If the joysticks on the YCCTEAM YCC-SW4001 are drifting or otherwise not functioning properly, follow this guide to replace them.
The joysticks are the users main form of navigation through a game or a menu. The caps are easy to replace, so it is common to customize the color or shape of the joystick.
One common problem is drifting, which happens after gradual wear and tear. This could be from decay of the joystick caps or the joystick module (the stick under the caps). If the problem lies in the joystick module, replacing this requires knowledge of soldering as well as access to a soldering kit.
