Keyboard drift???

Hey Neon,

Ive had this issue a few times,

It is due to wear on the controller, like with me mine drifted due to me being heavy-handed and clumsy so dropping the controller it has caused a drift in my right thumbstick, but both sticks are connected together on the motherboard on the controller and
this is why it affects your typing on the Xbox keypad/ keyboard.

Kind regards.

Thanks for the reply, I do drop it a lot so this applies to me. Any fixes?

I'm using my Xbox One S, it's around 5 or so years old.

The IS build is 10.0.22621.2216.

I first saw the drift while playing Overwatch, but it persists across all games, and the Xbox menus and keyboard can get hard to navigate since it's registering my right joystick at the same time. Before around a year and a half ago, I didn't have any problems with my controllers.

I've purchased my controllers from a few places (Best Buy, Memory Express, Amazon)

The drift moves my joystick quite quickly compared to normal drift, where it's not very noticeable (my screen will move up to the top in less than a second). It isn't a buildup of drift, it just suddenly appears one day when I play after around half a year. It becomes more and more common the following days until I have to buy a new controller.

Sorry to hear that, please answer the following questions to assist you properly:

Is this happening only inside Minecraft or is this happening with every game?

Also, are you experiencing this on Windows 10 or 11?

Do you have installed an insider version for your system?
