“Stick Drift no more!!! Thanks to Xbox insiders FINALLY releasing Calibration App for...

Hey guys your prob going to want to read this if you have stick drift issues on your Elite Series 2 controller!!! Especially if you’re an Xbox Insider! I highly recommend reading this if you have stuck issues or the “A” button that doesn’t always work!!! (This is a NEW way to fix stick drift, for most of us, and saving us a trip to sending it to Microsoft like I almost did) Especially if you’re an Xbox Insider!

Xbox insider recently released a Calibration setting in the Xbox Accessories App for Elite controllers!!!! Originally only PC had this!! Now we do! It actually works unless you have Bad sticks! Either way this helps it! You lr also able to see when rotating the sticks if your sticks have a numb spot (where your controller stick doesn’t completely stay on the deadzones the whole time while rotating it)

But holy crap what a difference! The stick drift is totally gone both sticks! And my elite series 2 controller was NEVER this smooth or responsive at ANY angle of both thumbsticks when I even bought it brandnew (8 months ago)! Dont get me wrong when my controller was branded new the sticks didn’t even have any play/looseness to it until broken in!

***However there was one step I didn’t mention before, I simply took and popped off the front face plate, I used my air gun (light air pressure!!! If you don’t have an air compressor then just buy a can of compressed air!!) and blew out anything underneath both sticks and the rest of the controller! Specifically also the “A” button!!! Everyone usually has this issue on elite series 2 controllers. It’s just dust underneath the membrane!! So lightly blow out those buttons and I fixed the “A” button but most importantly after blowing out UNDERNEATH the thumbsticks… I then went back to the Accessories App on console and went to the New Calibration tool setting and Recalibrated both sticks again!

STICK DRIFT IS TOTALLY GONE, However… since it’s a NEW program and still in Xbox insiders, you may have to repeat Calibration a few times in order for it to work and get rid of stick drift!! -let me just say this, I didn’t have Horrible stick drift but it wasn’t light either! For a comparison example…. Specifically in halo infinite controller settings, I have to set the left thumb stick deadzone’s to about 6 and about 5 for the right stick. When my controller was brandnew I was able to set it to 2 for both deadzones!!***

Between removing the faceplate and blowing out thumbstick, buttons and everything else and then recalibrating the controller in the Accessories app my Elite 2 is actually better then it was brandnew! It’s so smooth and responsive now with no dead spots (when aiming thumbsticks around, sometimes it doesn’t reach the outer dead zones completely) I have no need to ship it out to service anymore! -Remember if your an insider then you have access to this new recalibration tool, it will make a difference no matter what, you may have to repeat it a few times but it works and adjusts!!! But if you also pop off the faceplate and lightly blow out everything then I’d say you have a 60% chance of fixing stick drift or reducing it enough where you no longer need to send it out for service!!!
