    Controller Left Analog Drifting Up... AGAIN


    This is the third controller that has done this to me. Xbox replaced the previous two, now I have another controller doing this and it is getting worse by the day. This time, it only took 4 months for the issue to occur. What is going on with these controllers?
    I never had this problem with the 360 controllers.

    The worst part is that they made me send my controller in previously, which means no gaming unless I want to buy another controller. I really hope someone on their support staff can finally resolve this drifting up issue that has plagued the controllers
    since Day One.

    :)

    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.

    Xbox one controller Left analog drifting up

    Hello Microsoft Team

    for about a month now

    My controller has started to drift upwards when I am playing games.

    This is especially frustrating playing diablo 3 as it will do it when i am trying to cast town portal I have tried to update the software again n the controller to no avail.

    I am not sure what other troubleshooting steps to take

    Please advise

    Day One controller thumsticks drifting

    I am having the same problem. My left analog stick is drifting up, and it is getting worse, almost to the point where I can't control it. Microsoft needs a fix, nothing is broken in the controller, seems like a calibration is needed. Is there a way to
    recalibrate the analog sticks?

    analog stick

    my controller no matter what seems to drift the analog stick has literally no play but yet it drifts. for fortnite it goes straight up but for forza the camera is directed to the left and when I do test it on miscrosofts app it only drifts up and not to
    the left

    .
    Yeah I hate when that happens too. You could go on youtube and find a way to open the controller to fix. But I wouldn't recommend it, only advise is to buy a new one sadly.

    FPS gamers, what is the average life span of your analog sticks?

    Hello everyone :)

    I just replaced the Xbox One controller that came with my Kinectless Xbox One bundle yesterday so it lasted me 8 months.

    The left analog stick wasn't very responsive to Destiny's click it down to run function and the right analog stick was drifting up (making it hard for me to snipe without having to compensate for the up drift).

    Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone :)

    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?
