Xbox controller started doing both up and down direction

So I actually fixed the issue with all four of my controllers knew it was a software issue obviously not stick drift because the joysticks spring back i’ve dealt with drift before and I know for a fact when the springs ware out they no longer move properly and don’t spring back into their original position so for me it was definitely not drift I figured out the issue was fixable by force updating the controllers in the

Xbox accessories app I sometimes swap back-and-forth between my consoles and apparently this can cause software issues but force updating the controllers fixes them I reported the issue to the insiders hub report a problem I put in the report that when switching between multiple devices the controllers have a tendency to bug out and receive ghost inputs

Kind regards,

My Day One Controller started to do both drift and stuttering in the opposite direction on the Left Stick. Controller number 2 seems to be okay for now and its about a year old.

You can try resetting your PDP controller. Follow these steps:

1. Power the XBOX one console on.
2. Plug the smaller end of the controllers USB-B micro cable into the top of the controller.
3. Hold down on the directional pad (D-Pad) and plug the larger side of the USB cable into the XBOX one console while still holding down.
4. The controllers red LED lights will illuminate and the controller will begin to vibrate. You may then release the down input on the directional pad (D-Pad)
5. Press A on the controller.
6. The controller will then stop vibrating and the LED lights will power off.
7. Fully rotate both joysticks in a complete clockwise motion and pull each trigger fully (LT and RT)
8. Press down on the directional pad (D-Pad)
