If you like to drive around looking out the driver's side window.

Any way I can fix without bringing it back, it's going to take at least a week for it

I've not tried it but if you've got some electrical contact cleaner you could spray some in, move it around a bit and see if it resets back to centre. Let it dry out for a bit before powering it on.

As far as I know a lot of controllers (joycons, DS5, etc.) Have the same issue as they all use the same internal part.

You could possibly order one and have a go at replacing it. Seems a lot for something defective pretty much right out the box though.

Got the stuff you need in order to solder and an interest in electronics repair? Go for it. Ten to one that's an off-the-shelf part.

Otherwise get it replaced.

Unrelated, but anyone know if they fixed the problem of not being able to add the '+' button to the macro sequence?
