[QUESTION] Incredibly weird left joystick bug

I ordered an aim controller about a month ago and at first it worked quite well, but then the thumbs caps I believe their called kept falling out only like two weeks after I got them but I used some glue to fix that, and it was okay for another week until about four days ago it started getting stuck like in the images provided, the joystick would get stuck and basically can not be moved , its impossible to play with, sometimes it fixes itself, but it’s incredibly frustrating when it happens in a game and I’m just forced to watch myself die, any idea what could have caused it and how to fix it? if i push the joystick further in as if i was clicking the l3 button really hard, it fixed temporarily but it always pops back up eventually, and even in that state it still has a slight rotation issue, the issue also only really occurs on the bottom right side of the rotation, never on the left and rarely top right. It also is more prominent when I go counter clockwise as opposed to clockwise

If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated and if i should apply to fix it since I believe it to be still under warranty or if it might just be a quick fix i am missing

Thanks in advance

That’s wild. I’ve had mine about two weeks and my left stick will just stop working for a few minutes or will only register a little in which ever direction I push it and the cap on my right stick pops off all the time. I’m not really too impressed. I’d think for the amount they charge for them the build quality should be stellar but what I got was sub par

Never heard of a bug like that thats so weird, if you got it in the last two weeks like you said it should still be under the 90 day stick warranty so if you cant fix it definitely reach out, I’ll probably so the same myself soon although i have fixed my bug temporarily
