  1. Left stick on controller acting strange


    My Xbox Series X controller was plugged in, and when I pressed forward on the analog stick, it felt like my character was getting stuck. Movement was slow for about a second before returning to normal. I tested the controller using a game controller tester, and it seems like the stick isn’t registering input correctly. The first half of the forward motion feels fine, but then it stops increasing around 70%, and suddenly jumps to 100%. I’ve already updated the controller’s firmware, but the issue persists. I can’t open the controller since I don’t have the right tool, but the analog stick doesn’t feel sticky or physically damaged

    Xbox one controller failures

    We have 3 X1 controllers drift forward between me and my son, all left stick drift forward. Pretty sure it's from playing games where sprint is assigned to the left stick. The army camo controller only lasted about a month. Strange thing is, my day one 2013
    controller is still fine.

    Anyway, I use to get through 360 controllers at a similar rate, only difference was the left sticks drifted left on those.

    Hi JackBerlin! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    If the sticks are acting strange, you don't need to replace the sticks removable parts, you need to request a controller replacement as the part that will be the problem are in the controller, the accessories on the controller have a cost if you need to get more
