    Xbox One Controller Drifting


    Hello,

    Recently my Xbox One controller started to malfunction. The left thumbstick drifts up and down when countering to correct the problem. I've tried to contact via chat but no one has responded. I would greatly appreciate some sort of response to restore confidence
    in the support team.

    Thank you,

    TK

    :)

    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.

    controller drift

    That is strange. I've only ever had stick drift on my old 360 controllers. I don't know if the standard Xbox one controllers have it, but the Xbox Elite controller sticks can be adjusted to have dead zones to avoid drift. Check in the Xbox Accessories
    app if you can adjust it for normal controllers.
    Have my elite controller set up and still drifts. Can't do standard controller. Did notice they drift worse on any COD.

    Xbox series X controller keeps drifting up

    I just got a Xbox controller for Christmas. And as soon as I connected it to my Xbox it had drift on the right joystick. I opened the controller right from the box and didn’t get any dust of anything like that near it but still it drifts. I wanted a new Xbox controller because my old controller had drift. Crazy how out of the box it already has drift.
