Xbox 360 Controller Right Stick has a strange deadzone... Help!

Hey guys, I just fixed my old wireless xbox 360 controller. It was not connecting previously, and after fixing it, it started having a new problem. My right thumbstick only goes to the left if I push the thumbstick all of the way to the left. If I just move
it a little, like I would in a shooting game, nothing happens. My right thumbstick moves find to the right... Could it be dust, as I hadn't touched this controller for a year? Or could it be something else? Any support would be helpful!

Xbox One Controller Problem - Left Analog "DEAD ZONE"

It's not the controller with the left analog sticks deadzone, It's the game itself. Try playing Titanfall and you will not notice the deadzone at all it isn't there. This is an issue with many of the new Next-Gen games for the Xbox One. The only reason they fixed the deadzone on Titanfall was because they need more sales. Different games on the Xbox One have different sized deadzones, COD-Ghosts has a very big deadzone whereas Battlefield 4 has a small deadzone and Titanfall has no deadzone. It's just they way they develop the game around the controller.

 

Xbox One Controller DeadZone

My normal Xbox Controller I have been using for years suddenly got a drift in the right anolog stick. I took it to my nearest repair shop they replaced the inner workings of the stick. I got it back about a week later and the deadzone
on the stick has decreased like crazy. My guess is it’s at zero percent. Why am I complaining you ask. Well in FPS games shooting someone at long range. I just have to give up. I can’t barely move my stick over to hit anything. It’s a blessing and a curse.
I’ve tried lowering my sensitivity doesn’t help. Any way to configure it back to the 15-20% deadzone that it was before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

You could try to blow out any dust with a can of compressed air. You could also put a few drops of rubbing alcohol where the stick goes inside the controller (Don't have the batteries in), and then rotate the stick 360 degrees at varying points. Then wait
a couple of hours, put your batteries back in, and try it then. Make sure you wait, or else you may short your controller. I can't tell you to open it, because well, that's against the rules, so try your best without opening it.

 

I forgot to mention, and this is important, that the warranty is long expired, so I am free to open it now.
