Easy Fix for Stick Drift! 😱

[thefonze]

OMG that's so much work... guys just use a qtip soaked in low % iso 70 etc, swirl it around the stick make sure it gets below the stick, move the stick on a big circle several times, let it dry and your good, I've fixed 4 controllers with
with this method.

If you're going to go that far, just buy a pack of replacement parts and desolder the old and resolder new stick components lol

I tried to fix a Joy con with stick drift once. Now for context, I have done an RGH 3 mod, a bunch of soldering, a Picom8 setup without a battery backup and a bunch of other stuff. BUT THE SECOND I TRIED FIXING DRIFT MY BODY WAS BARELY HOLDING ONTO MY SOUL IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING.

Probs should have started with the second solution… lol

You can squeeze some rubbing alcohol in while moving it around until smooth again, and see if that works., just let dry before use again.

i have like six but the first two i used for 7 years have yet to get stage 1 drift, but half of the new ones have stage 2 why?

All my Controllers wear out. So I get a new controllers every year. Maybe my hands are like sandpaper. They get rubbed so smooth you don't realize it until you get a new controller. LOL just like my computer keyboards. Shiny keys show where my fingers always are.

They're called spudgers and they're very easy to find.

In what universe are security bits and prybars hard to find? Literally any electronics repair kit will have those...
