So my wired powerA controller was drifting to the left... at the beginning was able to get kinda use to it (i only used when playing skyrim) but since I've been playing the December 7th game lately and its annoying so i said well whatever I'll give it a shot. Opened the controller and saw some white powder around where the sticks connect to the mainboard. got some alcohol and cotton and cleaned it... and now works like new ! i'm guessing that white dust was messing it somehow ... I had a similar experience with some data loggers in the greenhouse (plant grower here) and corrosion was mainly found when i left the batteries on it. I wonder having the console in sleep it still delivers power to the controller and this caused the corrosion (I'm basing this assumption on what happens when you leave your HDD connected to the dock (SX user here)

Any thoughts ? hope this helps someone with the same issue as me (hope i had pictures but I forgot to take them lol )
