So I’ve had both of my controllers since the release of the ps4 back in 2013. The controller i use most has a problem where i would plug it in to the ps4 to charge, then it would look up for no reason without moving the right stick. My second controller i use less, has problems where running feels sluggish, sometimes closes out of menus, and sometimes shoots my gun without me pressing R2. How can i fix these problems?

Seems that dirt /dust has accumulated inside the Controllers. Cleaning the interiors of the Controllers should solve the problem.

One option would be to try resetting the controller. Under the L2 button there is a small hole on the back of your controller. Using an unbent paper clip, hold the button down for about 3-5 seconds. This will reset the controller. Now plug your controller into your PS4 and re-sync it for a successful reset. If this doesn’t work, then definitely try cleaning it out to see if that resolves the issue.
