    Xb1 controller left analog stick drift


    Hi, for some time now I have had a problem with my left analog stick on my day one edition wireless controller. It keeps drifting upwards and i have seen that some people have had the same problem. It was not that bad at first but got progressively worse
    as weeks past. Now my Xbox is unplayable as it just prevents me from playing anything without me accidentally scraping or selling some items on games and basically makes my Xbox useless. I no longer have a warranty as I bought this xox 2-3 years ago and I
    followed some people's tips online by applying rubbing alcohol to the analog stick to remove moisture and it worked for a very small period of about ten minutes. I then opened up the controller and followed other tips to find the problem but I could not find
    it some. Some one told be its to do with something about the x and y axis sensors in the analog stick and said that I should unsolder and replace them but I chose not to further complicate and damage the controller more. I probably have gone against the warranty
    opening it up, but is there way I could fix this? I literally have no money to spare as I just bought a laptop for sixth form and that's the money I have been saving for years. Controllers for the Xbox are pretty expensive, I mean I would love to have it replaced
    and I could pay some of the cost but I just can't afford it. Any help would be much appreciated including any tips on how I can fix it. Thank you for your timeXb1 controller left analog stick drift :)

    Your only option is to either get your controller repaired or purchase another one. If it is not under warranty then your will probably be better off purchasing a new one. I know you don't want to but if your are going to play then you have to decide.

    Day One controller thumsticks drifting

    I am having the same problem. My left analog stick is drifting up, and it is getting worse, almost to the point where I can't control it. Microsoft needs a fix, nothing is broken in the controller, seems like a calibration is needed. Is there a way to
    recalibrate the analog sticks?

    Xbox ONE controllers are poorly manufactured :(

    called analog / stick drift.... it will happen... all my 360 controllers did this... considering the left stick is the most used... and chances are you play games that rely heavily on this stick... (FPS).. no wonder that one function will wear down over
    time

    The cursor for my xbox one is skipping when i use my controler

    So i just read another forum of a similar question/problem and their controller had a drift that caused a fast scrolling option on there console and im thinking that could be the underlying cause of my issue as i know that my main controller has a drift with the r3 analog stick and it drifts towards the left. Thoughts?
