Disclaimers

This is not guaranteed not fix stick drift. If your controller's thumbstick mechanisms are too old or too worn down, you most likely should have them replaced instead of using this tool. This tool can only move values to a better position; it cannot bring a physically broken mech back from the dead.

Battle Beaver is not responsible for any damage or unintended outcomes to modifying your controller with this tool. 

 

How to Get Started Using the Tool

  1. Navigate to the DualShock Calibration GUI: https://dualshock-tools.github.io/#
  2. Connect your controller to your PC via USB cable.
  3. Click "Connect"
  4. Select your controller, then click "Connect"
  5. With your controller now connected, click "Calibrate stick center"
  6. Read everything in the pop-up window and then check the box labeled "Write changes permanently in the controller," then click Start. (NOTE: If this is your first time using the tool DO NOT check this box. Test that it works first, please.)
  7. Finally, follow the step-by-step instructions until the thumbsticks have been recalibrated.
  8. PLEASE BE SURE TO READ EACH INSTRUCTION AND FOLLOW IT ACCORDINGLY.

You can repeat this process multiple times until the issue is resolved, but if it takes more than a few tries, the thumbsticks mechanism(s) might need to be replaced or physically repaired. 

 

FAQ

When should I use this tool?

  • When your controller is new or relatively new but exhibiting stick drift.
  • When you are experiencing stick drift at or below default deadzone settings in-game.
    • If your Battle Beaver controller is experiencing stick drift above default deadzone settings using this calibration tool may fix the issue, but it may also require a physical mech replacement in the event that the drift is occurring due to a physical defect or damage. You can have that done using our Service Center.

Can I use this with a non-Battle Beaver controller?

Yes. However, we have only verified this tool with stock controllers and our controllers, which are modified stock controllers.

We cannot verify it will work with other companies' modified stock controllers or 3rd party PS4/5 controllers, so if you are using this tool with controllers other than a stock or Battle Beaver controller do so at your own risk. 

Can I use this for Xbox controllers?

No. Currently this tool is only usable for PS4 and PS5 controllers.

Will non-PS4/5 controllers be supported in the future?

The developer is working on adding the support of the following controllers in the future, but there is not an exact date on when that will be:

  • DualSense Edge
  • DualShock 3
  • Xbox Controllers

Is this tool developed by or professionally associated with Battle Beaver?

No. But we really like it and if you also really like it, then we encourage you to support its creator here.
