I have a couple of Controller-S with the same issue on the left joystick. It simply won't recenter correctly in both cases. I've taken the controllers apart, cleaned out the mounting and even used some plastic friendly lubricant to try and get the stick to recenter consistently. There is clearly some wear and tear issue on one in particular as the mount for the joystick actually sticks when moved to the far left and won't spring back to the centre without manual help. So I thought why not use the right stick mount from the other controller to replace the left one. Here us the problem:- The left stick mounting is over the left trigger mechanism which prevents access to the solder points underneath. The trigger mounting looks as though it is held in place by two tabs but despite all efforts there is clearly something else holding too. But what and is it possible to remove it to get access without damaging anything? Will the replacement idea even work if there is a way of doing this?
