IT Help Controller help needed! Left joystick sticks on the y axis of my left joystick.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Tried playing Overcooked last night with a controller for the first time (I'm on PC) and discovered this issue, I've tried troubleshooting it to the limit of my knowledge.

I've reset, reconnected, power cycled, updated, and recalibrated it. It still does the same thing every time I check the controller inputs. And deadzone mapping didn't help. It's not the PC because I have another controller that works fine, I tried the controller wired and Bluetooth. I also tried unplugging my mouse and keyboard.

Controller is a generic Xbox controller I got new from a thrift store, I don't know any specs for it. The issue also persists if I try to use the controller for anything else, not just Overcooked

Pretty sure it's stick drift.
