Joystick clicks (no not pressing down)

I stated it is the Xbox Series S|X.

The clicking happens when I move the stick back and forth, not when I press down on it. I know it clicks when it's pressed down, it isn't the problem.

I just want to know if I was replaced with a broken controller or if this is normal

Hello Spatt11101,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

We understand that you felt the joystick to be different because it can be clicked. Let us check on this together so you will get back to gaming.

To make sure we are on the same page, may we know what specifically the controller you are referring to? Kindly visit the page of the controller and compare it to the one's you are holding:

• Xbox Wireless Controller | Xbox
  
  • As such, this problem requires repair if this is the controller to which you are referring. Please send your game controller for service (if you are under warranty).
    
  • For repair requests, kindly click on this page: Getting your Xbox device serviced | Xbox Support
    
• Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 | Xbox
  
  • The clicking sound is normal if this is the controller you're referring to because it will let you switch out the joystick for a more convenient gaming experience.
    
  • You may use this support article as guide for swapping the parts of your controller: Swap removable parts on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 | Xbox Support

As onyx62is said, press your left joystick down. If you see one for the R press your right joystick down Happy gaming!

I went into the accessories app but idk how to navigate to the section that will allow me to click the left thumb stick, then click the adaptive joystick so that the adaptive thumb stick will also function to click in, so I can run using only the adaptive
joystick. Idl what section/how to press the thumb stick on the controller, then press the adaptive thumb stick to copy the function. Can I get a step by step process of what to do once the accessories app opens?

Sounds like the controls are inverted. Hardcore gamers tend to prefer a control where pressing the joystick forward or up makes the character look down and vice versa. To see if this is the problem: 1)Click start, the small button in the right center of
most controllers, 2) Move the cursor to the second option "Help & Options" and press a, the green button on the right, 3) move the cursor to the third option "Controls" and click a on the controller, 4) near the middle of the screen will be a box that can
be checked called "Invert Look". If this is checked, it means moving the cursor down will make the character look up. If it is, move the cursor down one and when "Invert Look" is highlighted hit a on the controller.

Message of friend request me at for any help.
