Completely agree. My 2005 360 controllers lasted till retirement. 2018 ish. In 5 years our house has suffered drift issues on all 5. Definitely worth buying an extended warranty.

I bought a $70 one on Amazon a month ago and I am now watching this video 💀💀

I watched this video at work and tried it when I got home. It worked. I was nervous about taking my controller apart but I didn't want to spend 60 bucks. Like i said it worked. Thank you for the video.

I have never really dealt with Xbox controllers in the past have drift, but both of my Series X controllers have had this problem. Makes me wonder what was done differently when building these.

Came for Helped 😮... My Xbox Series X Controller always drifts on me on Madden

I don't remember having any drift on the many Xbox360 controllers I had on the last decade. But since Xbox One, it's been a plague to me. Xbox One S: drift after two years, had to pay for repair. Good since then, four years of very little use. PS4: four years using, no drift. Xbox Series #1: drift after two months. Fixed by warranty. Good since then, three years of heavy use. Xbox Series #2: drift after three years. On the shelf, still broken. So all my three Xbox controllers since last gen were broken by drift at some point, this is just ridiculous. These controllers are expensive. If they won't fix this design flaw, at least there should be a lifetime warranty against drift or something on these lines.

@PetrisonRocha

Жыл бұрын

The One S drift started to return. I believe it never went away tbh, I just wasn't using it because I had the Xbox Series #2 until a few weeks ago and it's still not as severe as it once was. So for Xbox controllers, I have 3/3 which had drift, and from the two repaired, one is defective again. It's a lost cause.

Mine started this crap at 6 months. Same side , same thing. I hope gamestop still lets you buy a controller and you can put insurance on it for a year ...if it breaks within that time you pay 10 bucks for a new one. Thats how i used to do my S controller.

Everyone complaining about how quickly these fail. Microsoft do a really good no quibble return. Just get a Microsoft account, register the serial number of the controller, then if its under warranty follow the instructions. Takes about 10 days in the UK. You will get what looks like a brand new controller back, just in plain packaging. Save that packaging for the next time 😊

I have about 30,000 hours on my XB1S controller with only a slight hint of drift from time to time…..but my boy has the same pattern controller and it drifts badly after just a year.

I have a power a controller and I have stick drift on one of those sticks on the back of the controller there are screws do I take those out or do I just take off the front of the controller ?

The problem for me is taking the joystick out I can’t manage to do it

Repeat those steps, but you’ll have to do one additional step, pop open the potentiometer, carefully remove the small piece inside and clean the parts with a swab and alcohol, sometimes the build up from wear and tear can’t be removed from the outside with air and alcohol, you have to go inside and manually scrub it out. It should work, but eventually it will wear out permanently. Good news is if you have even basic soldering skills then you can desolder the original potentiometer in the future and solder in a new one.

It is an option to clean a controller by yourself, but that doesn't always fix the problem. It could have had a defect from manufacturing, some parts may have been worn down, or you didn't clean it well enough and maybe even got more dead skin, and dust to places where it shouldn't be. You decided to take apart the controller and try to fix the problem. It is your problem that it's worse. Don't blame others for your mistakes.
