Faulty left analogue

The Oggydazzler · Sep 11, 2015

I bought two xbox one controllers, both developed faulty left analogue sticks. It *** me off that a company like Microsoft can get away with selling such crap! I'm going to game on PC's in the future and Microsoft will never be able to rip me off again!!!
ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid company.

Faulty left analogue stick (drifting up)

This has to be sorted soon as it can't be me and my son causing the same fault, i have spent £300 so far on controllers, "what the hell Microsoft",

6 controllers all with the same left analogue stick drifting up, my xbox ones are now out of warranty and i have just found out that if you buy a controller separate it doesn't have warranty, all the controllers where less than a year old when they went
faulty.

So now i am stuck with the dilemma of buy another 2 controllers, or just give up on xbox sell what i have and go over to playstation.

This is obviously a design flaw and needs to be addressed because it is massively unfair to expect us as consumers to keep forking out £50 every 8 months or so.

I have an xbox 360 controller which has lasted over 5 years so why are these new controllers so cheaply made.

Being angry here isn't going to help to do anything constructive about it.

Things like this sometimes happen. Can't expect companies to make near perfect products a 100% of the time. No such thing as a 'perfect world'

Mine has been doing this for a while. I bought a new controller, and out of the box it did the same thing. Is it possible that its a software problem or has this been certified a joystick problem?

There's a fix to this but you have to solder a new analog module on the controller. It isn't that hard and you save money.

It will prob's be down to one thing CHEAP parts, if I went through 6 controllers that should be more than enough Proof the internal workings are of an inferior quality and failing before they really should.

Not good for wallet, Brand reputation or business.

I guess I will find out and as for having to repair your own controller How About Microsoft just Use Better Quality Potentiometer's in the Pad, then this issue would not happen.
