Since the new update, all my controllers have drift issues

I dont know if it was a game related bug but the only game I saw drift was Borderlands 3, si far all my controllers are good.

Well 95% of my games are unaffected.. It's mostly in menus. An example, playing BO4 is not affecting gameplay. When not touching any stick or buttons nothing moves 😀But as soon as a match is over and the main menu appears it becomes a major issue. Even
customizing weapons or changing settings is a major headache since my left stick drifts in all directions..

Simply touching the stick by very gently just putting a finger on the top it immediately stops drifting.. So it's a matter of micro millimeters deadzone adjustment and this issue would be completely gone again 😉

Tried Forza Horizon 4, no stick drifting affects the game itself, I believe many games have increased deadzone configurations already to prevent this common issue from affecting gameplay.

I might add that here atm while I type this message in edge with the controller I've major annoying trouble with drifting..

I had the same issue as well. Never had thumbstick drift until the newest console update. I haven't resynced it yet but I did hard reset. It looks like it might have helped.

I'm happy to see that it isn't just me.. I remember a few years back I was frustrated since I bought new controller every second month...

I swore I could fix this myself within 5 minutes if I was working at microsoft, simply by adding a minor increased "dead zone" to the sticks. Since something breaks in the controllers nearly within just weeks after purchase. It would save us all from a lot
of headache and money spent for nothing

Yeah, next update fixed all of my controllers.. LoL 😀

Someone at microsoft apparently read my mind 😉

The fun lasted a few years untill last week.

I hope they add a setting so we can adjust this manually within the config app..

I can't understand why they just don't release a quick fix since it's not nice when it drifts in all directions

Hi,

Please try to reset your console. Reset the OS and delete all potentially corrupted data without deleting your games or apps. To do this go to Settings>>System>>Console Info>>Reset Console>>Reset and
keep games and apps.

Hope this helps!

You would have to update your controller through settings in accessories.
