    Thumb stick getting stuck? I know why ,,grooves....


    Mine just started to literally get stuck ..The thumb sticks get grooves literally carved into them ..The 360 ones never did..

    I used this 360 controller for years,the one controller is 7 months old ..

    Cause for concern??I think maybe .........

    Is Xbox One Controller of Poor Quality?

    I have 3 controllers ..2 of them have the infamous drift(both left stick) and they also stick due to the grooves...

    The day one is unusable now..B button sticks and left stick drifts!

    The thumb sticks themselves are literally going to snap off one day due to the grooves being cut into them..I posted this vid before but it seems nobody else has this issue.

    Thumb stick getting stuck? I know why ,,grooves....

    I know all My 360 controllers always had a load of powder from sticks grinding away, never had grooves cut into them though. Just checked My X1 controller and it hasn't got a groove cut into it yet, to be honest though, even though I've had it since launch
    I have played the 360 alot. I'll keep an eye on it.

    Mine had it badly from playing killer instinct alot it was so deep the analog stick got torn a bit. Just sent it to microsoft. I think you should do the same because it will get worse

    Thats what i was afraid of ..

    Obviously its the type of plastic they are using so its not isolated to a few controllers ..So sending it in will only put a band-aid on the problem ..Is your new one showing signs of it again?
