Well, it’s really not an easy thing to do. Your best bet is to try and get a hold of an old controller and cannibalize it, but that might not work too well.
I have opened one up before (think it just uses small philips screws) and actually opened the joystick compartment, then tried to reset the innards (I did it by melting it back into position with a lighter, but glue is probably better). It tightened it up a bit, but it still wasn’t ideal.
Unfortunately its just a casualty of the lower tech at the time. Great controller, but I’m glad analogue has evolved.
Good luck if you try it, and be very careful opening the joystick compartment – there’s a spring in there that can fire out and get lost if you’re not careful.
there is but it will go bad Again so I would recommend buy another one there like 6-9 bucks.
