Analog stick drift happens when potentiometers wear out or dust interferes, causing movement even when untouched. Our analog stick tester measures resting values — anything above |0.15| indicates drift.
The dead zone is the area near center where movement is ignored. Our visualiser draws a faint 15% circle — if your stick rests inside, it's healthy.
Inside dashed line = no drift
