My Xbox series x controller's left thumbstick is not registering the push/click function.

So, I just tested this to see:

I registered my Series X controller.

Sure enough, it said it was registered but wasn't showing up

I then clicked "see details" on my Series X entry which took me to my Series X

I then clicked "All Devices" to take me back to the previous screen and the controller then showed up.

So, not entirely sure why it won't work for you

Hello Luke,

Also if it is hidden you can push the left thumbstick in +X and will unhide any games that are hidden.

Thanks,

Brad

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

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the left thumbstick on your Xbox Series X controller. It's possible that the thumbstick is not properly calibrated or that there is some debris stuck under the thumbstick. To fix this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Calibrate the thumbstick.

2. Clean the thumbstick and the area around it. Use a soft cloth and some rubbing alcohol to gently clean the thumbstick and the area around it. This can help remove any dirt or debris that may be causing the issue.

3. Check for debris. If there is debris stuck under the thumbstick, it could be causing the thumbstick to register as being pressed when it is not. Carefully inspect the thumbstick and use a small tool, such as a toothpick or a pin, to remove any debris that you find.

4. Check the controller's firmware. Make sure that you have the latest firmware installed on your controller.

If none of these steps fix the issue, it's possible that there is a problem with the controller itself. In this case, you may need to consider sending in your controller to have it repaired/replaced.

I just recently had my xbox one controller break on me. I was pushing right on the left thumbstick, and I clicked it as well to boost right in Advanced Warfare, as soon as I clicked it I felt and heard a crack, and the thumbstick immediately felt different.
It started grinding and lost it's springyness.

I sent it in to Microsoft about a week ago, and I havn't heard from them since. Apparently I am getting a replacement. Hopefully they either do a mass recall, or fix the problem going forward so that any new controller they make has a more robust construction,
like the xbox 360 controllers.
