Offered to fix my neighbor's stick drift on his PS5 controller. It was an unusual sporadic drift. Not a constant. Picked up some Helder Game Tech Analog Stick Drift Fix pads to see if I could fix up the controller. Difficulty: 5/10 because you have to solder. But it's one of the easiest soldering jobs.
Yeah, I know, I know. My soldering job doesn't look that great. But it's functional.
