Faulty PS4 Controllers

Options
ok So I have 3 PS4 Controllers

2 of them are faulty one is fully working...

faults are
Left Analog (Both Controllers) won't move properly
One swerves to the left (Racing games & Fifa)
One won't move poroperly (Can't run keeps stopping Cod/Division/Destiny)

so took both controllers to work as work mate had bits to fix the controllers

me & him opened up both controllers cleaned them and check left analog sticks etc & cleared all the dust etc

put the controllers back together

when I got home they work but the analog sticks won't work (On PS4)

Why is this?? He did his controller and it works 100% fine

    Might be worth calibrating them, see if that helps.

    How old are the controller/s ?

    If official ones maybe give Sony a try.

    No harm in giving it a try. How much have they been used ?

    Explain you expected better from a Sony product.

    What i meant was has 1 been your main controller eg used most of the time and the other is just when a mate comes round so say an 80/20 or 90/10 split.

    When you say 1 came with the console, i take it you mean you bought it at launch ?

    I had a launch console which controller broke at the beginning of this year, rang Sony and they sent me a replacement for free, I didn't even need to send the old one back, may not be as generous now as its nearly 3 years old

    I cant see Sony being interested now someone else has taken them apart and tampered with them.

    I used one till it died (Then put it on charge)
    Used other one and kept doing it to both for years...

    Bought new one as both of them had faulty left analog sticks

    That was about April/May this year
