    How do I fix drifting analog stick without opening up the controller?


    Sorry to say, but its the only one I have. I don't want to go out and replace it, considering they're over 60$. Is there anyway to fix it without going into the controller? I don't want this controller to be like this by the time Halo 5 is out. Also, do
    not bother Mister Quimby, I've tried your "steps", it worked for exactly 0 people...

    :)

    Xbox 360 controller - Bring it back!

    I find it a bit funny that people look back on the 360 controller so fondly. Sure I didn't have any that just stopped working completely but I did have 2 with broken mic jacks and a bunch with drifting analog sticks.

    The early 360 white controllers were good but they cheeped out later on and produced junk analog sticks that would only last a few months before they would start drifting.

    I'm fine with the X1 controller but the analog sticks seem to still be prone to drifting. They need to beef the analog sticks up but I don't see that happening it's a way for them to sell more controllers.

    Hello

    Unfortunately there is no fix for this issue besides buying a new controller. You can find usually find controller for a lot cheaper (45$ instead of 60$) when searching sites like Amazon than buying it from a retail store.

    I was hoping for something a little more hopeful. Its still useable in games, so its not a terrible concern, but I hope someone else comes by with a magical fix, as I need one.

    Day One controller thumsticks drifting

    I am having the same problem. My left analog stick is drifting up, and it is getting worse, almost to the point where I can't control it. Microsoft needs a fix, nothing is broken in the controller, seems like a calibration is needed. Is there a way to
    recalibrate the analog sticks?

    analog stick

    my controller no matter what seems to drift the analog stick has literally no play but yet it drifts. for fortnite it goes straight up but for forza the camera is directed to the left and when I do test it on miscrosofts app it only drifts up and not to
    the left

    .
    Yeah I hate when that happens too. You could go on youtube and find a way to open the controller to fix. But I wouldn't recommend it, only advise is to buy a new one sadly.

    FPS gamers, what is the average life span of your analog sticks?

    Hello everyone :)

    I just replaced the Xbox One controller that came with my Kinectless Xbox One bundle yesterday so it lasted me 8 months.

    The left analog stick wasn't very responsive to Destiny's click it down to run function and the right analog stick was drifting up (making it hard for me to snipe without having to compensate for the up drift).

    Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone :)
