My Xbox controller stick drift

That is strange. I've only ever had stick drift on my old 360 controllers. I don't know if the standard Xbox one controllers have it, but the Xbox Elite controller sticks can be adjusted to have dead zones to avoid drift. Check in the Xbox Accessories
app if you can adjust it for normal controllers.

Have my elite controller set up and still drifts. Can't do standard controller. Did notice they drift worse on any COD.

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.

I have drift on the right stick, but my gimbal is worn, the rubber is gone and it's high mileage indeed.

For each controller you owned, was it a different stick or direction of drift? Have you considered having the gimbal replaced on one of your old controllers?

Boycotts are silly.

Stick drift is a massive issue for the Xbox One though.

I've lost 6 controllers this gen from it. That's absolutely ridiculous considering I treat my X1 controllers 1000X Better than I ever did my PS1/PS2/Xbox 360 controllers.

Never lost a single controller to stick drift up until the X1 came out, mix that in with the 60g of stick tension and you're in for an overall poor experience.

Shame this is our situation when the 360 Controller was absolutely perfect in terms of durability.
