Xbox Elite Drift Stick

BeIux · Aug 4, 2016

I bought my controller a couple months ago. My left stick drifts up without me touching it. I cant seem to find any help. Costumer service hung up on me 5 times already. Does the Xbox elite come with any warranty? Is there anyway to fix this?

Xbox Elite Controller thumbstick drift

same.

my 1st elite: crash gumi grips. send back to service, but i buy a new one for this 2 week. Try this new: right stick drift to right...

ok, my 1st elite came back, try this. left stick drift to right (fresh new controller from ms service)

ok i sent back this 2 broken Elites.

1-2 week done, get 2 new fresh Elites... tested... both new Elite's (my 3rd and 4th) left sticks drift to right...

my last 5 Elites broken, 3 fresh from Xbox Support. Thats a big joke.

Elite controller repair w/ console xbox-x warranty

Hi,

I got an xbox-x scorpio edition and I just realized the warranty came with an elite controller repair?

I got an elite controller that is now experiencing stick drift. The left stick drifts upwards in games.

The bumpers had also been repaired once already.

My main issue is: the sticker with all that info. has been taken off... and the online form doesn't seem to let me proceed further without a PID number?

Please advise.

The accessories for the xbox typically have a 90 day warranty although it may be longer in some regions. You should be able to log in here
Xbox One Support | Xbox 360 Support | Xbox Live and Billing Support and scroll down to the "repair and service center" link to get the process started. Good Luck!!

That is strange. I've only ever had stick drift on my old 360 controllers. I don't know if the standard Xbox one controllers have it, but the Xbox Elite controller sticks can be adjusted to have dead zones to avoid drift. Check in the Xbox Accessories
app if you can adjust it for normal controllers.

Have my elite controller set up and still drifts. Can't do standard controller. Did notice they drift worse on any COD.

Deadzones aren't really intended to fix stick drift. Stick drift is a fault that needs repairing.

And the customisation is another reason to buy the Elite. They need to make it different from the standard controller.

I have two original elite controllers and one pf the new elite 2 controllers that I got my son for Christmas. They all have drift issues with the left sticks. I hd thought it would be addressed with the new version, but I guess not. Please help
make this right.

Unfortunately, stick drift seems all too common in this current generation on Xbox, on PS4, and even on Switch. I wonder if it's because so many games use the sticks at buttons as well, which is leading to extra pressure being exerted? I've lost many controllers
to stick drift, and looking at the forums and reddit, a lot of people are complaining about stick drift issues from day one with the Elite series 2. Fingers crossed that Xbox can address the issue for everybody affected by it.
