PLEASE HELP How do i unstick my 1 year old xbox series x controller

cezar abou zaki · Mar 27, 2023

So i was playing regularly and i gave the controller to my little brother so he can play. After a while, i went on to play and i found that the “x” button was sticky and it was making it very hard for me to play the game regularly as the game i play requires the x button a lot.

Is there anyway i could possibly fix my controller cuz i have had my xbox one controller for over 4 years and i have never faced such an issue with it.

NOTE: i do not want to disassemble the controller or take it apart.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Cezar, in cases like this, your controller is no longer under warranty, the ideal thing would be to send it to a specialized technical assistance that can help you.

The first thing I did was update my controller and it's still drifting on the y axis. The Xbox controller that I use for my pc that I got 7 years ago works. My 360 controllers works. The series x controller, 1.5 years old, drifts like crazy. Just outta warranty, funny how that works. 😜

I bought Xbox Wireless Elite Series 2 Controller, Here in EU (Greece) all controllers have 1 year warranty and the Series X/S consoles 2 years.

Same here, the exact same problem on my XBOX series X and S....

from 6 joysticks I have, only 2, elite 1 and and old xbox one s controller, without updated firmware, are working fine.

but all my fancy new Xbox series controllers are having this problem since past year and I was thinking the problem were my controller battery (I have the official charge and play battery on all my controllers)

hopefully they will address this soon...

What controller do you have?

Do you know if you or someone else dropped your controller to the ground?

I personally didn't have any experience with my +1 year old Xbox white controller (the one that came with the Series S) and an old (~3 years) Xbox one controller
