My right joystick keep saying it’s pushed down even when I’m not touching it

Okay, I tested it. If I barely move the joystick, it won't do anything, but it's such a miniscule dead-zone, it's not really worth mentioning; no game would ever need to be that sensitive. The only reason it's there in the 1st place is because the bottom
plastic edge of the joysticks have to move down (as you push the joystick up, down, left, or right) to touch the sensor inside of the controller to activate the signal so that it knows you're moving the joystick - that's all; that would be true for ANY controller.

Joystick drifting is where movement is being detected by the controller even when you are not touching the joystick.

Hi there welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Unfortunately, we are not Microsoft employees we are gamers just like you, I totally understand the frustration, my elite series 2 started malfunctioning after 1 month of use, had it replaced with the warranty, seeing that this is no option for you I could suggest using compressed air (it has different names on different parts of the world) it's electronic friendly and has heloed me with my joystick issues!

Do you know Compressed Air can fix a joystick that tracks wrong. Like I mentioned my joystick tracks when I push up-left it somehow track down-left. I also have one that when I push down, then push up it tracks a slow deadzone and I just tip-toe in-game ruining my fps experience. I don't have a problem with my joystick drift I wouldn't say. I have a problem with the joystick tracking the right movement.

Hi

From what you are describing it sounds like you may need to send your controller for repair using the link below or purchase a new controller.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Please see a well detailed guide on how to troubleshoot the Xbox Wireless Controller here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

If that doesn't help with the issue, you will need to send the device to Microsoft for a service repair/replacement. You can see how to do that here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

If the controller is still under warranty, the repair/replacement is free. If the warranty has expired, it will cost you a fee depending on the type of controller you own. You can check out Microsoft's out of warranty service cost here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

Hope this helps!
