I worried about potential stick drift or other broken components. Sellers advertise that there is no stick drift, but I'm not sure know how easy that is to fix, and whether to trust them.

The seller said he replaced the Joystick with hall effect sticks so it might be fine. I think I'm going to buy it and try it out. I'm curious anyways how this will run, and it's cheap from seller that repairs them.
