Each axis of the stick is physically connected to the wiper of a potentiometer, so for 10K pots, the stick’s center point should correspond to a resistance of 5K. In the video after the break, starts by explaining how stick drift occurs in the first place. But that doesn’t mean it’s not an interesting hack. Even if you take into account that new sticks might not be as high quality as the originals and could give up the ghost faster, this probably isn’t worth the effort. It would be cheaper and easier to just replace the drifting stick with a new one. To be clear, acknowledges this approach is overkill.
