    Controller has random stick drift after sitting in a shelf for 2 weeks.


    Probably the wrong sub but recent posts got my attention on the subject. I've had a series x blue controller about 2 months now and it's spent the last 2 weeks on a shelf untouched because I hate the share button.

    Went to use it while my other controller charged and was greeted with extreme stick drift on both sticks. It runs through the dashboard on its own for reference. This is ridiculous for a controller that's never been dropped and barely used, it's basically brand new still and now worthless.

    Is there a way to get it replaced or push a class action lawsuit or something?

    Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller - Garbage

    I feel your pain. I got mine for Christmas, and about 6 months in, I got stick drift. So I reached out to Warranty and Repair, and they approved it to be shipped back in and they replaced it. After shipping it, it took about 2 weeks to get a new controller
    back.

    Unfortunate that stick drift is a common thing these days, but that's what I did to handle my Series 2 controller.

    New Elite Series 2 Controller Stick Drift like the Series 1 ! WHY !? Unbelievable !

    Iv'e bought multiple controllers over the years and iv'e only had a stick drift issue with one of my controllers and it was on it's last legs to be honest (after serving me well over the years) it was time to retire the controller and get a new one, witch
    i just bought a random controller that was brand new, and i haven't had problems with stick drift in many years.
