The left analog stick has noticeable ‘friction’ when I move it. As if it is rubbing against something. The right analog stick feels smooth like my LCD Steam Deck, but something is wrong with the left one.

When I move it around I can hear plastic creaking and it gets ‘stuck’ slightly… I don’t have any drift issues though.

Is this something that I can fix by using it? Anyone else have this issue? I really don’t want to open my SD up or have to send it back for repairs… damn.
