Left joystick problems

Try to disconnect and reconnect the controller (wireless, wired). Tell me if this helps.

Good Luck!

Hey diamondarcher24! You will most likely need to get the controller serviced. For more information check

Hi Mage,

Thanks for your update! If you're going to clean your controller, please be sure to not open it in any way (removing screws/ prying) and to use an minimal amount of 90% isopropyl alcohol with cotton swabs or pieces with a microfiber cloth as well.

I hope this information helps.

4 years is a nice lifespan for a controller. Chances are something might have gotten under the joystick. If you contact xbox support they can give you some locations to get the controller repaired. Another option is attempting to clean the controller
yourself. YouTube has a few videos.

Thanks everyone for the help! I hope to try cleaning it before attempting to repair it. It's a lot cheaper than buying a new controller so i just want to see if it will resolve my issue.
