This problem, which causes the character to move without the user interacting with the controller, is common on Nintendo Switch.
The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con have gained an infamous fame due to a problem that has occurred since their launch in 2017. The drift (deflection) moves the character automatically, without the player exerting pressure on the respective stick. The Japanese company has acknowledged the problem and has even apologized from its president, Shuntaro Furukawa. What nobody saw coming is that the PS5 DualSense would suffer a similar problem, or at least that is what the players denounce.
The information, published by Kotaku, collects the testimonies of some of these players. One user discovered the problem just 10 days after receiving his console. According to his words, he tried several methods to fix it: turn bluetooth off and on, restart the controller, fully charge it … but none of that worked. Another person with the same error posted a video on Reddit showing a serious case of drift. Without your fingers touching the sticks while playing Destiny 2, the character continually spins.

Well-known industry analyst Daniel Ahmad has retweeted Kotaku’s piece and reported that something similar happened to him. “This has happened to my DualSense remote,” he says in his message. “It keeps drifting to the left.”
This happened to my PS5 controller.
It kept drifting left and now it won’t stop going on about Medicare for all and free college. https://t.co/QKKcoTsTWj

Repair is covered by warranty
The solution is not simple: the North American media has contacted customer service and has commented that it has been received with a good number of pre-recorded messages. Of course, with the soundtrack of The Last of Us in the background. “I had to listen to it for 17 minutes,” the journalist wrote. Despite this, in the end he has been able to contact a person of flesh and blood, who has confirmed that the arrangement is within the guarantee. Even so, the sending of the command is the responsibility of the customer.
PlayStation 5 went on sale on November 19 in Spain, although today it is practically impossible to acquire it due to lack of stock.
