I found this topic after having my controller keep slowly moving upwards all the time, but thought the idea of just buying a new controller, a bit too excessive.
So I played around with various other options and finally fixed it by moving the stick in different positions and blowing as hard as I could around the ball at the base of the controller stick, to remove any dust etc which may of got inside.
It works perfectly now.
You can use the ps4 web browser to know when it's fixed, by moving the cursor in different directions and then see if it carry's on moving by itself or not
Update: I also found it useful to get a thin piece of card (about 5mm's wide) and slide it down between then start to rotate the controller stick, as this removes other gunk that blowing wont always get rid off.

My right analog stick would move up on its own at random and I tried everything from resetting it, to opening it up to clean all of the contacts and prop up the little squishy bit that presses the plastic circuit to make contact with the circuit board. I spent about three hours trying things, putting the controller back together, trying it out, and starting over. I just found this comment and tried it out, and now it works perfectly
It work's for me,THANKS!
This is stupidly awesome it works lmfao
Bro you are awesome. It works perfectly, THANKS!!!
Working here too...many thanks for this :).
Still, this is so stupid...

Water use isnt advised as it can cause damage to electronics inside, making the issue worse. If you want to try an alternative to a repair service, try spraying compressed air onto the balls of both analogues, this will clean it out and hopefully sort your issue, never use your own breath as it can leave moisture inside, having the same effect as putting water onto it

Is there a potential for it to fix itself if you do use your breath? Maybe it can be dried with compressed air?
Try soaking it in soap then put it in the microwave
Soap and microwave worked for me

Marcelo Marques, that is the sign of a wore out analog controller. You will have to replace it. The controller is available at places like this This will require to unsolder the old one and then resolder the new controller. Hope this helps, good luck.

I remember on the ps3 controllers all you had to do was clean certain contacts inside the controller, is this not possible with dualshock 4? Is replacing the analog stick the only option?
Mine is new and it does it too.
Had the same problem replaced the stick and it's still there, might be a chipset or board problem??
Mine still won't work try what y'all said and still moves on its own
I had the same problem but I guess i had to trick my way through it...lol! When it shifts to the unwanted position calibrate it and make sure no button is pressed during calibration...this is more like making a new setting over the default. Thank me later... cheers

I had the same problem. I opened up my controller and removes the thumb stick. I opened up the green box on the left of the analog stick on the there was some black residue on the contact. I cleaned it out with rubbing alcohol and it works fine now.

Hey i have a little question. How many percent rubbling alcohol did you used actually becaue i have the same problem i really need to know how i will do it myself .
If you want honesty, I was reading this thread while I fixed it, I hammer punched it fairly lightly, it worked, but I could lock the analog stick to the left, I put some water on the left side of the left analog stick's ball, now it works fine!

Using electronic spray cleaner will work. Thanks for asking, Matt of Martins TV Repair!

I'm not sure why these joystick modules dont have dielectric grease inside their housings. It would keep contact on the inside making external particles less of an issue. I opened mine up, blew it out, and put a tiny dab of silicone grease in them. Another fix would be prevention. Wash your hands before use, and stop eating and playing games at the same time! All that worthless crap you put in your bodies as snacks are really screwing up your equipment. Also , try turning down movement sensitivity to compensate until you can't, then buy a new one. Playstation is better than all those other aftermarket hardware makers.

Mine DS4 is brand new and is moving on it's own so it's not about eating and playing
easy answer. manufacturers want you to buy a new one, not fix the one you already paid for:) cheers.
