    Xbox One Controller Drift Issues


    To whom it may concern at Microsoft,

    I have been having issues for many days with my Xbox One controllers. There was a drifting issue on the left analog stick. I have had several replacement controllers due to this issue. I've been looking in the forums and it appears that I am not the
    only person with this issue. The drifting has been getting worse and I can no longer use the controllers to play any games.

    Microsoft, I want to be very clear on this matter. I am holding you responsible for selling a faulty controller. In no shape or form should the solution to this issue be "buy a new controller". As I mentioned before, I have replaced it many times and found
    out there are many other Xbox One owners who's controllers are defective for the same reason as mine. I hope Microsoft contacts me soon regarding this matter. I'm sorry to say that I am very close to returning my Xbox One but I am willing to give you the
    opportunity to correct this. Please reassure me that I made the correct decision by sticking by Xbox One and that Microsoft knows how to treat their loyal customers.

    :)

    my center point keeps shifting up when scoping in also when just running. sigle player and multiplay

    Hey there.

    Not quite understanding what you mean by centerpoint. Is the controller drifting up? For steps on drifting controllers, check out our

    Xbox One Controller Troubleshooter    . Unfortunately for drifting issues, the controller would need to be repaired or replaced depending on your warranty status.

    Xbox One Controller, left stick faulting!!!

    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

    Why is the Quality of the Xbox Elite Version 2 controls bad?

    they have turned into apple, they sell inferior cheap tack at a premium price.

    I have seen loads and loads of posts about stick drift on a lot of new controllers, not just elite.

    Best thing is i have three xbox one s controllers, all with drift on the left thumbstick, seems to be an issue when you click it in repeatedly for running in games it then gets drift very quickly. (mainly drifting up)

    I bought a power A controller with two rear buttons and low and behold no drift even after three months of use.

    Sensitivity on controller to high

    Most games have individual sensitivity settings but I've never heard of anyone having issues in the dashboard unless you're controller is faulty. Sounds like you may have some very severe stick drift.
