By following this guide and replacing the potentiometers with Hall effect sensor sticks, you can permanently fix PS5 joystick drift and enjoy a controller that performs like new for years to come.

Even with Hall Effect sensors, I found that sometimes small movements would not be picked up by the controller —sometimes to catastrophic in-game results.

Hall effect sensors are slowly taking over the world of gaming peripherals, but what are they and do they actually make a difference?

Insensitivity to TiltThe differential sensor, which possesses an inherent ability to reject offsets, when integrated into the package with a back-biased magnet, provides insensitivity to tilt. New ...

Essentially, Hall effect sensors measure the strength of a magnetic field to detect movement, as opposed to regular input sensors that rely on physical contact.
