basically, when i input straight left, the controller decides it wants to alternate between upper left and downer left really fast. which is not good for games like smash bros or celeste. what should i get to replace it?
Is this a good question?
I have this issue too on my PowerA wired controller.
From what I can tell, the PowerA uses similar sticks most others (just perhaps an even cheaper brand).
This article explains the issue and talks about some solutions:
iFixit: Here’s Why PS5 Joysticks Drift (and Why They’ll Only Get Worse)
I found these two videos as well:
PowerA Nintendo Switch Controller drift issues fix! – on mine I already tried this, and it seems to have done something, but not fixed it, it does drift differently now XD
PowerA Switch Controller Drifting - DEEP CLEAN – I will attempt this one later, failing that, I guess it’s (de)soldering time and buying a replacement part

My left stick keeps turning like if it’s the right stick? It very hard to play

My left stick doesn't snap back into place so it just makes my character keep moving.
