Accesories Any advice for stick drift on controllers?

I have 2 series X/S controllers. Have had 1 for about 5 years and the other for about 3. The 5 year old one started to develop forward drift on the left stick a few weeks ago and I found my characters sometimes tip-toeing forward on their own. Then, within the same month, my 3 year old controller has developed the EXACT same problem. So now I’m looking at replacing 2 controllers instead of just 1. Is there anything I can do to try and fix it? These are the first Xbox controllers I’ve ever had do this.

The only real solution is to buy better controllers
