Controller Stick Drift 1 story
Controller Stick Drift keeps one recurring Game Controllers problem separate from broader reliability or performance questions, making diagnosis more precise. Coverage concentrates on unwanted analog input when the control should be centered, using analog stick drift, joystick center drift, and unwanted stick input to examine deadzone behavior, sensor wear, calibration, axis jitter, and repeatable off-center readings. The scope stops short of button or trigger faults that affect different input mechanisms. The aim is to help readers narrow the cause, choose a sensible next check, and verify that the symptom is actually resolved.
