Controller drift

So my controller has just started to do the same. Rendering it useless, and therefore rendering my Xbox one useless for gaming unless I pay out for a replacement. Microsoft representatives, put yourself in the position of your customers for a moment. If
you're honest - you would NOT be happy with the frankly dismissive attitude you're taking to this widespread problem. Take a look around the internet on the subject...this isn't a few isolated cases.

I've noted that one of the threads here has reached 70 pages worth of complaints - before it got locked down. In your position of putting yourself in the shoes of your customer, how would that make you feel?

If you're being true to yourself, you'd not find it acceptable, and probably be as upset as we are that the cost of ownership of an Xbox One seems to have increased by about £40 a year (or worse) due to substandard hardware. After the whole Red Ring of
Death issue (That I suffered twice) I would have thought that Microsoft may have learnt something - at least then, there was a concerted (and embarrassed) effort to fix those affected consoles.

Perhaps it is I that should have learnt from that lesson.

You got respect for that. You will not get respect for trying to sweep this under the carpet. The problem is not going to go away, and telling us to go 'purchase a replacement' is insulting. As this is obviously a design issue- a replacement is likely
to suffer the same issue (as evidenced).

Frankly - we all feel that Microsoft will shrug, consider this a drop in the ocean - and do nothing about this.

The only help we can offer is to advise you to purchase a replacement controller.

If your controllers drifting, rather get it replaced if its brand new.

I just got a Xbox controller for Christmas. And as soon as I connected it to my Xbox it had drift on the right joystick. I opened the controller right from the box and didn’t get any dust of anything like that near it but still it drifts. I wanted a new Xbox controller because my old controller had drift. Crazy how out of the box it already has drift.

That is strange. I've only ever had stick drift on my old 360 controllers. I don't know if the standard Xbox one controllers have it, but the Xbox Elite controller sticks can be adjusted to have dead zones to avoid drift. Check in the Xbox Accessories
app if you can adjust it for normal controllers.

Have my elite controller set up and still drifts. Can't do standard controller. Did notice they drift worse on any COD.

Hey there.

Not quite understanding what you mean by centerpoint. Is the controller drifting up? For steps on drifting controllers, check out our

Xbox One Controller Troubleshooter. Unfortunately for drifting issues, the controller would need to be repaired or replaced depending on your warranty status.

If the controller has a drifting issue then you will have to wait for the replacement. There really is no fix for drifting issues that I know of.
