Xbox Controller Left joystick constantly pushed down even when I don't push down on it.

N0 N0T THE BEES · Dec 7, 2016

My Xbox One controller's left joystick thinks I'm pushing down on it constantly, on the Pop-up Keyboard, the Caps Lock button is being pushed down, and I can't press X to backspace, or Y to space. I have to manually go to it on the keyboard
to do the action. When I'm in a car in Gta 5, the horn is constantly Honking. I've tried to stop it by Restarting the console, or pressing Caps lock myself, but nothing stops it. If anyone knows what to do that would be a big help. On the pic, my "cursor"
is on q, and the caps lock is being pressed by itself. If anyone knows what to do that would be a big help!

Problems with Rainbow Six Vegas Controls

So I started playing Rainbow Six: Vegas last night and am finding the controls difficult to get used to. The fact that you have to hold the left trigger down to stay in the cover pose makes my finger cramp. Then trying to keep the cover button pushed down along with moving my guy where I want to go is very frustrating. I also don't like pushing the left joystick down to use the scope.

This is my first Tom Clancy game so maybe this is par for the course. Does it get better the more you play?

Broken Xbox One Controller

My Xbox One controller's left analog stick is making a click sound when I push down on it, and move it to right. It doesn't make a noise If I push it to the left, up or down. Is this normal or should I buy a new controller?

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Please see a well detailed guide on how to troubleshoot the Xbox Wireless Controller here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

If that doesn't help with the issue, you will need to send the device to Microsoft for a service repair/replacement. You can see how to do that here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

If the controller is still under warranty, the repair/replacement is free. If the warranty has expired, it will cost you a fee depending on the type of controller you own. You can check out Microsoft's out of warranty service cost here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

Hope this helps!

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.

One of the things that irritates me is accidentally turning on eagle vision while fighting. I am constantly pushing the left stick down. I don't remember that being a problem in previous games.

Hi there welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Unfortunately, we are not Microsoft employees we are gamers just like you, I totally understand the frustration, my elite series 2 started malfunctioning after 1 month of use, had it replaced with the warranty, seeing that this is no option for you I could suggest using compressed air (it has different names on different parts of the world) it's electronic friendly and has heloed me with my joystick issues!

Do you know Compressed Air can fix a joystick that tracks wrong. Like I mentioned my joystick tracks when I push up-left it somehow track down-left. I also have one that when I push down, then push up it tracks a slow deadzone and I just tip-toe in-game ruining my fps experience. I don't have a problem with my joystick drift I wouldn't say. I have a problem with the joystick tracking the right movement.
