Is there anything I can do to fix my right thumb stick drift on my Elite controller?

I have two controllers BOTH with drift issues. The one left thumb-stick drifts upwards and the other one has a right thumb-stick drift issue that drifts upward.

Like what the heck am I suppose to do. #SMH

I've been playing Xbox ever since the early days of the Xbox 360 and quite honestly I've never had this issue with an Xbox 360 controller ever. Since I've been playing so long I figured I'd invest in a high
quality controller. I was a bit late to the game and I missed out on the first Elite controller they released for the Xbox One so I ended up buying the second. After doing some research a common complaint about the first Elite controller was that after a while
"Phantom Drift" or just simple controller drift was occurring in the left and right thumb stick. I purchased the Elite Series 2 controller on January 7th of this year and already I'm experiencing awful controller drift in my left thumb stick. At first, the
drift had only gone upwards and wasn't that big of a deal to work around but it got worse. About a week later I can't even set the controller down for a minute without it starting to drift in BOTH directions. Now is there anything I can do to fix this? Is
there a way to repair it without paying upwards of $100? The 90 day warranty is gone as well so I'm lost.

I have exactly the same problem like a lot of others. It a problem you should get in contact with xbox support warranty or no worranty it should get replac

I've bought the Xbox One Elite Bundle recently too and I've noticed a slight aim dragging that's been going on with my elite controller. My right thumb stick would drift to the right ever so slightly whenever I rest my thumb on neutral position. It's really
hard to aim with precision if my aiming always goes to the right all the time. You can really notice this when you mess with the xbox sensitivity on the sticks via the xbox elite controller app. I mean, isn't this suppose to be an "Elite" controller? It's
been bothering me a whole lot but luckily I have an extra wired controller until I have to wait for a replacement.

Anyways, to the topic creator, you should be able to send in a replacement for the controller for free. It's still under warranty. Just make sure you have everything like the paddles, extra sticks, the plug-n-play wire, and d-pad when you return it.

That is strange. I've only ever had stick drift on my old 360 controllers. I don't know if the standard Xbox one controllers have it, but the Xbox Elite controller sticks can be adjusted to have dead zones to avoid drift. Check in the Xbox Accessories
app if you can adjust it for normal controllers.

Have my elite controller set up and still drifts. Can't do standard controller. Did notice they drift worse on any COD.

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.
