Analogue Stick Drift - Have you had it?

J.R.G. · Jun 23, 2016

No drift on any of my X Box One controllers, including the one with over 3,000 hours of use; wish I had that good luck with the 360 controllers.

Nope not at all on the controllers I own.

I went to the midnight launch for Xbox 1, have the Day 1 Edition console with Kinect, and my day 1 wireless controller is working fine. However when I got Xbox late 2010 with a slim Xbox 360 console, my controller to that is drifting sometimes real bad with
the left stick only, but it's like 1/3 of the time I use it so it's still playable. I wont fork out money to get additional controllers until I really NEED to, and I mean NEED. I'm not really into spending money on controllers. I'm not into 3rd party controllers,
and I think Microsoft charges too much for controllers anyways.

But what you expect? Controllers are made out of PLASTIC. Even that Elite controller is made out of PLASTIC. It's like an overpriced piece of PLASTIC with some neat gadgets though.

2 Controllers (Xbox One) No drift on either of them. 2+ years old.

I play shooters and sports titles (NHL) so they are constantly getting a workout.

like I posted in another thread, I have a limited edition Blue Camo pad that started to drift up. I updated the pad through the console and it fixed it. Its not always a physical issue with the pad. Sometimes its just the calibation.

"only ever had to replace a controller on the 360 due to drifting (was 4+ years old at the time)"

Man I wish the 360 controllers would have lasted that long for my son. COD was what he played the most and wore those things out. I would just keep the ones with a bad stick and then if the next developed drift I would replace it with a good one from the
one of the drifters. The right and left internals are the same.

My oldest son picked up an Elite and mapped the sticks to the paddles as well as 2 other functions. Should make the sticks last much longer although we have not really had issue with the One controllers. I was thinking of picking one up myself just because
of the paddles.

Yes I have, on my 3rd pad in 18 months. Always left anologue stick for me.

I have but i tend to be hard on controllers. I have experienced drift on 360, ps3, and xbox one controllers. All controllers since they have introduced a click on the analogue sticks.
