Xbox stick-ding drifted off?
Controler is not damaged, but is drifting off
Yes is a known problem, Playstation controllers also have the same thing, in both the same sticks from the same manufacturer are installed.
Then there might be dirt in between.
Really, is that known? Is there a solution to the problem?
Can you do something about it?
No that is a hardware problem.
the bearings on the sticks wear out after a while and this leads to drift
or something like that, they explained it
That's bad. These things aren't exactly cheap.
As already answered, it is a matter of simple wear and tear that has been normal with analog sticks since the N64, even if there's now a buzzword for it.
Depending on the load and with shooters, this is very large due to the sprint function, the problem always occurs sooner or later. Of course, it depends on how you handle it and how long it is used.
There are probably ways to fix this, but I've never used them, don't trust them either, just buy me a new controller.
Besides, I currently have 5 functioning controllers here.
For the case of falls.
Thank you, but new controllers are always too expensive for me…
What does permanent mean?
What period are we talking about?
I've been using my Elite for over 2 years now and there's no trace of drift.
My friend has been hers for 3 years and the same.
Would like to know where you got this information from.
Because what a miracle. The Xbox controllers have a significantly lower chance of debugging.
And purely in terms of structure, these differ enormously.
The sticks come from the company Alps, which is a major supplier for companies such as Sony, Microsoft, etc.
PS4, PS5, Switch pro, XBox One, XBox One Elite, etc. Use the same sticks, the sticks are not only limited to what protrudes from the controller, but also what is soldered to the circuit board underneath.
if you search for something on the internet you will find a lot about it.
Well, I've had mine for three years, but it has been drifting for about 2 years…
Now that's gotten too nerdy for me…
After three years you can, I think, allow yourself a new one.
Treat him a little more carefully and he will definitely last longer.
