Controller joystick stuck.

ForrestDrumm · Apr 5, 2022

I bought a new controller for Christmas but my left analog stick keeps getting stuck and I have to keep pulling it out. I’ve had this issue with other controllers in the past but it usually happens after a year or more.

I don’t play a lot of games so when I do get online I just wanna enjoy my game and I shouldn’t be having this issue with a more or less new controller. Any recommendations besides cleaning controller or replacing parts? I’ve done my research and I’m not impressed.

Yea this is odd.It could be the actual controller itself doing it.try taking apart the controller and making sure the joysticks and the bumpers arent obstructed by anything.the mini button on the inside may be stuck down or your joystick could be leaning
to the side to much.Hope this helps !!

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello ForrestDrumm, usually in these cases we suggest an exchange, but by your report how you bought the control at Christmas depending on where it is it may no longer be in warranty, in your case try to seek some specialized assistance in Game, Consoles etc. they can check what is wrong with the control.

Yea...Joystick is an old term from way back and it shows my age but my grandson calls it a joystick too. The controllers work fine its just I've been a PC gamer since MOHAA and my muscle memory is stuck on mouse.

Does anyone have experience with the XMI4 adapter?

I have a new adaptive controller and have the adaptive joystick plugged into the usb on the left side of the adaptive controller, yet the joystick will not control the left thumbstick in any direction. This is my 2nd adaptive controller keyboard and
first joystick ( first thought pads on adaptive controller were touch pads). I’m hoping someone else has had this issue and is an easy fix. I turn the adaptive controller on first, then my regular controller. I’m praying this is not a second return of the
adaptive controller or a first of the joystick.

If you have the Xbox Control App, I would double check you have the setting in the correct way first. If it is just in game, check the in game sensitivity. If it is happening while at the home screen of your Xbox, this might mean a button is stuck on.
I have noticed it you have a button held down and move the joysticks around they move incredibly fast. If a button is stuck you will have to try and see if you are within the warranty period or replace the controller.
