Escape the Nightmare: Fixing Controller Stick Drift

Yes, I decided that it is only fair to add a little bit of information for my Patreons that help support me in my journey. That but also because of the way the YouTube algorithm works, encouraging us to cut from our creativity short in order to align with the statistics and get more views, and subscribers.

So, from now on I will upload a shorter video on YouTube that gets straight to the point in solving the problem at hand and a second version for my Patreons that might contain additional information, or bits of content where I am allowing myself to express my creativity such as bloopers, some personal life insides or longer footage, without worrying so much about the algorithm numbers.

The first reason is Mechanical Damage: If you're a hardcore gamer and you've been rough with your controller, the mechanical parts inside the analog sticks can get damaged. This results in them not staying in their neutral position, leading to unwanted in-game movements. The only solution here is to replace the entire analog stick. But this is for another video.
