Test PS5 stick drift.
Then recalibrate.

Test a standard DualSense, recalibrate a correctable center or range offset, and compare the result before you save it.

When does calibration fix drift?

Desktop Chrome or Edge · USB cable required

Connecting starts a read-only drift test. Calibration and saving are separate choices.

Stick drift FAQ

How do I test a DualSense for stick drift?

On a desktop in Chrome or Edge, connect a standard DualSense with a USB data cable and choose Connect DualSense. Leave both sticks untouched while the automatic test samples them. It reports each stick's resting offset and noise; run the precision test before and after calibration to compare the result.

What causes PS5 stick drift?

Stick drift appears when a stick's neutral signal is off-center or unstable. Possible causes include a stored calibration offset, worn or dirty potentiometers, and mechanical centering problems. Calibration can correct a stable offset, but it cannot repair physical wear.

Can calibration permanently fix stick drift?

It can make a correction persist when the cause is a stable calibration offset and you choose Write to memory. It cannot guarantee a permanent repair or fix worn, dirty or damaged hardware. Compare the drift and precision tests before and after calibration; if the signal stays noisy or off-center, the controller may need service.

Is it safe for my controller?

The drift and precision tests are read-only. Calibration changes controller values. With memory confirmed locked, the change is not saved until you choose Write to memory. Whether powering off discards an unsaved change has not yet been confirmed on hardware. If memory state is unknown, changes may not be temporary. This is an unofficial tool: review the result and the memory warning before saving.

Why do I need a USB cable and Chrome or Edge?

The controller's calibration commands are only reliable over USB, and the WebHID technology used to talk to it is available in Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge). Safari and Firefox do not support WebHID.

Does it work with DualSense Edge or DualShock 4?

No. Only the standard PS5 DualSense is supported.

Is it really free?

Yes. Free and open source under the MIT License, with no account or ads. Sharing is enabled by default, but nothing is uploaded until you answer the first-launch notice. You can turn it off there or in the footer.
