Replacement Analog Joystick Module
The drift is caused by the physical degradation of the carbon resistive tracks inside the joystick's potentiometer. As the wiper moves, it sheds conductive dust and wears through the substrate, leading to 'ghost' inputs. Replacing the modular assembly is the industry-standard mechanical fix for this wear-based failure.

Hall Effect Joystick Upgrade Kit
This is a permanent engineering solution that replaces the wear-prone potentiometer with magnetic sensors. Because there is no physical contact between the sensor and the moving stick, it eliminates the friction-based failure mode that causes drift in the OEM parts.

BW-100 Electronic Contact Cleaner
Used as a non-invasive first-step troubleshooting measure to flush out the debris and carbon dust accumulated under the joystick's rubber dust shield. This can temporarily restore the signal path but does not repair the actual loss of resistive material on the internal tracks.
