Why is my Xbox One controller joystick locking in place when pushed all the way to one side?

Hi there! I am sorry to hear about what happened.

Unfortunately, we do not support self-repairs here in the community. I am afraid we cannot further assist you here regarding this matter.

Thank you for your understanding.

Self repair of anything Xbox is not allowed on these forums, and as such, we cannot help you.

I have tried 2 different adaptive controllers and two different adaptive joysticks. I put the adaptive joystick into hard foam (that I cut a notch into, then put the adaptive controller in the slit-where the density of the foam made the sides push in from
left and right to steady the adaptive controller & hold in place) to put in bottom, so one side of tape would stick to wedge and other to controller, so it's locked into place. I use my toe on the adaptive joystick and hand on Elite controller w/LT and LB
triggers. Biggest, most Massive messed up issue is PDP (manufacturer of adaptive joystick) or Xbox's
adaptive controller does not support the thumb stick click
function...which is WORTHLESS. If I use my right toe, my left foot is bricked from tone too, which leaves my right hemisphere to do al functions. I just need the joystick to click to sprint but apparently MS did not consult w/people
that have the need for this. The only people I see this helping are kids w/parent via copilot. They just need to fix or add a clickable adaptive thumb stick to have sprint....but I'm pretty sure they won't invest the small capital to fix this glaringly outrageous
oversight.

I didn't see in my adaptive configuration screen an option to allow the left usb of the adaptive controller to act as shift button when I went into the app on my xbox. I play FPS shooters, so shift key will not allow me to play the game at all. Just pass
on this sensible feature that should've come with the controller/joystick to whomever designed this thing so atrociously.

Happens to me all the time. The jack in the controllers really suck. Unplug it, then push it in slowly until you hear a crackle in the headset, then push it in all the way even slower. Takes a few tries. Sometimes you only get sound on one side.

Okay, I tested it. If I barely move the joystick, it won't do anything, but it's such a miniscule dead-zone, it's not really worth mentioning; no game would ever need to be that sensitive. The only reason it's there in the 1st place is because the bottom
plastic edge of the joysticks have to move down (as you push the joystick up, down, left, or right) to touch the sensor inside of the controller to activate the signal so that it knows you're moving the joystick - that's all; that would be true for ANY controller.
