Slow or no left analog forward movement in game on Xbox series controller

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

I have here steps that we can try, please perform a power cycle on your controller by following the steps below:

1. Press and hold the Xbox button for 5-10 seconds, until the controller turns off.

2. Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the Xbox button again to turn the controller back on.

If that didn't work I would like to ask if this is only happening with this specific controller? Because if yes, you may need to get it replaced.

I've dealt with this issue on 360 controllers as well. Like I said, this issue didn't crop up until that last system update... and like I said, the left analog stick sits at zero and shows no movement of the cursor in any direction. Then around 30 seconds
later, it moves forward and only forward.

personally i am not happy with the quality of the elite series controller: for such a high price it should be much more resistant. After less than 6 months mine series 1 started having stick issues (slow constant movement towards the left, alway), which
is very annoying, and after 9 months Rb button started not to work. I hope series x controller will be better quality: i would pay 20 bucks more for a better quality controller

Only issue I have had lately is my left analog stick seems to be off. Like my Red Dead online character will walk forward real slow with out touching the stick.

Tried and it made no difference, issue is with controller I believe as when I use left analog stick forward with my trigger stops engaged it will act as if I’m pulling the left trigger
