    Xbox One Controller Drifting


    This issue makes me think twice about buying the next xbox. I've contacted support numerous times, and their helpful, but the solution is "Buy a new one". In addition, my warranty is over. Another solution was to bring my controller to the nearest microsoft
    store, which is in another state.You don't know how many in game purchases i've made on accident because of this. I have to "great" xbox controllers, both of which are faulty. In one, i cannot speak on the mic, and on the other, it is near impossible to play
    with the drift. Thorughout the years, I've loved xbox, now it may be coming to an end. Hopefully it will not Microsoft, please respond.

    :)

    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.

    I understand buying a new one is the first solution that comes to mind, but think about all the other xbox expenses. Xbox live to make games actually fun $60

    Games $60 each

    Gamertag change $10

    Controllers $60 each

    Headset over $30

    Console $400

    Kinect $100

    Do you expect the company that puts tires on your car to replace them when they go bald.

    Things wear out.

    [tagXbox One Controller Drifting :DealWithIt]

    And for the unauthorized purchases made by your possessed controller...... Yeah right.

    It is going to be less expensive and faster just to purchase a new controller. You have already received the best advice out there "buy a new one". Sorry but sometimes the truth is not the most desirable of suggestions. Happy Gaming!

    You could try cleaning around the sticks and even replace them with new ones. You will need to find away to open your controller. I suggest google it as I can't give you details on how to do it. Both my controllers have gotten loose sticks at the moment
    so a project of sorts will be happening soon with my controllers.

    they seem to be not much to them. Like the plastic is way thinner than the 360 controllers. Like you can just crush them in your hand. I can hear mine crack and feel it give alittle during gameplay.

    I recall them advertising the One controllers as better than the 360 controllers. Like, they've gone through all that testing and should last longer and all that. I don't know, the LS on my controller seems to be getting "sawed off", I expect it to start
    getting stuck any time now. And that certainly was faster than any of my 360 controllers...

    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.
