Right Xbox Controller Stick drift.

[Merrydoc]

So i always had that problem that the right Analog Stick goes up if im not touching it. it happens completly random and its rar, but bothers me. This is my 3 Controller inside 1 Year and all 3 of them got that after a couple of Month in use. i had that in Armored Core and Forbidden West. Super weird and i dont know what to do.

Buy another Controller 😉 I've had mine Sony Dualshock 4v2, 3 times in service! And second one too... Now I bought ESMX... Cheap and working good so far...

And more practical, if its only with few games, change dead zone settings in those games!

I mean this is the 3 X-box Controller which has that Problem inside of 1 Year. this is insane and always the same drift. Right Analog Stick moves up.

Oh! Mine 10 or more years old Logitech G710 is still working perfectly! But this rubber material it's covered, became sticky so my kid is using it now 😛

Seriously, change PAD brand... They are using cheap analogues, so they start drifting...

Well for a quick & dirty fix there is always Steam Input!

You can manually change deadzone for any of the sticks. I never used it after they remade the UI for the whole controller settings area, but I'm faily certain it should still be there.

When I last tried it I could gradually make the inner deadzone bigger until there was no more stick drift.

Since for me it was the left stick this wasn't a big deal, because it's only for traversal, not aiming. Obviously for the right stick making the inner deadzone bigger means less precision while aiming, so it's not ideal.

When it comes to other controllers, from the top of my hat I can only think of the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra. It uses "Hall Effect" sticks that cannot develop the typical stick drift issues of analog sticks in traditional controllers.

It seems like its a Steam Problem. I recognized when i hold my Controller Power Button my Mouse cursor Moves up.

Don't waste money on Xbox controllers. They are trash. For me two of them bumpers died. Those was models form Xbox One. Then I bought Model from Xbox series S.... and after some time I got same problem as you... Right stick started to drift, up direction. At the begging it was randomly, but then it became worse. Now I use only Sony controllers.... Microsoft make complete junk.

P.S
I tried to fix by my self, found videos on YouTube. Disassembled controller, cleaned analog stick contacts... and it worked... almost day.

If there is only minimal stick drift, simply increase the death zone accordingly. It's not really that difficult. Steam has the function for that. You don't buy a new controller for such a small thing.
