PHANTOM DUST PC CONTROLS PS4
I've noticed recently that it's just started to do it on the PS4 too.įrom having repaired these things in the past, a common issue is that dust and plastic crap gets in the sensors and you can either open the joypad up and clean it out using an air can or brush, or leave the thing closed up, and simply put your mouth over the joystick in question (so that your lips seal around the surround of the joystick and blow hard. I have an old DS4 that jitters and the reason is simple - wear.
PHANTOM DUST PC CONTROLS HOW TO
If it is, however, I will update the thread.Īny advice on how to address this issue would be deeply appreciated, as it is an especially irritating problem and one I would be very happy to put to bed once and for all. I intend to replace the USB cable today to see if that is the problem, though I strongly suspect that the cable is not the culprit here.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is replacing the USB cable that connects the wireless remotes to see if that is the issue, but I suspect the issue is not the cable and something fundamental to how Steam is reading the remotes. Restarting Destiny 2 appears to alleviate symptoms temporarily, but they always return given enough time.

This issue has persisted across two separate controllers, controllers which perform fine when used on a regular Playstation 4 and are fairly new (the one I am using currently is ~3-5 weeks old). I have tried increasing dead-zones in order to attempt to remove the problem, but it seems that the phantom input is either just large enough to escape any deadzone I set (sometimes it feels as if the deadzone is being ignored) or it is overwhelmingly large kicks to the side. When the Controller HUD is toggled on, it is an extremely visible phenomenon that usually occurs after I have moved a stick (especially so on the right stick), as if it's an extremely strong response action. The phantom input is present on both the left and right control sticks, and is a spontaneous jitter. It is most notable when playing Destiny 2, but I am uncertain if this is exclusive behavior (i.e., it only happens in Destiny 2) or if I notice it most acutely there because it is what I play most often for the longest periods of time. I have been having a reoccuring issue with a USB-connected Dualshock 4 Playstation remote (these are wireless capable) inside of Steam games.
