Game Controller Repair in Savannah, GA
Your character moves when your hands are off the sticks. Your aim drifts mid-fight. That's stick drift — the most common controller failure there is — and at Savannah iDoctor it's a $30–$40 repair, not a $70 replacement. We fix controllers in-house at our Montgomery Street shop for every console we service: PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. We're rated 4.8 stars across 437 Google reviews.
What Stick Drift Looks Like
- Menus scroll or characters walk on their own.
- Camera slowly rotates with nobody touching the stick.
- Dead zones grow — you push further and further to get a response.
- One direction stops responding entirely.
Drift comes from worn analog-stick sensors. Cleaning sometimes buys a few weeks; replacing the analog module fixes it properly, and that's the repair we do.

Controller Repair FAQs
How much does controller repair cost in Savannah?
Analog stick and stick-drift repair runs $30–$40 depending on the controller — DualSense and Xbox analog replacement is $30, PlayStation Portal analog repair is $40. Buttons and triggers are priced after a quick look, and you'll always get the price before we start.
What is stick drift, exactly?
Your analog stick uses sensors that wear over time. When they wear, the controller starts reporting movement you didn't make — menus scroll, characters wander, aim drifts. Replacing the analog module fixes it properly.
Will the drift come back?
Any analog stick can wear again with years of play, but a fresh module resets the clock — and we stand behind our repairs, so if the same problem comes back, bring it in and we'll make it right.
