Hardware Wii U Gamepad left analog stick issue

[Deleted User]

Hey tempers,
So I've been having an issue with my Wii U gamepad's left analog stick in that its slow to respond when pushing up or down.
Left and right are functioning perfectly, but when I want it to go up I have to push it all the way and even then there is delay of about a second. Same with controlling down.
Wondering if anyone has had this issue or would know what is going on and how to fix it.
Cheers

I have the same problem. Apparently even without much usage the analog degrade with time.
I had to buy a set of replacements on Amazon.
The good news is they are quite affordable and the Wii U gamepad is modular so its very easy to replace them.
