My Vectrex Controller's joystick still self-centers but it feels much easier to push it downward than it is to push it upward. I assume this is the springs weakening but I don't know.
How bad of an issue is this? Vectrex Controller question.

What's up with islands? Get more land.
What's up with deserts? Get less sand.
Yeah most likely it's the tension. Doesn't use springs, I think it's a clip in there that does it.

Yeah, the Vec controller uses springs for its auto-centering. The typical fix for this is replacing the spring with one from a 2600 cart. Only issue is you have to peel up the Vectrex decal. If done carefully, it can be barely noticeable, but it isn't easy and will never be perfect.
