Sticks started to drift on my 2nd controller and I was ready this time. :D

So this is the 2nd time I've soldered in new joysticks. The last time I was not as well equip and it was kind of a pain in the ass but this time I had amassed a bunch of good tools to fix it. I got the Joystick soldering iron tip from Etsy, Proper solder wick, a nice vice/clamp and a solder sucker I didn't end up using. I'm excited to say it was fun this time all the way through! The worst part was putting it back together. (Not even that bad tbh) Researching and watching loads of videos paid off huge. I tested the error rate and its 6.5% on both of them. :D
