    long time lurker first post lol okay, Im officially a member of teh drift club. My right stick on my Switch OLED does this when Im not touching it:

    Controller test

    Controller test
Release both sticks. Both dots should rest in the centre.
Left stick    X  0.18   Y -0.26
Right stick   X  0.00   Y  0.01

    Its worst in a farming sim, where precision matters. Ive tried calibrating in the settings, and it helps for a day before it comes back. Is there something longer-lasting i can try??

    Ive seen a lot of different advice online, from cleaning to repairs to replacement sticks 馃し Id like to know what actually works in practice.

    on a Switch Lite the sticks are built in, sooo a DIY fix means opening teh whole console. thats a strong reason to go through official repair. good luck man!

    ahh classic if ure comfortable with DIY, replacement stick modules exist, but opening a Joy-Con involves small ribbon cables and tri-wing screws 馃槫 Its easy to make things worse, and it can affect warranty.
