Tried the double-sided tape trick for loose thumbsticks and it was a mess
Stripped my Xbox controller's left stick last weekend and figured I'd wedge a little strip of double-sided tape in there to tighten it up... ended up with sticky goo all over my fingers and the stick is somehow looser now. Anybody got a real fix that doesn't involve buying a $10 replacement kit?

Did you try using electrical tape instead? I did that once on an old PS4 controller and it worked okay for a while... then it got hot and left this weird black residue everywhere. Just ended up buying the replacement kit anyway.

The $8 AliExpress joystick kit with a little metal pry tool worked way better than tape for me, no heat issues at all.
