Xbox Series 2 Controller - Drift After 4 Months... Conveniently out of warranty

I feel your pain. I got mine for Christmas, and about 6 months in, I got stick drift. So I reached out to Warranty and Repair, and they approved it to be shipped back in and they replaced it. After shipping it, it took about 2 weeks to get a new controller
back.

Unfortunate that stick drift is a common thing these days, but that's what I did to handle my Series 2 controller.

I have the same issue. My BRAND NEW elite series 2 controller started drifting. I went to put in a warranty claim just found out that it is already out of warranty! I only have had it for 4 months and of course there is no way to speak with a human being
in order to get the help you need!!!! Total BS Microsoft

Maybe you’re just incredibly rough with your controllers. My controllers last around 2-3 years before stick drift and I even have an OG One controller with no drift... if they falter within the 3 month warranty then I suggest claiming your warranty.

My xbox one series 2 controller has the same issue and what do you know 94 days later 4 days out of warranty im sorry but a controller over 200 bucks and it breaks almost immediately

If you're from the UK you will have 12 months warranty.

I'm going to roll with any new ones will drift unfortunately. Even the newest number 2 series 2 elite replacement i got day before warranty went out it drifted day 1 and nothing was done if the work order other than me paying. My daughters brand new blue colored controller drifted day 1 out of box. Firmware update helped then 2nd update said sike you thought and back to drift.
