  • hi how ore you guys sorry for the sock on the floor lolol and also not getting the drift on camera but like I said I have another serious to controller coming in the mail with supposedly the same stick drift if so I'll do another video where I catch the drift and the fix all the same time I was in the controller decided to take the faceplate off based on another video that I saw I was going to link it in the description but I didn't find it if I do find it I will update this but yeah hopefully this will help a lot of people from what I'm looking at between the comparison between the two controllers the Xbox one controller the Xbox series 2 controller they have the same thumbstick setup so if you do have a drift and a regular controller you might be able to do the same thing and fix it thank you guys tell me what you think of the comments and I know my fish tanks have a little bit of algae build up but I left my lights on for a day or two while I was out and it was a mistake thanks guys

    Way to go man, my Elite Series 2's left stick was unusable due to vertical drift, otherwise it was working perfectly, 5 mins later and its all fixed and all because of you, I'd given up on it after seeing some really complicated youtube fixes, here's a subscription to you channel and a thumbs up as a way of thanks

    This just flat out worked!! I had been watched various how to videos and ordered some replacement assemblies. While I waited for them to get delivered, TH-cam suggested this one. So I gave it a shot, figured what else do I have to lose. It ended up working flawlessly! Thanks much for this! You have truly earned the subscription today!!

    I've got to hand it to you for this one..thanks alot. I was about to get a new controller. Only had this Elite 2 for 8 months and it wants to get randomly stuck in the forward position. No other position. I examined it very closely and didn't see any kind of sticking or drifting superficial. But played with the green chips a little and now magically my sticks are like brand new. Thumbs up on this one.

    Wow, yeah it worked for me I literally just did it. I will say that if you’re left stick drifts up and down you have to pop open both plates, for me the bottom plate was harder to get back in but it definitely works, I don’t know how but it does. Thank you sir, you just saved me $200

  • @tuttifongul2006
    @tuttifongul2006 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Yes, it works...to a point.
    1. Stoopid easy to open these contrary to what everyone says. Work at the top two corners by the bumpers, then work down each side and pop goes the cover off with a slight pull
    2. You CAN snap them off without removing the caps but if it dont work then you gotta pull em
    3. Remove them by turning w a towel, easy and steady. They aint that damned tight yall.
    4. Pop the hreen caps off, push the disk towards the stick with a pick or toothpick and then spray contact cleaner in towards the copper disk. Wait 10 seconds and spray again.
    5
    Blow it out and its fucking FIXED
    6. TELL MS TO PISS OFF!!!
    you rock dude

    Worked for mine, cheers mate. Had horrible up/down drift on my left stick too. For some reason popping off and on just the module on the right side didn't fix it completely, but after popping BOTH of them off and on, then it worked. Not sure how long this fix will work, but it saved my controller from being a paperweight for now.

    I did this in 10 minutes with my old permit ID (to pry the edges of the front), my knife (to lift the front off), and a pair of pliers (to move the sensor). Anyone can do this with pretty much no tools!
    Thanks again man!

    WARNING: i tried this and it worked at first, but silly me kept trying it because the stick drift wasn’t completely gone. i think my continued fidgeting actually worsened my stick drift. so if anyone wants to try this, don’t mess with the sensors more than once or twice because it could possibly make things worse. hope this helps someone because my stick drift is so bad now lol
