After many hours of play, that track wears down or gets dirty, the centre reading shifts and the controller sends movement even when you aren&#8217;t touching the stick. It is the most common cause of stick drift, and a restart or an update won&#8217;t fix it.<\/p>\n<p>Before you bring it in, check it: connect the controller to your computer or phone and open our <a href=\"https:\/\/tigernicks.com\/en\/controller-tester\/\">online controller test<\/a>. It measures in 3 seconds how much the sticks move on their own.
