Xbox one controller Analog drift , controller not durable

KernAndrews · May 3, 2018

Good day microsoft as an xbox customer for over 10 years i am extremely disappointed with the xbox one controller. I have analog drift with 2 controllers. the one that came with the xbox as well as the replacement controller i bought. the controller i bought
as a replacement was worst in quality than the original xbox one controller.

the controller did not last 2 months before the analog started drifting. this is very frustrating as i cannot aim properly in games. making my experience unplayable. why is microsoft using such inferior materials in making these controllers?. i never had
this problem with my xbox 360 controller which lasted 3 years with no issues. i cant even get an xbox one controller to last 3 months.

Incase the reps at Microsoft dont know what i mean by analog drift. Analog drift is when your analog stick moves for itself in games continuously, throwing off your aim in first person shooters and other games that require precision input.

get your act together microsoft this is a very frustrating problem to have. and even if i buy a new controller it happens eventually to the other one as well. i cant keep buying controllers every 2 months.

Microsoft Says Xbox One S Has the Best Controller Ever Made!

I really like the XB1 controllers however they are not as durable as the 360 as my Xbox one controller has stick drift. And I've also heard people having issues with elite controllers breaking too

i feel you, i bought a brand new controller from the microsoft website, thinking like oh its not like ill buy it in walmart or a third party store. it randomly started drifting (my left joystick) and my dead zone is broken. when i go up, it stays up, when
i go down, it stays down and i literally have to press for the dead zone to go back to its original position. really damn frustrating while playing games such as fortnite.... for 80$ controller, theyre pretty **** and im thinking about getting a scuf. more
expensive but will last for years, im sick of spending money on controllers that cannot even last 1 year.

Hello "HairyLoveSpuds"

I just noticed your post now

I love Hannah Montana: The Movie video game on the Xbox 360

...........

I don't want to see this game on the Xbox 360 backwards compatibility list because for the Xbox One because the Xbox One controllers are flimsy (in my opinion, the Xbox 360 controllers are MUCH MORE durable).

The analog sticks will surely drift as they (the analog sticks) are the games primary controls.

Have a nice day or afternoon or night "HairyLoveSpuds"

@CrypticBoz - the issue of the failing analog sticks has been of public knowledge for nearly two years and they've not addressed it, in fact the Elite controllers which are being sold on the pitch that they are of superior durability and craftsmanship as
to extend its longevity when on the contrary they are actually of the same shoddy build as the original controllers as they sport the same plastic pieces on the analog module that fail as with the original controllers, this is what causes the analog sticks
to fail and to develop stick drift

@BOOGSmasterJ - the defective plastic modules on the XBO controller that cause for early wear and tear are the exact same on the Elite controller as they are on the standard controller, they use cheap plastic parts where the Xbox 360 controller used metal
(hence why the Xbox 360 controller was of superior design), the standard Xbox One controller is 50% more than a Xbox 360 controller with only a fraction of the longevity; there's a term for this in business, "planned obsolescence", there's this narrative going
around that the Xbox One Elite controller is more durable and will last longer, false, analog drift will come all the same on this Elite controller as it will on the standard, I'd give you support material like articles and videos and such to illustrate this
but the moderators here don't like that, so Private Message me if you want that stuff
