Finally got my joystick swap right on the third try

I was messing with some old Xbox controllers last weekend. Read a comment somewhere about how the cheap replacement sticks always drift if you don't clean the sensor holes first. Made me stop and think about all the times I just slapped new ones in. Took my time with some isopropyl alcohol and a q-tip, and this one feels brand new. Any of you do extra prep before dropping in new sticks?

Third time's the charm, I've been there. The isopropyl trick is solid, I started doing it after I got sick of drift coming back in a week.

Alcohol and a clean q-tip saves a ton of headaches.
