xbox insider thumb stick recalibration issue

Since the Xbox One does not support recalibration of the Xbox One controller your stick will keep drifting, this is a hardware and not a software issue. Through friction the sensitive parts inside the stick mechanism shift/move/wear out giving it a false
reading which makes it drift.

It has been suggested on the feedback website so if you vote maybe this feature will be added in the future

If you use it on pc you can just keep using it, you just have to recalibrate the sticks, as this is compensated by the software on your pc this will not carry over to your xbox

The only solution is to send it off to repair, but it might be better to buy a new one

It took me a while to adjust, but now that I have, a regular Xbox controller doesn't feel right after spending a couple weeks with the Elite 2.

I'm using the middle thumb stick tension for both thumb sticks. For my right thumb stick I changed the settings from Default to Instant. I have the left thumb stick set to the middle tension as well with the settings at Smooth.

I have two controllers BOTH with drift issues. The one left thumb-stick drifts upwards and the other one has a right thumb-stick drift issue that drifts upward.

Like what the heck am I suppose to do. #SMH

How is that not a defect? The whole thumb stick is altering postion inside the controller casing, but the other stick is fine and doesn't do it, also my day one controller (before I sent it off to get "repaired") didn't do that in either thumbstick

I believe i'm experiencing the same issue. I was playing Forza Motorsport 5 and pressing the left thumb stick right, seemed fine, but when pressing left on the thumb stick my car would swerve as is the sensitivity was on full.
