HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You saved my life. I have a lot of stick drift in my left analog that ruined my gaming experience through running movement in most of my games (Warzone, Apex, Fortnite) and this tutorial fix it ! I had some black crap on the sensor when I take them off and rubbing it with alcohol and a fine needle solve it. Thanks so much!!!
