Not possible to register a xbox one controller

Buy a new one. You can't register a controller. Warranty is 90 days I believe.

Since the controller was bought second hand, it could be possible the previous owner still has the controller register to his account. I believe you can only have a controller registered to one account.

Hello,

What you need to do is register your console at

Once registered you can go ahead and select replace an accessory, in which you will find an option for a controller.

You then send your controller off and they dispatch a new one (possibly refurbished) as soon as they receive the broken one.

Thank you for the reply. But it is asking for an XBox console to register but I don't have one. Is there a way to register just the controller?

all my Xbox One controllers have suffered from stick drift and erratic buttons (sometimes they don't register, other times they register multiple presses)

I bought a wired 360 pad to play games on my PC years ago (the game was Juiced2 HIN to give an idea of how long ago) and that pad is still 100% with no drift and buttons functioning as intended, but a few months playing Forza Horizon 3 or 4 is enough to
wear out an Xbox One controller.

if it was possible, I'd use the wired 360 pad with the One, but sadly that isn't an option for some reason.
