Xbox One Controllers Drift

Starflyer45 · Apr 11, 2017

After the latest update to the Xbox both of my controllers drift up. At first I was thinking that it was because of how hard they have been getting used. I talked to a few people in some games and family in a different state and we are all finding the same
problem. I have a third controller that we have never taken out of the box so I did to see if it was the controller. The new one has the same drift.

This has to be related to the update so please MicroSoft fix this issue.

I should be able to calibrate my controllers anyway so maybe it is time you added that feature since you are causing the drift.

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

Analogue Stick Drift - Have you had it?

I have but i tend to be hard on controllers. I have experienced drift on 360, ps3, and xbox one controllers. All controllers since they have introduced a click on the analogue sticks.

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.

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.

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.
