Joy-Con drift is when the Nintendo Switch thinks that the analog stick (also known as the joystick, controller stick, or thumbstick) of the Joy-Con is moving, but it isn't.
Joy-Con drift may occur as you use the Joy-Cons over time from dust and debris building up. You do not need to disassemble the Joy-Con for this repair. In addition, this guide will not corrode any parts of your Joy-Con controller.
Please note this repair is temporary and will last only a certain amount of time.

Process says it requires compressed air then goes on to use contact cleaner instead.
