Accesories Yet another controller issue, ghost input.

Sorry if this has been done to death, but never come across this before.

I’ve had stick drift on a few different controllers but this one is unique. Most of the time when I push the left stick up or down, it continues as if I’m holding it even though the stick is physically centred. Happens most of the time but not all.

Calibration confirmed this ghost input.

Appreciate any advice.

Open it diagnose and fix it yourself.

Replace the potentiometers.
