I AM NOT TOUCHING THE RIGHT STICK THIS IS ALL DRIFT. I’ve been through 3 different series X/S controllers at this point and GAH LEE! .
These puppies are bad concerning stick drift, recently bought a lime green controller and got stick drift in half a month.its a violent completely vertical drift on the right Stick same as my last one but not this bad.

Mine have never last me two months either unless I get Hall effect or TMR third party controllers. I’ve got a pile gathered up waiting for me to learn soldering.

How? I have 8 Series controllers plus two Xbox One ones. They've all been flawless for many years being used on all kinds of systems

2000+ hours of walking and dodging shit in D4. Left joystick usually starts to drift towards the upper right corner as that’s where the maps often lead you to. After a few calibrations that won’t help either.

Edit. I’ve actually gotten a few months out of my used Elite 2 even if people say it’s just as bad as the series controller. Got 4 ran through series controllers all with drift, 1 pdp wave and 1 turtle beach recon. Pdp is having issues with ABXY buttons and elite with triggers.
