Elite series 2 left stick input

Hi, JarrodAR! thank you for reaching out.
My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.
I'm sorry to hear you've been experiencing some issues with your controller.

Have you already tried power cycling your controller? you can do this by pressing and holding its Xbox button until it shuts down. I'd also suggest removing its USB cable for a minute or two (if plugged in). This is the closest there is to a hard reset

I'd also suggest going into the controller's 'test mode' to see if it may be registering input from a different button/paddle. To do this, please go to Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories > look for your controller and select the lab icon underneath it.

If that doesn't work, please answer the following questions so I have a better understanding of your situation.

- May I ask which Xbox model you are using?
- Do you have any external devices plugged into your console's USB ports?
- Is this happening regardless of the game you play?
- Have you already tried using a different controller with your console?
- Have you already tried updating your console's OS?

Thank you.

make sure that you not only map the config but assign it to a slot and that you are on that slot as active. I have the new elite series 2 and i map the left stick down to the left rear paddle; works fine.

Try this procedure: right stick, select one of the sensitivity presets.

Scroll to Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 Controller and select Configure. Select a profile to adjust or create a new one. Select the Edit button and on the Left Stick or D-pad tab

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

Typically they just send you a whole new unit while they refurb the old if possible. They should replace it with the same colors too. Keep in mind though that the Elite Series 2 controller is VERY notorious for left stick drift unfortunately.
