Xbox elite series 2 thumbstick drift issues

Thanks for posting this, i hope you get some closure to the controller issue

Oh man, I am seeing the same issue. Bought the series 2 controller as a gift for my son. It's been a nightmare trying to get in touch with someone.

that's bummer, i understand my normal xbox controller drifting, but elite series?

I've been playing Xbox ever since the early days of the Xbox 360 and quite honestly I've never had this issue with an Xbox 360 controller ever. Since I've been playing so long I figured I'd invest in a high
quality controller. I was a bit late to the game and I missed out on the first Elite controller they released for the Xbox One so I ended up buying the second. After doing some research a common complaint about the first Elite controller was that after a while
"Phantom Drift" or just simple controller drift was occurring in the left and right thumb stick. I purchased the Elite Series 2 controller on January 7th of this year and already I'm experiencing awful controller drift in my left thumb stick. At first, the
drift had only gone upwards and wasn't that big of a deal to work around but it got worse. About a week later I can't even set the controller down for a minute without it starting to drift in BOTH directions. Now is there anything I can do to fix this? Is
there a way to repair it without paying upwards of $100? The 90 day warranty is gone as well so I'm lost.

I have exactly the same problem like a lot of others. It a problem you should get in contact with xbox support warranty or no worranty it should get replac

Yup, at the moment of me typing this my controller is just speed scrolling through the menu and i'm not even touching it. I've taken good care of it as well so I'm shocked it happened especially with this kind of controller. Do you know how much Microsoft
would charge to repair it?
