Problem description
Analog stick drift or jumping around (moves by itself in-game)
Symptoms
- Analog stick drift or jumping around (moves by itself in-game)
Solution
- There are four pots. (two for each analogue), they should be cleaned first and if they are used up, then replaced, the whole analogue with the mechanism can be changed or only the pot.
- These pots will likely not center properly after replacement, you have to rotate them before soldering them in the correct center position, on PCBs without plated through holes you can bend over the pins to make this easier. In extreme cases you will need to shave the corner locating pegs.
- There are two types of sticks used, green pot ALPS, and orange pot. You can only swap green to green and orange to orange due to shaft size.
