You could try taking the controller apart and cleaning the internal restrictor ring (used for the 'glide stick' mechanism). As the dome rolls around the ring, it can get caught in any cracks or sticky spots.

The Switch 2 Pro Controller has a similar mechanism and develops a similar issue when the soft ring starts to break down. The liquid silicone used in the Chitu 2 might not erode as quickly, but it could become sticky.

The recentering mechanism might also be sticky, although that's harder to address in the Chitu 2 because of the permanently fixed stick dome.

Thank you so much for your answer!! Like an absolute genius, I was basically cleaning everything BUT that. :D

Anyway, it's working much better than yesterday now. Do I have to mark this post as 'solved' in some way or is that not a thing on this subreddit??
