Last thursday I had some bros over to play bros. We had a super late night and when my friend went to go to bed, he layed some pillows on top of the controllers (by accident) and went to sleep on them. Now both of my best controllers are broken; both of the analog sticks are fine, but the imputs are messed. The first controller's analog always goes up and the second always goes to the right.

Is there any way to fix this? If not, should I make him pay for two more?

This has really pissed me off, because when it comes to leisure activities, smash bros is my number 1 passtime and as you all know, official controllers are very difficult to come by.

Of course, I am going to talk to him tomorrow, but I would like to see what the community thinks.

P.S: I am broke and have no source of income, so replacing them myself will be very difficult. I don't want to seem like a bad friend though by asking him to replace them, so idk what to do.

Well if he didn't offer to pay or do anything about it (assuming he knew), then I doubt he'll willingly pay for them. Ask if he can pay for half or something. I can see it being a bit awkward.

So, I found out that if I pull the analog to pop it out, then plug in the controller and push it back in, it behaves normally. So I let him know if that strategy stops working (in a reasonable amount of time) he owes me 2 new controllers. Anyone have any technical ideas of what happened to the controllers?
