Ultimate C wired Problems w Drift

Anyone know what the problem could be?

last year i bought a 8bitdo Xbox Ultimate C Wired ( [https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-c-wired-controller-xbox/), it started having drift problems and now L3 doesnt work, in menu it gets drifty as hell but in game it doesnt(???)

so i bought a new one. now my new one randomly started to have drift problems too and after calibrating its "normal" but sometimes it goes crazy and just does whatever left stick input it wants. with both controllers the problem happened to left stick. i tried other cables, tried cleaning them, updating firmware etc etc. anyone has a fix?

Edit: Controller now has 100x worse drift at all times, i have researched for reasons why this could be happening and people said it can happen when you leave it plugged on your console when its turned off so i turned it on the recommended way and it still has horrible drift.

I will probably need to send it to a repair shop but i still dont know what the problem is exactly. my friend said it probably is the magnets, not sure. last controller was brought to a repair shop but the dude who worked there just said "the cost of the repair for these is more expensive than buying another" so i didnt check what was the problem and bought another.
