I believe there is a type of analog stick that uses some kind of magnetism to detect movement which allows for no/little dead zone and little wear. Don't quote me on that. I remember back in the 360 days playing with a controller that drifted so badly that I could set the controller down and my character would move on its own. Didn't have the money for new controllers back then so I wore the sticks down to the plastic and wore the finish off the handles of the controller. A year into my Dualsense and it's sticks already wobble more than they should. The problem is that I can't necessarily point to a manufacturer of a top notch controller that would last forever. I'm sure it exists and I don't know about it but for the average person it's Xbox or Playstation. It's not the same as other things like keyboards where I can buy a really good mechanical one and theres tons to choose from instead of the crappy ones from walmart.

The only thing it fixes is any sticking in the mechanical assembly. This works 50% of the time because it's assuming that's something isn't mechanically broken inside. Alcohol works too, because temporary acts as a lubricant and cleans any dirt int he mechanics of it. These Pots are usually cheap though, so it's always good to just replace it.

If you really want backbuttons you can add modkits from a brand like extremerate since the design of the kong controller is the same as the og xbox. And the modkits frome xtremerate are sufficient for their pricepoint even if the buttons dont feel as elegant or fine polished they are reliable and deliver on what they promise.

If you have the cover off, pop the potentiometers open and take a q-tip and actually clean the inside of it out. You're going to inevitably have to change them out. The easiest way to change them is to cut them out, take the new potentiometers, trim the three legs, position them until it is dead center, then solder them down. While you're in there, replace the other three also.

I don’t remember old controllers having this issue, but joycons, Xbox, and apparently some dualsense as well are doing this now. It’s still potentiometer based like the old ones, so why is it happening now?

I ended up striping the pro controller down till I could expose the joystick. Got a bunch of pet hair out of it as well as I used the BW-100. That stuff is a lifesaver. A friend was having trouble and controllers are expensive

Spray it in with the controller face down. It'll catch inside the analog cup and hopefully when you turn it face up while moving the sticks it'll run down and catch in the potentiometer or where ever it may need to go. Obviously opening the controller is always the best option. It's so worth learning how to solder new analog sticks onto controllers. It costs almost nothing and once you've done it a few times it takes like 30m to have brand new sticks.

It's a bummer that Gulikit's KingKong 2 Pro controller isn't compatible with Playstation or Xbox. The hall sensor sticks and triggers along with the mechanical ABXY buttons is a game changer

Gonna try this on my original quest controllers! I got my quest at launch, and a year later they released the Quest 2 and discontinued all replacement parts for the original, so if my controllers break it's useless. I was worried I would have to save up for an Index soon (never buying from oculus again, they borderline scammed me by not supporting their barely year old product), because the sticks were drifting and they don't produce controllers anymore.
