Elite Series 2 left analog stick issue solution

I have 2 Elites drifting to the right from the left analog stick.

This was very helpful thank you!

It didn't solve my problem 100% but it did help me find a solution that worked for me. Incredibly enough, I had to blow within the gaps around the left analog stick which maybe had dust blocking the sensors or something?

Using the circular test in the gamepad tester site, i noticed my left hand stick had a dead zone when reaching the upward parts of the rotation (would stay light green in those parts). After trying your technique, no dice, but then I just decided to blow through it with a duster and that solved it! The tester was registering full rotations and no drift when releasing.

Hi all! I had the exact same problem everyone is having but mine got resolved simply by accident. My controller slipped off my lap and the ring that is seated around the left thumb stick popped out. Since then I have been plying with it out and I have no issues with the left thumb stick anymore.

I’m glad you found this useful!

It makes sense that what you’re describing could cause a similar issue. At least using this approach after your fix helped you confirm that the issue had been alleviated.

Some of the design choices on the upcoming elite series 2 were made with the 360 controller in mind. The adjustable tension analog sticks will allow you to match the 360s tension for example.
