  1. Xbox One ELITE Controller already has thumb-stick drifting..


    I bought my ELITE controller a little over two months ago, and the left anologe stick already has a drifting problem. My character is the video game either walks forword without me touching it, or in a fighting game jumps up and down. I went to the Microsoft
    store where I bought my controller from hoping to exchange it for a new one. But since the product is in such high demand, they told me to go to "myservice.xbox.com" But I just found out that you can't register controllers on that, so now I don't know what
    to do. Is there ANY way I would be able to get a new elite controller?

    :)

    Elite controller thumb stick drifting

    I have purchased my Xbox one elite bundle 1 year ago and now it's out of warranty. Few days back my elite controller thumb stick started drifting and i thought that it will be replaced for free as it is so costly but there are repairing charges for it. I
    feel I made a mistake buying it.

    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

    What's the difference between all the controllers: xbox 360, xbox 1, xbox scorpio, xbox x elite controller?

    The Xbox one and xbox one scorpio controllers function exactly the same, the only difference is the face plate (and maybe the addition of an 3.5mm jack if you have an OG Xbox one controller). The elite controller has 4 paddles on the back of the controller
    that allow you to push additional buttons without having to take your thumbs off the sticks. I got an elite controller about a year ago and haven't looked back. I did have an issue with the right stick getting drift, however I was able to fix it (it was out
    of warranty so i couldn't get it serviced).

    Elite Wireless Controller Issue

    I would not recommend buying this controller to all owners and future or even potential buyers this controller still has thumb stick drifting. I bought this controller on launch day and now as I write this the left thumb stick is drifting with out contact.
    For a controller that is $150 the quality may feel nice but don't be fooled they still use the same thumb stick modules. Here is a article if you don't believe me. www.reddit.com/.../xbox_elite_controller_and_thumbstick_drift_it

    Elite Series 2 Thumbstick Drift issue

    I've been playing Xbox ever since the early days of the Xbox 360 and quite honestly I've never had this issue with an Xbox 360 controller ever. Since I've been playing so long I figured I'd invest in a high
    quality controller. I was a bit late to the game and I missed out on the first Elite controller they released for the Xbox One so I ended up buying the second. After doing some research a common complaint about the first Elite controller was that after a while
    "Phantom Drift" or just simple controller drift was occurring in the left and right thumb stick. I purchased the Elite Series 2 controller on January 7th of this year and already I'm experiencing awful controller drift in my left thumb stick. At first, the
    drift had only gone upwards and wasn't that big of a deal to work around but it got worse. About a week later I can't even set the controller down for a minute without it starting to drift in BOTH directions. Now is there anything I can do to fix this? Is
    there a way to repair it without paying upwards of $100? The 90 day warranty is gone as well so I'm lost.
    I have exactly the same problem like a lot of others. It a problem you should get in contact with xbox support warranty or no worranty it should get replac
