Xbox one controller analog drift

The Ghetto Byrd · Jan 8, 2016

My xbox one controller recently started having this issue where the right analog seems to be moving automatically. It effects my gameplay experience when running NHL as my players stay still, but more importantly it just started happening only bought it
a short while ago 6 months. Is there some sort of fixes i can run on it? I have run the headset updates on it. Wondering if there is anything else i can do.

Xbox one controller Analog drift , controller not durable

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.

There is not much that can be done for stick drift. If it is over 90 days old then it is out of warranty and the best thing to do is buy a new one. Probably not what you wanted to hear. Good Luck!

Hi there !

If you are continuing to experience the controller drift issue and haven't already, I recommend trying the following steps:

Make sure that your controller has fresh batteries and that your controller is updated.

Press and hold the power button on your Xbox One console for 10 seconds.

Once your console is powered off, unplug the power cord.

Wait 5 minutes and then plug in your console.

Power on your console and try resyncing the controller to your console again.

Hello everyone

I just replaced the Xbox One controller that came with my Kinectless Xbox One bundle yesterday so it lasted me 8 months.

The left analog stick wasn't very responsive to Destiny's click it down to run function and the right analog stick was drifting up (making it hard for me to snipe without having to compensate for the up drift).

Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone

I find it a bit funny that people look back on the 360 controller so fondly. Sure I didn't have any that just stopped working completely but I did have 2 with broken mic jacks and a bunch with drifting analog sticks.

The early 360 white controllers were good but they cheeped out later on and produced junk analog sticks that would only last a few months before they would start drifting.

I'm fine with the X1 controller but the analog sticks seem to still be prone to drifting. They need to beef the analog sticks up but I don't see that happening it's a way for them to sell more controllers.

Something very very strange is going on here, and I suspect that this was all planned !

Xbox One controller analog drift is happening to lots and lots of us, most problems aren't reported because the users just dumps the controller and buys a new one.

Now to fix this analog drift that suspiciously keeps happening to all models of controllers, you can purchase a ' Joystick Axis Analog Sensor Module Replacement ' from Ebay ( Hong Kong ) .. so as you can see there are more after sales.

If you think this is a mistake in design, think again, this is a disgraceful attempt to make more money from customers after they have already purchased their console and controllers.

Hello everyone

.........

From MY experience with Xbox controllers, the Xbox 360 seems to be built much tougher than the Xbox One controllers (not Xbox One S controller).

..........

At the moment, my Right Analog Stick is beginning to drift upwards on its own

..........

Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone

My left analog has been drifting since stereo headphone update...

Day one controller also. Devastated. Surely the controller isn't broken?

I have barely used it.
