33+ Amateur Engineers Who Totally Fixed Things

One of the most frustrating things for a gamer, besides lag, latency, packet loss, slow internet connections, and high ping, is controller drift. Controller drift is when your on-screen character moves without input from the joysticks. It happens to older controllers or new ones thrown repeatedly against a wall in anger due to lag.

But this gamer didn’t let the laws of a broken controller ruin his gaming experience. What he did instead was take a bunch of rubber bands to keep the joysticks in place. We’re not sure how effective this method is at reducing drift, but if he took the time to share it online, then it must be working.
