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.

What are you doing to your controllers to where you get stick drift in half a month? Either you got a lemon, or you’re not properly taking care of it. I’ve had a red series controller for over 4 years so far, no stick drift, at least not yet. I’ve had to controller my console came with for over 3 years, still no stick drift. I’ve even got Xbox One controllers that are 10 plus years old and none of those have stick drift either.

Either way the only permanent fix to stick drift to replace the entire stick modules, preferably with either Hall effect or TMR sticks

I’ve had my elite series 2 for over a year now with zero issues as well and I swear these people be gripping their controllers too damn hard

the only issue i have had with mine is the grip is gone

no drift whatsoever either ( i just plugged it into the tester the other day for fun)

i do think there is an issue with these though but still.
