Yes I’m having issues bad with my Xbox controller having stuck drift on Fortnite and it’s...

Hello, and thanks for replying!

-I’m using an Xbox one S

-I’m using an Xbox Series S/X controller

-Yes I’m using this controller wirelessly

-I’ve tried resetting my console, re-syncing the controller, updating the controller and more.

-I do not have any external devices connected to my console other than the power supply

There’s a possible chance that this issue could be caused by stick drift, because when I go to the configuration and testing section of the Xbox accessories app in settings, it shows that the left control stick is being pressed even though I’m not actually pressing down on it, however I’m not entirely sure how that ties in with the whole menu browsing being fast since if I leave my controller idle it doesn’t move automatically like having stick drift would.

I’m considering opening up the controller to see if there is anything major or obvious that’s wrong with it because from the exterior there doesn’t appear to be. But if you don’t recommend me doing that then please let me know.

Thanks again for this as I haven’t had much luck elsewhere!

I've used a few controllers over the years. The only ones I've had issues with are the orginal one from 2006 that finally got stuck so the left thumbstick would drift to one direction, and one that my girlfriend spilled wine on. If you're really having that
many issues then it sounds more like you're doing something to them or you just have bad luck.

Im having an issue with my right analog stick drifting up even though my controller is not broken in anyway. "sigh" another bad product made by MS.

I am having the exact same issue with both my COD Advanced Warfare controller and the second controller I purchased at the same time...both got horribly bad with drift after the update

Hi Flea,

Yes, I’ve been receiving the same issues.

First Elite series 2 lasted the longest though still ended up with stick drift, button issues and bumper problems.

Sent off to be returned with what I’m guessing to be someone else’s restored controller with sticky bumpers and stick drift as soon as I connected the “new replacement” to my console….

Im guessing we are not the only ones with replacement issues….

Anyone?…
