My left stick is screwing up, and I want to replace it.

I have this issue too on my PowerA wired controller.

From what I can tell, the PowerA uses similar sticks most others (just perhaps an even cheaper brand).

This article explains the issue and talks about some solutions:

iFixit: Here’s Why PS5 Joysticks Drift (and Why They’ll Only Get Worse)

I found these two videos as well:

PowerA Nintendo Switch Controller drift issues fix! – on mine I already tried this, and it seems to have done something, but not fixed it, it does drift differently now XD

PowerA Switch Controller Drifting - DEEP CLEAN – I will attempt this one later, failing that, I guess it’s (de)soldering time and buying a replacement part

My left stick keeps turning like if it’s the right stick? It very hard to play
