Hello, my xbox 360 controller's right joystick isn't working properly. When I turn left it is fine but when I turn right it slows down. Sometimes it does a superslow right turn. So when im playing I sometimes constantly have to turn left to get to places.
What's wrong with it?

With the Xbox 360 controller, it only sent data wirelessly. The charging cable was only used to charge rechargeable batteries on the controller, and does not send data over the wire for the controller. You would need the Xbox 360 wireless controller
adapter (usb dongle) to connect. If the 360 controller was wired natively then that would work, but the default controllers only worked wirelessly.

does the buzzing go away if you move the wire from the controller to the Xbox.

I have 2 wired controllers (a Duke and an Afterglow) and the Duke makes a buzzing sound if the wire isn't in exactly the right place.

the Afterglow doesn't make the buzzing sound but it doesn't have a Chat Mixer setting in the Xbox settings so I get game sound through the headset
