so, this controller came with my Xbox series s that was purchased December 2023. while playing the halo: ce campaing I suddenly notice that my camera started to randomly look up.

in the video, those fast flicking movements are me, trying to show how sometimes it sticks and sometimes not.

what can I do? I've tried cleaning it (wiping with Q-Tip and blowing air into joystick) but no change. I have no experience or even equipment for soldering, I've heard you need that for replacing the joystick. if I have to buy a new controller, wireless is a must (though I've read hall effect and wireless don't work well)

I have tried to just adapt but while trying to play a fighting game with a friend my character wouldn't stop doing taunts and we lost.

thanks!

I'm very new to halo, and don't know all of the lore and characters and stuff. I think these Spartans look pretty cool and want to know more about them. I think far right is master chief, but he looks kind of wierd
