I've had this few times, but what helps is by simply doing a complete circle with the analog, like move it around in full circles, touching all the edges.
I'm guessing you already tried that and i'm guessing you rebooted your PC too?
1st thing to do, try in another PC, if you don't have other PC or laptop, install a virtual machine (virtualbox, virtual PC ..whatever works for you). I saw it says USB, so you can assign it to virtual machine. See if it still does it, if it does, then it's 100% controller and not software, if it works in other pc / virtual pc, then do the following:
what controller is it? if it needs drivers, un-install the drivers + software, then use CCleaner to clean all the temp files and do a registry scan (make sure all options are enabled, except from "wipe free space" or anything else you don't want to wipe, such as browser passwords or whatever you use, just read thru each option in ccleaner, but make sure it cleans all temp files and other junk).
then reboot PC after you done with ccleaner
and then re-install all the drivers + software.
if none of this helps, then it might actually be the controller itself, if nothing else helps, i'd recommend take it apart. maybe one of the controller contacts is dirty or something, unlikely, but possible. Might also be something conductive stuck under the analog's contact and making it do that.
