i first bought it. Its a black and blue one made by Sony Playstation. Im thinking about getting a ps5, I purposely waited a few year after the release for a few reasons. They say you should wait for about 3 years before getting the new gen consoles, not only for the price to drop but so that most if the bugs will be worked out of the systems, they always rush to make release deadlines and the systems usually aren't finished
