As others have stated the sticking is just not a difficulty with drift. It isn’t a difficulty in any respect and can go away as soon as you set the faceplate again on.
As for fixing the drift, there are numerous potential issues. The most probably repair goes to be:
Go to amazon or wherever you need to purchase alternative components and choose up “xbox one joystick alternative”
They’ll appear to be this
You don’t need the little plastic sticks, you need the precise joystick modules.
Now, should you’re good with soldering, simply de-solder the outdated one and solder a brand new one on. Drawback solved.
However that is fairly sophisticated so here is a better methodology:
You see these inexperienced square-ish caps with the white issues protruding of them, within the image for the factor I linked?
In the event you open these up, you may discover slightly steel disc inside. The inexperienced covers are caught onto the module with click on tabs, so that you pry the inexperienced housing away from the steel housing (fastidiously!) and you’ll pull out the steel ring with tweezers. The one in your controller has in all probability gone dangerous so changing it with a brand new one will (in all probability) repair the problem. In the event you take your yellow caps off your controller’s joysticks, you may see modules similar to those I linked. You’ll be able to open the inexperienced click on tabs on there, take out the steel disc with tweezers, and exchange it with a brand new one. It’s tough getting inside these items whereas leaving the modules on the board, nevertheless it’s not unattainable.
I’ve completed this 4 or 5 instances. In my expertise, it’s not a everlasting repair. There’s probably one thing sporting these discs down within the controller, so it will begin drifting once more ultimately. Nonetheless, it might hold going for a very long time. And worst case situation, you’ll be able to simply purchase some spares and exchange it once more when wanted.
Notice: Clearly you may want to determine which path it is drifting and be sure you exchange the appropriate ring.
Okay, that is all I acquired for ya. Good luck.
