Series X Controller having stick drift issues. Warranty shows being expired before the...

I totally can feel the OP's pain.

I've gone through 3 Xbox One controllers (one being an Elite) with stick drift issues.

The stick drift happened outside of the warranty period - so I was basically SOL.

Good luck to those who bought these at launch and "haven't had any issues with it". It's just a matter of time before you guys experience stick drift.

if the controllers are out of warranty then there are video tutorials on youtube showing how to take apart and repair the stick drift (but they do require some skill in soldering and require special tools to take the controller apart)

have a look in your local area for a game/computer shop that does repairs as that is probably the best option if the warranty has expired

Hey, I have the same issue too! I have been buying the new Xbox Series X/S controllers for 2 years now, and every time after the warranty expires, the controller start drifting. I just bought a new controller almost a month ago, and now the same issue comes back again. I guess the controllers can’t handle me being good at Fortnite. I have had older controllers, and they never had the same issue. This has been a continuous issue, it makes me want to switch to mouse and keyboard.

I am having the same issue! its sad mine started happening 5 months later and the warranty is expired..... stick drift on the right and my left stick is delayed moving forward....

Maybe you’re just incredibly rough with your controllers. My controllers last around 2-3 years before stick drift and I even have an OG One controller with no drift... if they falter within the 3 month warranty then I suggest claiming your warranty.
