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.

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

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear about the issue with the joystick recognition to the Windows 10. This issue might be caused due to the incompatibility of the Joystick with Windows 10.

• What device are you trying to use with the Xbox App?
• What game are you trying to use the accessory for?

The Xbox Accessories app gives you more ways to play when paired with an Xbox Wireless Controller,
an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller, or an Xbox Adaptive Controller.

Hope this helps.
