    Left analog stick now drifts.

    Both my controllers now drift up. It is not a software issue. It is a hardware issue . It is because they bought cheap components from China. There is a YouTube video in the post below showing how to take a XBox One controller apart and the piece that
    is always breaking. The second link is how to fix your controller step by step.

    How to fix Xbox stick drift on Xbox wireless controller without breaking apart

    There is no way to fix it, you'll need to replace the controller.

    I want to buy a genuine Xbox 360 wired controller

    if you look after your tech and don't throw them around you can find Xbox one third party controller that are good and don't break as easy, my youngest has one that he uses, that gets thrown about banged, handled rough and works a charm no stick drift where as the Xbox one controllers fell apart and got severe stick drift, i got fed up of fixing them or replacing, got a third party one and its lasted longer.

    also third party ones new still have a warranty for peace of mind.

    Xbox Stick shift problem

    Unfortunately stick drift is something that happens to almost every controller with analogue sticks after some time. I feel like the fact that a lot of games require you to click in the sticks for in-game actions has resulted in stick drift becoming more
    common more quickly in these last two generations of consoles. I've had to replace a few controllers on the PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One because of stick drift. As Dazza said, you can fix the controllers, but that requires taking them apart and doing some soldering.
    Quickest and simplest solution is getting another controller, which really sucks because they're not cheap.
