Left Thumbstick not registering on Xbox Elite Series 2

Hello PepeMz, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

These glitches can be a little frustrating

First connect the controller to your Xbox console or PC and check if firmware updates are available. If an update is available, follow the instructions to update the controller firmware. Firmware updates can fix compatibility issues and improve controller performance.

Then clean the joystick Sometimes the buildup of dirt, dust, or debris can affect the performance of the joystick. Use compressed air or a cotton swab lightly moistened with ********* alcohol to gently clean around the joystick and remove any dirt or debris that may be present.

Finally, calibrate the controller, try calibrating the controller in Xbox settings. Go to Settings > Devices and accessories > Your controller > Configure > Calibrate. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the controller joysticks.
Calibration can help correct problems with incorrect response or lack of registration.

Best regards.

If none of the above has worked then I recommend you request a controller repair, to do this I recommend you request the repair directly with the Xbox repair team, to do so go to this link: support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/warranty-service/getting-your-product-serviced

My first elite controller broke in the first week, the left thumbstick internal snapped, hopefully the series 2 controller is good

Each Elite controller series 2 comes with 1 set of paddles. You can order replacement paddles, thumbsticks etc.

Series 1 paddles, thumbsticks is not compatible with series 2.

Hi ,

Thanks for taking the time to ask this question here on the forums. Regarding the thumbsticks on the new Xbox Elite controller series 2, the calculations refer to actions that can be taken by the thumbsticks themselves, so it essentially the following (pardon
for the loose translations):

• Radial - based on radius of full or half-circle movements made by the thumbstick,
• Independent axis - based on the X or Y axis (up/down, L to R movement)
• True Diagonals - would mean true 90deg diagonals based on the X/Y axis

For further information regarding any settings on this particular controller, I'd recommend checking out the following support articles that can detail what can be done more explicitly:

Use the Xbox Accessories app to customize your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2  


In general, it would be a good idea to test out different settings, just to see what works best for you and makes you more comfortable in gaming with the controller.

I hope that this information helps out!

Oh okay , thank you very much for this response.
