A game console controller may be mistakenly recognized as being input even though the stick is not tilted, this is called stick drift. In Nintendo's game console, the Nintendo Switch, ``Joy -Con drift'', in which the dedicated controller Joy-Con stick moves on its own, has become a major problem, leading to a class action lawsuit. Stick drift has been reported not only on the Nintendo Switch, but also on the original wireless controller for Xbox , and there is a good chance that it will also occur with the stick of a PlayStation Portal remote player.

If stick drift occurs, it is necessary to clean or replace the parts of the stick, but in the PlayStation Portal remote player, the parts of the stick are compatible with the DualSense wireless controller , which is a dedicated controller for PS5, or the Joy-Con of Nintendo Switch. iFixit points out that it is much more accessible than other controllers such as Steam Deck and Steam Deck, making it relatively easy to repair. For example, in the case of the DualSense wireless controller, the stick part is soldered to the motherboard, so if you want to replace or repair it, you will need to remove the solder.
