    Controller drifting left


    Hi,

    I bought my son an Xbox one S for Christmas and set it up for him log automatically.

    He doesn't play much on it. However to play Minecraft, he required me to be logged in first and I was unable to type my password due to the controller drifting left. I had to do it backward.

    An online search revealed to this is a known problem.

    Could you please give me a fix or a replacement controller that actually works properly?

    Sincerely,

    Tangiza

    :)

    Xbox one controller right analogue stick drifting up

    My left analog has been drifting since stereo headphone update...

    Day one controller also. Devastated. Surely the controller isn't broken?

    I have barely used it.

    Controller issue with Left Stick

    I am posting about my Xbox One controller having an issue with the Left Stick. From my viewpoint the controller seems in good condition, no buttons or sticks drifting. However, the problem is noticeable in my games. Take Horizon 3 for example: I'm driving
    my car down a straight road when the controller makes my car turn slightly left. I always look at my left stick and it looks normal, no drifting whatsoever. Sometimes it does it. Sometimes the problem occurs again.

    I was wondering what should I do to fix my own controller, maybe clean the internals since I can't afford another controller? Any help is appreciated.

    Xbox one controller failures

    We have 3 X1 controllers drift forward between me and my son, all left stick drift forward. Pretty sure it's from playing games where sprint is assigned to the left stick. The army camo controller only lasted about a month. Strange thing is, my day one 2013
    controller is still fine.

    Anyway, I use to get through 360 controllers at a similar rate, only difference was the left sticks drifted left on those.

    Xbox One Controller, left stick faulting!!!

    I have two controllers BOTH with drift issues. The one left thumb-stick drifts upwards and the other one has a right thumb-stick drift issue that drifts upward.

    Like what the heck am I suppose to do. #SMH

    Xbox controller

    I have had the controller from last chrismas, the left joystick keeps drifting

    The cursor for my xbox one is skipping when i use my controler

    So i just read another forum of a similar question/problem and their controller had a drift that caused a fast scrolling option on there console and im thinking that could be the underlying cause of my issue as i know that my main controller has a drift with the r3 analog stick and it drifts towards the left. Thoughts?
