Xbox one S white controller Left stick Drifting Up and Down

I got my Xbox one S for Xmas i have been playing game on the console and watching youtube. I noticed recently while playing elite dangerous that my Left stick was drifting slightly causing small changes to my Ships direction and its gotten so bad that as
soon as i turn on my Xbox and start any game the Left stick is going crazy and going up or down the menu at massive speed and the same on elite dangerous while flying its gotten so bad i cant even fly straight i can't even correct it because it will then do
the same in the opposite direction its made playing game impossible. I had the same issue start on my Old Xbox one Normal controller as well but it only drifted down but before it got to bad i had got the Xbox one S but its done it now and I cant play my games
anymore its that bad

Controller issue with Left Stick

I am posting about my Xbox One controller having an issue with the Left Stick. From my viewpoint the controller seems in good condition, no buttons or sticks drifting. However, the problem is noticeable in my games. Take Horizon 3 for example: I'm driving
my car down a straight road when the controller makes my car turn slightly left. I always look at my left stick and it looks normal, no drifting whatsoever. Sometimes it does it. Sometimes the problem occurs again.

I was wondering what should I do to fix my own controller, maybe clean the internals since I can't afford another controller? Any help is appreciated.

 

Left anolog stick drifting up and down

I have had three controllers in total that do this. The day one controller. Drifts on left stick. 2nd controller i purchased so my two sons could play on games together drifted on the left stick. Microsoft replaced this and now the replacement does it
as well. The only answer that you get from MS is to buy a new controller as there warranty only runs for 90 days. The only other alternative to spending £50 is to buy a pro controller, but Bill Gates and his cronies can sod off if he thinks i'm gonna line
his pockets with £120 for a controller that possibly wont last much longer than the crappy warranty they give you with it!!!

Any answers on this MS or are you just gonna keep pulling our pants down for more money??
