How to Fix Stick Drift on Your Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
Last updated
Ever found yourself battling an invisible foe that seems to move your game character without your consent? Yes, we’re talking about the infamous stick drift on your Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Let’s dive into how you can tackle this sneaky issue.
Experiencing stick drift means your character or cursor moves without you touching the joystick. It’s like your game has a mind of its own! But don’t worry, we’ve got some tricks up our sleeve to help you fix it.
Quick Fixes for Stick Drift
The first thing to try is recalibrating your controller. This can often reset any minor issues causing the drift. Head over to the System Settings on your Switch, select Controllers and Sensors, and then Calibrate Control Sticks. Just follow the on-screen instructions, and you might just solve your problem in a jiffy.
If recalibration doesn’t do the trick, give your controller a good cleaning. Sometimes, dust and debris can sneak under the joystick, leading to unwanted movements. Use a can of compressed air to gently blow away any dirt. Be cautious not to push the debris further in!
