Got a Logitech Sidewinder Extreme, the analog version, which seems to be a clone of Thrustmaster FCS.
While the condition seems to be good and the stick is very much operational, it noticeably drifts along both axes.
The wheels to the sides which control potentiometer positions when at rest, seem to alter the rate at which the drift happens, but sadly there is no "sweet spot" to get rid of this completely.
On the boards people have been mentioning different ways of fixing this including clearing the contacts (?).
Since I am concerned I will unlikely be able to replace the potentiometers without harming the device, was curious what options I could have here.
