First off, start with the basics: turn off your Steam Deck to avoid any accidental inputs. Gently wipe the surface of the joystick with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn grime, slightly dampen the cloth with isopropyl alcohol and carefully clean around the joystick. Avoid using too much liquid; you don’t want any seeping into the device. Finish off by wiping it down again with a dry cloth to remove any moisture.

Use a can of compressed air to blow away any dust or debris around the joystick area. It's great for getting rid of stuff that's not necessarily stuck on but just hanging around. Just make sure not to blow too hard or too directly into the joystick base to avoid damaging any internal components.
