Xbox Series S Controller Upward drifting

clarencejohnson2 · Apr 22, 2021

Hello I been having problems with my controller looking up all the time and the controller is new and I play games like destiny 2 and minecraft and it gets hard to move around when its like that. So is there a way I can get it fixed or I can fix it or I can send it to back to get it fixed because this is really a problem.

Hope you're doing great today despite this DWAYNESORTON

May I know if you tried cleaning the controller stick carefully with isopropyl alcohol?

If the issue persists and just to cover the possibility. Is this happening wirelessly and wired?

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

Hello everyone

.........

From MY experience with Xbox controllers, the Xbox 360 seems to be built much tougher than the Xbox One controllers (not Xbox One S controller).

..........

At the moment, my Right Analog Stick is beginning to drift upwards on its own

..........

Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone
