DriftGuard: Gamepad Maintenance Tool

DriftGuard is a gamepad calibration and controller diagnostics tool for Android. Connect your supported PlayStation or Xbox controller via USB, test analog stick movement in real time, detect stick drift, and use calibration tools designed to reduce light controller drift and improve precision.

Use DriftGuard to check analog stick accuracy, monitor dead zones, diagnose irregular input behavior, and calibrate supported controllers after analog stick replacement or Hall effect sensor installation.

Supported Controllers

DriftGuard supports permanent calibration for original PlayStation controllers, including DualShock 3, DualShock 4, DualSense, DualSense Edge, PSVR2 controllers, and Access controllers.

DriftGuard also supports Xbox controllers, including Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One S/X, Xbox Series S/X, Xbox Elite V1/V2, and Scuf Instinct Pro.

Compatibility with third-party, modified, or counterfeit controllers is not guaranteed.

Key Features

• Real-time analog stick diagnostics
• Stick drift detection and analysis
• Gamepad calibration for supported controllers
• Permanent controller calibration where supported
• Hall effect sensor calibration support
• Interactive stick movement visuals
• Event logging for diagnostics and calibration changes
• Simple USB controller detection on Android

Important Notice

Stick drift is often caused by worn mechanical parts inside the analog stick module. DriftGuard can help reduce or eliminate light stick drift in supported controllers, but severe drift may still require analog stick repair or replacement.

Calibration features are experimental and should be used carefully. Follow the on-screen instructions and make sure your controller is fully charged before starting calibration.

Ratings and reviews

The app itself is very helpful to fix stick drift either temporary or permanently, it's not very hard to use on how to calibrate your controller, in fact it's very easy to do just by using USB-C to USB-C or whatever your phone port is, it might not he better than a PC but it is great for ones who don't have a computer or laptop, it helped me today to calibrate the problem, I'd recommend this app for those who are having stick drift right now.

did absolutely nothing, just went to a blank page after connecting controller..

The app is fully legitimate and functions as designed. However, its effectiveness depends entirely on the condition of the hardware. If the PS5 controller’s analog module is physically damaged or worn, software cannot resolve the issue. In those cases, repair or replacement is required. For calibration-related problems—which are the most common—it performs reliably and delivers accurate results. Proper diagnosis should always come before selecting a solution.
