    Xbox Elite Series 2 controller left analog stick drift


    The left analog stick on my Elite Series 2 controller is beginning to act a bit wonky, especially on menu screens. I play Destiny 2 predominantly and on the equipment screens when I try to move the cursor over items, the movement is slightly delayed after manual input on the stick. Also, the cursor continues to move for a short time after the stick is released causing the cursor to overshoot the intended item. Is this a hardware or software issue and how do I get it fixed? This controller is relatively new and, less than a year, and wasn't exactly cheap. The sticks on my older controllers which have much more use and suffered way more abuse still work perfectly. Any ideas or help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    :)

    Drift with Elite controllers

    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.

    My elite series 2 design lab controller broke after 2 weeks of use. Will Microsoft fix the controller I send them or replace it altogether?

    Typically they just send you a whole new unit while they refurb the old if possible. They should replace it with the same colors too. Keep in mind though that the Elite Series 2 controller is VERY notorious for left stick drift unfortunately.
