Once you have it all in place reassemble the controller so you can try it out, if the problem persist back out and try some more cleaning.
I didn’t think this would I actually work. I was going throw the controller away because it had drift until I watched this video and it fixed it. Thank you man.
Bro, I came back to this video after 7 MONTHS, and it happened again, with the same controller but worse. So I took my teeth and pulled the button that was stuck and it worked. 😌 *SERIOUSLY* I'm not joking, try this if you have to!!
Can't believe this is still a problem. Had an xb1 4 or 5 years ago and my controllers drifted. Bought a new xb1 this week and the controller also drifts.
It's after using it for a while. Usually it's 200-300+ hours. If you just bought it and have used it less than 100 hours you should be able to return it...
mine does that but it goes to the right and its so annoying while typing cause it whole automatically go to the suggested words half way and ill accidentally press on those and it whole be nothing like the word I was originally typing
Hey i like a range of games and completely respect your opinion the board game shown in the video was a gift and i thought it would look nice with the rest of my gaming memorabilia
guys this guy isnt lying this actually fixed mine but pressing the stick in it abit weird but yeah it works and you need to be really careful whiles doing it
@@masatodoxey771 the answer is i why would i want to take apart a functioning xbox controller which are expensive and remove a factory set piece on it if it has no issues it would just be pointless
you can send the controller back where you got it from if its under a year or 3 months warranty but if that doesnt work try rubbing alcohol for it and it should work
Honestly my controller does the same fast scrooling and i think its because my left stick doesnt have that piece but my right stick constintly looks up and its hard to play fps games because i have to constantly look down. Its like really really bad recoil lol but that stick has the little grey piece so idk wtf to do
If you guys are having problems eith stick drift on xbox, what fixed mine was moving the joystick around and blowing into it, completely fixed it, no disassembly required!
If you unscrew the tamper proof screw you void the warranty..to fix drift .just clean your analog with qtip and alcohol..no need to take controller apart..buttons works just like a stuck key on a computer..you gotta clean around it to fix..
