Xbox One control Drifting up

Hi,

I've got an Xbox One controller which when I move up on the analogue stick it continues to move up even when I take my hand of the analogue stick. The only way to then stop this is to move the analogue stick in a different direction.

It's causing problems as on games I'm having to run backwards to stop myself moving.

What are the causes for this, and the possible solutions to fix it?

Regards,

Declan

Controller analogue drift

thought it was just me but then saw this
Xbox One gamers reporting stick-drift problems with their controllers

my right analogue stick behaves like its being pushed up slightly all the time. luckily i have a second one but its totally unusable. Anyone else have this?

 

Controller analogue drift

Same has happened to both of my controllers. One on the left stick, one on the right. Both think they're being pushed slightly forward, and then once I move them they're ok again for a while.

I've tried resetting and re-syncing them etc. Not sure if it's a controller or console issue.

Did you do anything about yours?

 

Which type of controller is this?

And could you, in Settings, check to see if there is a firmware update for the controller? If so, apply that and see if it helps at all.

Let us know how you get on.

 

Its an old style control, bought on the day of release.

I'll try this when I get home and let you know.

Thanks.

 

I am having the same issue with my right joystick I've done everything as far as troubleshooting including hard resetting console applying controller updates and have called Xbox support 3 times to only be til I have to buy a new controller which to me is
wrong because the controller is in mint condition never been dropped or misused in any way I've done all of research and this seems to be a big topic and on many threads it seems Xbox knows of tho issue but does not want to replace the faulty product in my
experience I know companies that realize they have sent out a faulty product they recall It and fix the issue I've never had to rant about something with Microsoft I use all of their products including my phone but after being hung up on by Xbox support multiple
times im a little bit angry considering I've been a customer for 7 years and deserve some type of quality help regarding my issues

 

Typically when a controller get stick drift the best thing to do is replace the controller.

If it is still under warranty you can sent it in for repair/replacement

Good Luck!

 

Well its not under warranty and Xbox isn't willing to fix it that's my issuei would gladly do what I needed to so I don't have to spend 60$ on a new controller its not right my 360 never had an issue like this

 

Im getting drift on my second controller which I bought to replace my controller that came with the console, exact same issue on both. There surely is a fix for this because there is no way I am buying a third controller. My 360 controllers lasted years
for crying out loud!

 

After doing an update on my xbox one wireless controller, which was necessary so that I couldon't use my new headset, the left analogue stick is drifting up which has made it almost impossible to play any games. How can I fix this issue or get a replacement
controller.

 

The 3D Analog Joystick Stick Sensor Module Potentiometer is broken. Mine broke just few weeks ago and there is not much to do. You might try to clean the stick from inside and hope it would work later.

There is plenty YouTube videos for this.

More complex way is to open the controller, desolder broken stick and replace it with new one. I'll do this 'coz otherwise I would just lose 50€.

Of course if its still under warranty, use it.
