    why is my left stick spinning freely?


    Hello, I just bought an Elite series 2 custom controller from Xbox custom lab and had it for a few weeks If I unscrew it counterclockwise too much it won't move much at all like I'm tightening the stick too much. and the left thumb stick will unscrew and I don't think it is supposed to do this but when I turned it counterclockwise too much it won't move much at all like I'm tightening the stick too much. I can screw it clockwise until it stops and its fine but then it would unscrew again and be loose spinning freely especially when I am playing Rocket League and moving it too much. Why does it do this and is there a way to fix it?

    :)

    why is my left stick spinning freely?

    Hello Chillwill882986,

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community. I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Elite series 2 custom controller. It sounds like the left thumb stick is not properly secured and it is causing you trouble when playing games.



    The left thumb stick of the Elite series 2 controller is designed to be adjustable, so you can change the tension and height according to your preference. However, it should not unscrew or spin freely when you are using it. This could indicate that the thumb stick is defective or damaged.



    To fix this issue, please follow these steps:



    - Turn off your controller and remove the batteries.

    - Gently pull the left thumb stick out of the controller. You may need to use a small tool like a tweezer to do this.

    - Check the bottom of the thumb stick and the socket on the controller for any signs of wear or damage. If you see any, please contact Xbox Support for a replacement or repair.

    - If there is no visible damage, align the thumb stick with the socket and push it firmly until it clicks into place. You should feel some resistance when you do this.

    - Screw the thumb stick clockwise until it reaches your desired tension and height. Do not over-tighten it or force it beyond its limit.

    - Put the batteries back in and turn on your controller. Test the thumb stick in a game and see if it works properly.

    Gaming Gaps

    Even just trying to teach my dad how to control a FPS game was hard. He couldn't get the hang of how left stick moves the character and right stick looks around, he kept going from looking up to the ceiling to down at the floor while spinning around. This
    was one of the longest 4 hours of my life.

    I tried to teach my grandma once how to play crash bandicoot but she didnt understand why a bandicoot was able to spin so fast it could make humans fly off

    I have been through 4 effing controllers. They seem to die faster with FIFA. It's the left stick. It clicks and pops and it won't move freely. This is a class action lawsuit in the making. At $60 a controller, wtf?
