We’ve added a bit more information to this guide to help you deal with stick drift.
Has the controller been improperly stored during a trip, or have unwashed hands used it?
Both might cause contaminants to enter unwanted areas.
Whatever the case,external agents can easily cause even the best-designed controllers to drift.
Additionally, we recommend not snacking while gaming.
While this may be tempting, you could get bits of food stuck in your control.
If you better snack, be sure to have a napkin or something to wipe your hands on.
Pressured air can be purchased at any office supply store, as well as online.
If you have never used it before,be cautious!
