Stick Drift: Cleaning out Potentiometers Thoroughly May Fix It

WARNING - Attempt Repairs At Your Own Risk! Be patient this actually can take around 45 minutes for the inexperienced.

Each stick has 2 potentiometers, one for left-right and one for up-down.
This video focuses on the repair over disassembly/ re-assembly.

I have found this to be the definitive solution for the infamous stick drift, other than replacing the potentiometer. These parts are actually pretty tough. one time I accidentally put the "pot cap" in upside down, forced closed the pot back onto the stick, tested it- nothing for up and down- then opened it again, flipped "pot cap" right side up, closed it all again and the stick works perfectly! lol. I thought I killed it but I didn't. You can give it several tries If the first go doesn't work. Always be mindful of the thin metal on the "pot cap" if it bends or becomes miss-shaped then you'll have issues.
I hope this helps for you.
Any controller with similar technology can be repaired this way.
