my two year old controller just got stick drift, is there anything I can do?

so, this controller came with my Xbox series s that was purchased December 2023. while playing the halo: ce campaing I suddenly notice that my camera started to randomly look up.

in the video, those fast flicking movements are me, trying to show how sometimes it sticks and sometimes not.

what can I do? I've tried cleaning it (wiping with Q-Tip and blowing air into joystick) but no change. I have no experience or even equipment for soldering, I've heard you need that for replacing the joystick. if I have to buy a new controller, wireless is a must (though I've read hall effect and wireless don't work well)

I have tried to just adapt but while trying to play a fighting game with a friend my character wouldn't stop doing taunts and we lost.

thanks!

What’s a good Xbox controller with Hall effect sticks that’s NOT sold on Temu?

I play on xbox series x and i need a good NON TEMU xbox controller with hall effect sticks. This knocks out Gamesir and 8bitdo. I know a lot of you are crazy about these temu Controllers but i dont trust it

Help with more information on this controller

Was trying to look for information about this controller online, my friend sent me a picture of this Tracer Xbox One controller he received years ago. Just wondering if anyone knew of its rarity or value, haven't been able to find much information about it.

Can't pair wireless controllers via bluetooth on windows 10 laptop

Hi there,

So recently i came upon an annoying problem. I was playing It Takes Two with two wireless controllers connected to my laptop. One of them was from Marvo with a ps4/5 layout and the other one was a Gamesir Nova Lite with a Xbox layout.

Everything worked fine, i played via ds4 and they worked great. A few days ago I bought another Gamesir controller, identical to the other one i had (just a different color).

I connected it to bluetooth but i couldn't manage to connect them both (but they were both in the devices list in the bluetooth options). So i decided to clear out, to "remove devices" from bluetooth list (including my marvo one), in order to do a clear connection for these 2, the Gamesir ones.

Now, I can't connect to either one of them anymore, my bluetooth doesn't recognize them when I'm trying to pair them, to "add a bluetooth device".

I tried everything, updated the drivers, restarted the whole bluetooth thing, restarted the controllers, it just won't show up on the list.

What is there to do? I'm desperate 🤔

Controller

I'm on Xbox series x

I'm sick of stick drift so I want a hall effect but my headset uses the USB port and I can't find a true wireless hall effect controller

I'm not a tech savvy person, would putting in a multi USB port adapter into the Xbox and put the headset and controller Bluetooth thingy into it work?

Why are Xbox controllers so expensive!

Bought a simple all black controller, and it was 95$!! Which is crazy, and they seem to cheap you out now and not give a you a 14day gamepass code. Just batteries and the controller.

Xbox Series X Controller help - Warranty question

I have severe stick drift on my limited edition controller, to try and fix this i took the front off to clean it as sometimes it can be caused by debris.

My warranty is still in date as i only bought it in December, BUT if i have broken the sticker in the battery back to take off the front will this mean my warranty is void? Just before i send it to microsoft for no reason?

The boys with big hands …

I didn’t expect them to be this big … and a tag heavy as well. Master Chief’s head can be seen easily even with the controller is on, that is nice. The Doom Guy got covered by the controller :(.
They are made by Cable Guys and price is around 30+ USD. I bought them on Amazon. There are other designs too but this 2 are perfect for my controllers.

I found a Xbox elite controller at a scrap yard

I’m seeking help trying to see if this is at least fixable. The controller came all together just didn’t power on, so I took it apart and cleaned it and put it back together and no luck. Wondering if some one who knows more would say it’s dead or salvageable
