Hello stick drift again on Xbox elite 2

SenseiMoro · Feb 5, 2023

Hello I once again have a broken elite 2 controller. This is my second elite 2 unfortunately my first broke a month after warranty. I also have had three elite ones break as well. Will I be getting a new controller to replace this defective one or a refurbished one. I feel that due the the money I have spent on these controller which obviously have build issues a new controller so be received and a refurbished model. Looking around the internet this issue seems wide spread and is not an isolated case. When the controller works it the best one on the market but this build quality is disappointing to say the least.

Hi SenseiMoro! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

Sorry to know about the issue. I know how frustrating that must be. I would feel the same way in your situation.

For your concern, mostly, you may receive a refurbished replacement controller. But rest assured that before they send it back to you, everything will be checked or tested out.

same.

my 1st elite: crash gumi grips. send back to service, but i buy a new one for this 2 week. Try this new: right stick drift to right...

ok, my 1st elite came back, try this. left stick drift to right (fresh new controller from ms service)

ok i sent back this 2 broken Elites.

1-2 week done, get 2 new fresh Elites... tested... both new Elite's (my 3rd and 4th) left sticks drift to right...

my last 5 Elites broken, 3 fresh from Xbox Support. Thats a big joke.

I have two original elite controllers and one pf the new elite 2 controllers that I got my son for Christmas. They all have drift issues with the left sticks. I hd thought it would be addressed with the new version, but I guess not. Please help
make this right.

Unfortunately, stick drift seems all too common in this current generation on Xbox, on PS4, and even on Switch. I wonder if it's because so many games use the sticks at buttons as well, which is leading to extra pressure being exerted? I've lost many controllers
to stick drift, and looking at the forums and reddit, a lot of people are complaining about stick drift issues from day one with the Elite series 2. Fingers crossed that Xbox can address the issue for everybody affected by it.

The problem is not just the on elite 2 controllers its a issue with all controllers that use the PDP program because i have 3 afterglow controllers that have problems with joy stick drift i also have 2 power A controllers that have problems with joy stick
drift as well and my brother has an elite 2 series controller that also has the same problem
