XBOX ONE : Controller : Right Thumb Stick only registers left/right NO UP/DOWN

My xbox one controller is seemingly broken. I am able to do most actions except the right thumb stick will not go up/down. It will register left/right action. I would like to know how to confirm it is broken, is there a calibration app or something that
will give an error message?

:)

 

Add option/feature to calibrate controller analog stick to specific player and associate settings with the player's gamer tag.

We need the ability to calibrate the xbox one controller analog stick to specific players.

This would compensate for larger or smaller hands/thumbs; my fingers are long and so are my thumbs, this causes any attempt to move the thumb-stick left/right/up/down to actually move at slight angles and having this capability would compensate for that.

This could be implemented through a "controller setup" area on the consoles settings page: you could have an automated settings area asking the player to move the analog stick left, hold it there and press a then repeat the process for right, up and down.
Once left, right, up and down are known the software could determine the directions in-between (since those are all combinations of left, right, up and down).

This would also enable recalibration for controllers experiencing dead-zones and drift....

If we could calibrate the analog stick to read our left right up down as true left right up down and associate it with the player's gamer-tag, it would be a one-time setup feature that can follow a player from controller to controller and console to console....

This would truly customize gameplay, increasing player performance in first person shooters like Call of Duty, fighter games like Mortal Combat, racing games like Grand Tourismo and virtually every other genre of gaming by allowing the gamer more natural
movements.

This would also set Microsoft and Xbox further ahead of other console makers with "fixed" analog controllers and standard thumb-stick positions.

 

POS controller

Hey guys,

So I'm on my third controller for Xbox One. I got the Day One edition, and the left thumb stick and right thumb stick broke within about 2 weeks of playing Ryse: Son of Rome and Battlefield 4. Got a second controller, same thing happened to the left thumb stick
and left bumper now. I am on my THIRD controller and the left thumb stick popped out of place and I can't even click it down anymore. I never had an issue with an Xbox 360 controller and so far I've burned through three Xbox One controllers. I've called support
and they haven't helped and I'm sick and tired of spending money on something that will break within 3 weeks. Microsoft, please do something to help me. Thank you

Regards,

Mike

 

Sounds like you've already confirmed its broken , it wont go up or down......does it do this on all games and menus and dashboard ?

 

I confirm in two separate games for actions I know it should work. not sure if relevant in menus. left stick works right stick not sure if it is supposed to control anything. From your response I take it there is no software driver setting that maybe
at issue, if it doesn't work clearly a hardware failure?

 

Yep.....you will have to start a ticket on it and send it back for a new one .....THIS WILL TAKE FOREVER !!!!!.....mine has been gone since Christmas and still haven't got it back, you will probably have to buy another one if you want to use it ......

you can call support or sign in to your account and go to "manage devices" then "start a repair".......
