Dirt and Residue

Over time, dirt, dust, and other residual materials can get into the crevices between the joysticks. If you can identify the area that is dirty, and you have canned air, give the area a quick blast. This might disrupt the debris enough to knock it out of the controller. If this doesn't work you may need to clean the joysticks from the inside. To do this, follow the steps in the 'analog stick replacement repair guide.
