Xbox One Elite Controller (Drift Issues)

ECAST GAMES · Jan 16, 2017

Recently I experienced drift problems on my xbox one elite controller. On the right analog stick it keeps moving forward and it's annoying when playing shooters because it messes with my aim. Has anyone experienced this problem? If so, is there a way to
fix it without buying a new one or sending the elite controller to xbox to fix it without being charged so much? Help!

Microsoft Says Xbox One S Has the Best Controller Ever Made!

I really like the XB1 controllers however they are not as durable as the 360 as my Xbox one controller has stick drift. And I've also heard people having issues with elite controllers breaking too

Xbox One Elite Controler Stick drift

Hello,

My Xbox One Elite Control drifts up (left stick) it's making the controller unusable. How so I start the process for a Warranty replacement?

Thanks

Hey ECAST GAMES! For repair, you will want to send the controller in to ensure it is repaired properly. You can start that process by contacting support

here. Thanks!

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 have two original elite controllers and one pf the new elite 2 controllers that I got my son for Christmas. They all have drift issues with the left sticks. I hd thought it would be addressed with the new version, but I guess not. Please help
make this right.

Unfortunately, stick drift seems all too common in this current generation on Xbox, on PS4, and even on Switch. I wonder if it's because so many games use the sticks at buttons as well, which is leading to extra pressure being exerted? I've lost many controllers
to stick drift, and looking at the forums and reddit, a lot of people are complaining about stick drift issues from day one with the Elite series 2. Fingers crossed that Xbox can address the issue for everybody affected by it.

I totally can feel the OP's pain.

I've gone through 3 Xbox One controllers (one being an Elite) with stick drift issues.

The stick drift happened outside of the warranty period - so I was basically SOL.

Good luck to those who bought these at launch and "haven't had any issues with it". It's just a matter of time before you guys experience stick drift.
