Anyone have a solve to the sticky joystick… we are having problems with our joysticks getting stuck in a max positions (all the way up or right)… These joysticks are only 6 months old and have a 1/2 season of play on them… we had to buy a new joystick at worlds because the joysticks had become really unreliable as they would stick in max positions when the kids would switch to using buttons 
Here is how we fixed it:

Although jotsticks works fine but still sometimes they stops working or works improperly. This ia mainly due to their harsh use and also sometimes the environment factors like dust and mositure are there which decreases their reliablity. For its troubleshooting you must open it an clean it with the proper cleaner. Also check all its mechanical and electronics parts and replace them if required.
