  • Alright homies, listen up:

    Stick drift is easy to fix. Once you do it right you can reliably fix it every time.

    Buy a few replacement modules (don’t worry, no soldering is required). They usually come with the crappy torx screwdrivers needed to disassemble most modern controllers.

    As far as I know, virtually every controller uses these modules, except for hall-effect modules, and the weird slidey analog pads Nintendo use.

    You see the 2 green sides? You can pull them outwards to access the pads.

    Simply swap the pads out (you’ll need tweezers) and push the green face plate back onto the component.

    Done!

    Don’t spend a fortune on a new controller when you can fix it for under $10.

    Look at the old pads, you’ll normally see some very obvious discolouration which points to moisture damage, stretched springs from frequent use, or cum from poor hygiene.
