Hi there. I can't seem to get the gray plastic part out easily like you did. What exactly did you do to lift that piece? I've played back your video 7 times now and still don't see how it's done.
@@Hopper_Gud if you take a very small Flat head and gently lift around the edges of the piece it should pop out. You may need needle nose pliers to get piece out if it falls into control.
On ps4 O bought a controller named nacon revolution unlimited pro. IT cost me 130 dollars. Which is expensive af. I got it for christmas and now all ready the left joystick moves by itself and the right looks down by itself. How do i fix this, it is different than a xbox controller.
@@Hopper_Gud so u accutly need to like pull it off like keep taping in it until it falls
its better if u do it wqith ur screwdriver

YOU ARE SUCH A KING
With the price of these controllers, they should be perfect
Not when you have people squeezing and banging their controllers up. Everyone full of shit and not disclosing how hard they handling their controllers
ihate bro, n o
ihate well how are we supposed to play
Okay sure karen
Exactly!
Omg thank you. My controller started to drift so bad it ended up in a Fast and the Furious movie.
Confused Sushi omg🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's a good one 👏
😂😂😂😂LMFAOOOO IM DYINGG😂😂😭
I can hear the music already😂😂
did it work tho?
You sir are a legend. Just got cyberpunk for £23.00 and the stick drifting up has made it a nightmare on the harder difficulties, watched your vid and my problem is solved. Legend, thank you mate 👊
Broo ik this is like 4 years ago but this man just saved me 200 dollars
You have a scuf too ??
My 2 Xbox 360 controllers have served me faithfully for about 5 years now and are flawless. The Xbox one started drifting badly not long after I bought it. Things just aren't built like they used to be.
Same. 360 controllers could even be abused and held up. Accidently dropped my new controller from gut height and now the aux port doesnt work :/. Lame
They made the deadzone of the joystick smaller to make the controller more precise and they created a new problem
Saammere
My 360 had battery recognition problems and would stop when they vibrated. I had to resort to using foil to fix them but even that eventually stopped working... : /
@@AbridgedPwned u know i had the same problem on the 360
, what i did is that i disabled rumble feedback in all games. But afterwards I enable rumble feedback to see if it works for some reason, and the rumble feedback works now without turning off my controller. weird xd
When you can’t go to Best Buy during corona so you fix it yourself
lol yeah it worked from my home no cerveza...oh did you say corona...ah ok...for me the little piece was already broke so i pop it out in 3 pieces and all work fine now.....
@@mlisecarbas9925 what happened did you throw the controller or did it wear over time?
LMAOOO ME
Haha. That's exactly what I'm doing...this worked too so... bonus
@KingSO 60 years ago F
my contoller was fine for about 2 years and suddenly i got terrible drift. this was so easy to follow and works perfectly now. thanks so much man.
Same situation here bortha
6 years later and this still worked on my controller, you deserve a subscribe
ITS 2018 AND THIS STILL HAPPENS TO NEW CONTROLLERS
*natsu dragneel* - Sad that a multi-million company went from having one of the most durable and best-quality-built controllers (Xbox 360 controllers) to a faulty and cheaply-built controller on the market. (Xbox One controllers)
Yes it most certainly does. I bought one in may and the joystick drifts.
natsu dragneel your username reminds me of some guy I used to talk to on the internet lmao
natsu dragneel my most recent controller i got shorts out and has this problem i had to disable the vibration bc it would short out the controller and it would shut off
planned obsolescence
4 years later still helping people, I just fixed mine thank you
Does this work for elite controller ?
@@jonimriska9157 did it work for you? My elite has drift
5 years now
@@obscurityzedsdd8301 did it work for you too , lol
Yep
Mine started acting up a few day's ago after only a year of ownership. Standard tips didn't work. This nailed it.
May your legend live on!
Saved me 60 bucks. This video was sent from the heavens. This also worked on the Xbox One S controller. Thank you dude.
almost 2020 and this still happens, the fix worked though, cheers pal
Mr Trash which fix method did you use?
Nik im sorry about that dude, have you tried this fixing method?
@Nik lol good job on that 4.0 GPA. and yeah it was hard finding the right screwdriver for me too, but once i found it, the fix was easy to apply and ended up working
@@thesaladolla how small a flathead did you need?
Taking the gray plastic piece out worked for me . Very simple. No more drift thanks!
Yep... Removing the grey clip worked, although my joy pad fell apart n was a nightmare putting it back together again.
No more drift... Now I'm off for a wank, cheers man appreciate the video.
Wtf🤣🤣🤣
Wtf dude😂
Lol, now I’m off for a wank lol
Nice
Legend
Thanks man! Had this controller lying around for like 2 years and figured that i might wanna try and fix it. Removing the grey thingy to the left of the stick did WONDERS. It's actually perfectly fine now. Thank you so much!
Thank you! My son was devastated because XBox controller was drifting and he couldn´t play his games. I saw your video and in no time the problem was fixed.
Thanks a lot!
I've fixed my dad's xbox controller with that without issues and gained a lot of respect points, thank you! :)
Reminds me of when I use to reboot the router and everyone in my fam that I was the IT guy

Mission Passed
May 2020: used on a basic XBox One controller purchased in November 2019. After 6 months the left stick was sending Drift which made menu surfing impossible. Selecting a rifle in COD was like playing wheel of fortune. I followed the instructions in this video and it works great now.
Same prob man
Wheel of fortune 🤣🤣
Lol for me, my character just looks straight up by itself in any FPS game like COD or Overwatch so the problem was in the right stick
Lmao wheel of fortune im deaddd
matrixx17 same
This worked for me also. For anyone struggling to remove the plastic piece, be patient and carefully use the screwdriver as a wedge from the angle shown in the video, mine was a bit difficult to remove. Also, for those worried about the warranty, the easy fix for not destroying the sticker is to use a heat gun or blow dryer for 10-20 seconds then gently peel it from the edge with your screwdriver and tweezers, you'll only have to peel it halfway.
7 years later and this trick just fixed absolutely atrocious stick drift on my series x controller. You are an absolute legend bro. Thank you

4 and half years and still helping people.. thanks buddy I appreciate. I just fixed my controller 😂🎮
The fact that 2.5 million people have look at this video should be a wake up call to Microsoft
After YEARS I can finally enjoy my favorite games, without constantly fighting with the thumbstick drift. Feels a bit loose, butthat isn't nearly enough compared to what I had to deal with before. You ended my suffering. Thank you. You are a good man
did it actually work for you?
@@hello7968 It works but temporarily
@@hello7968
I sure did for me. All you have to do is remove that grey plastic part. That's it.
It's tricky though because its clicked in somewhat like a telephone connection.
I had to release it from the inside of the joystick to unclick it then slide it upwards.
No more problems for me
@@AnishKumar
DONT DO IT !!!
IT DOES WORK BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME !..
IT ACTUALLY DID WORST FOR ME AFTER ONE WEEK THEN I TRIED PUTTING IT BACK BUT ITS NO GOOD.
THE JOYSTICK WILL ALSO FEEL WEIRD LIKE IT GETS STUCK WITHOUT THAT PIECE. BUT THE WORST PART IS THAT JOYSTICK DRIFT WILL BE OUT OF CONTROL MUCH WORST THAN BEFORE.
ANOTHER THING.. I TRIED TO SELL THE CONTROL TO GAMESTOP FOR CREDIT TO BUY ANOTHER AND THEY WON'T ACCEPT IT ONCE YOU BROKE INTO IT..
TOTAL MESS !
@@tierracooper3356 how long?
I beat my controller til it worked
plasma dark aye asian parent mode I like it
plasma dark lmao
Lol
How did you beat it?
I beat my controller until it got worse
Thank you so much friend. I've been dealing with this problem for months. I did every step of your tutorial and it WORKS PERFECTLY.
You just save my controller and my pocket.
Best regards from Brazil. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I was hesitant about doing this but after taking 30 min getting the screws out, took the plastic pieces out and put it back together and so far it’s worked! The controller was only like a year old or so too so it saved me money!!
did u use a small flathead? i’m worried about stripping the screws
I am wondering about the same question did you find the answer?
Had my first controller do this so I bought a new one. Months later it started doing the same thing. After watching this I tried this method and now both of them started working perfectly right away! Thank you!
$60 controller and they used cheap parts. 🤬😾
Mine did this after one month. I only notice it on cod
Here in Australia it’s $90😤
I have a $160 elite controller and it does this
My elite controller does this👺👺
60$ ?? It’s not too expensive.. buy elite :D
Just saved me about £50-£60 here mate, short and sweet.
Great video and to the point, saved me one and I have just fixed 2 of my friends too.
Thank you for the video 5 years later :)
There are two good things about this video.
1: It works perfectly
2: New hobby discovered.
I can’t explain how thankful I am.
Such an easy fix too. I was about to be pissed because 4/6 of my controllers all had the same stick issues and a couple of those controllers were barely used
Oops I lied. Couple of the controllers still have stick issues occasionally depending on what direction I move it in.. the drift is still slightly there or I don't get full range of motion
This did mostly fix one of my controllers though so not total waste of time
Not even playing that is my favorite bit set. I just bought a new one tonight and didn't even realize you had the same one. Worked great brotha thank you so much. Drift is gone as gone can be
350,000 views, I think this is a common problem with the xbox controller
Just shy of 800k now. I think you're right
6string42 not really I've had the same controllers for about a year of almost daily use, I'm just watching out of curiosity haha
2 controllers both gone the same
@@gamingmidget 5 controllers for me
@@antonioluna4538 lol feels bad man
Big thanks to this guy for solving the problems Microsoft created. Thank you man.
Worked like a charm man. Thanks for the tip! Also mine was a right stick drift. So works on both.
You're a god. I was extremely sceptical since I've checked so many "fix" videos for this issue, none helped. I followed your suggestion and it worked for me. Thanks!!!
Fixed 2 controllers with this method! Thank you SO MUCH man! 👍
You sir are a gentleman and scholar - I had horrible right stick drift, all I needed was to remove that stock plastic retainer this whole time! Thank you for saving me 80$, liking this once wasn't enough
FG g
That pain you just removed from my heart can't be explained. Thank you so much bro!!!
I was about to buy my 4th controller in 2 years. Now all 3 are working fine.👍🏾
It worked :'D I was able to pry off the side pieces with a small flat head screwdriver, my nails, and sheer will and determination.
Is it still working
my joystick got stuck when i did this
@@xlecyy same
@@christophertoledo1385 I think it is
2020 and this still happens to controllers.
I hate microsoft
Me too
Fuck Microsoft
Yeah the controllers suck I see ones selling on Amazon for almost a hundred bucks while you could buy a freaking keyboard and mouse for the same price
does anyone know what size screw he is using
6 years later still helping, thank you ❤
man i'm speechless.
i was sooo skeptical about this BUT it worked out so well that i'm enchanted right now.
Just fixed my Xbox serie S controller, thank you soooo much 🤘🏻☺️
Whos here in 2019? 🤣😂🤔
I'm here
It works
We're all here.
Yeah this was pretty much the only helps I got outside of using Q-tips
Me... just bought a brand new elite controller and the drift is insane
I can’t stress this enough , you just made my entire day in one video
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I took apart an xbox 360 controller to try to fix the drift when I didnt know what I was doing and could not put it back together. This looks very easy, can't wait to try it.
Can’t believe this actually worked. Thank you so much and keep do what you are doing ❤️
you are literally the best! for 5 months, i have been struggling to play with a drifting controller and as a avid gamer it can be really annoying. however i came across your video and decided to try it out. it worked for me! no longer do i have to rage because i keep moving elsewhere for no reason. thank you so much, you have helped out so many gamers out there, peace ♥️

This is way better than the one that some other dude watched your video but this actually show you what to do and his more helpful thank you
Helped me fix my titanfall controller I was about to toss. Thanks, Bro.
Same lol
This is even happening with the elite controllers even 2019 editions
Thank you so so much for this. I’ve only had my Xbox One S a year and recently started getting drift in my left joystick. Removed that plastic piece and cleaned it and my controller works great!!!
I just tried this with a Xbox controller of mine that was having stick drift issues and it works perfectly now! Thank you for making this video.
Fixed for me - thanks so much!! I was skeptical as it's an old second hand remote from a friend's kid and thought it was gunked up beyond repair but this fixed it instantly - thank you! 🙌
Thanks a ton man! Been dealing with this issue for forever and now its finally over!
Hey, thanks for the video, totally helped the issue! Do you know if it's possible to purchase replacement clips for the one I removed?
Tried it. Works. Thanks a lot!
Great video and it solved my issue with my controller! Thank you for posting!!!🤝
Thank you for this video, just fixed my right joystick, I was super frustrated with constantly looking up in every game and now it's gone! Ten outta ten
Absolutely helpful information man fixed my stick drift exactly like you described thanks again.
6 years later still helping people, I just fixed mine thank you

Thank you man! This solved my problem. Easy fix 👍🏻👍🏻
tip for me in the future: dont let non gamers friends play Mortal kombat with you, they will press as hard as they can and break it
🤣 Lmao This is true with any fighting game, in fact. The non gamers really go ham on the controls, in order to beat you. Lol that use to perturb me to no end as a teen when I let my non gamer cousins challenge me. 😆
Trueee
😂😂😂
Tbh I just press random things on mortal combat I don’t press hard but my control has stick drift now

Yeh he says simple pop it off but its frikinghard to get it out
Hey mate, this worked really well. Thanks heaps! For anyone struggling to get the little plastic off and unable to use their fingers like myself, it's better to pry it from the side with a crowbar like action. Controller works great now!
This guy was send from heaven. For 3 years this controller has been drifting and moving on its own I did this video and It's completely working now I can't thank you enough man
“But getting into it guys..”
5 minutes later “but getting into it guys”
Thanks so much man. I did exactly what you said and it works like new again. Hard to believe a piece of plastic is caused the problem. I also have the same bit set you were using coincidentally.
Just when I had given up after trying so many videos. This solution worked for me! Thank you!
4 years later and you're still helping out clueless people like me
I am slowly chipping the plastic away into the abyss of my controller. It is very hard to get that piece off. (Edit: use a knife and go from the top down wiggle it in there I was very easy with a knife)
Thank you
Thank you i have no controller left any one selling one🤔😂
I don't know how to thank you man. I bought another controller because I was sick of that joystick. But I decided to fix and thanks to you it worked. I spent 2 years getting angry because of that stupid controller. +1 sub, thank you a lot man
Thank you so much. This helped and everything is working perfectly fine now.
it worked for me. Thanks for that
Had this problem with my first gen controller and a new one i just got 3 months ago. Could never figure it out till now. Thx alot man, saved me 60 bucks
Thanks a lot man... solved the irritating issues and some money ♥️
Thanks man!! Works perfectly now that I’ve taken that small thing out. No more drift going up and down on my left thumb-stick.
Your second video fixed it for me, recalibrating the joystick. Thank you, was loosing my mind trying to keep the character from walking forward into gun fire

I literally had the same issue! I was just like please don't break!! 😂
I just didn’t want to hurt my poor controller
Awesome I got fed up with my controller drifting just took it apart an did this works great now games are actually playable now haha thanks for the vid man
Removing the little grey piece from the right side module worked for me. I was skeptical at first but after testing the controller out, it fixed the problem. The stick would drift straight down where I'd be staring at my feet within 2 second of looking level forward. Thanks for the insight on fixing it, stick drift is so annoying.
Had the same issue with the left joystick - tried with air, a drop of circuit grease, blowing with my mouth, cleaning with a q-tip, but nothing worked since it was clearly a mechanical problem: removed that plastic piece and it suddenly stopped moving forward on its own. ...Wow! Still working in 2024!
It's still a bit stiff and not entirely perfect, but at least it isn't moving anymore which was the most annoying issue.
Thank you!
Thank you SO much. I was always aiming up at the sky due to drift on my right stick. I was preparing to perform the other method with replacing the module when I happened upon your video. My Elite controller is now good to go without any soldering or buying new, cheap, crappy parts.
Great job short and sweet. My controller works like a charm.
DO NOT DO THIS. This doesn't "fix" anything, it will appear like it does for a couple days, but it causes a jojystick drift that is unfixable, clean oyur controller with compressed air, and if that doesnt work, the censor is broken, DO NOT REMOVE THE GREY THING. That's NOT whats causing it.
Many people seem to see this does help. Maybe you didn't do it right or as he said "many people this seems to work for" not all people. You might be the unlucky person.
2022 ! And i just fixed my 2nd controller thanks to this video! Amazing thank you my friend and god bless ❣️
hey man i just want to say thank you. i never thought removing such a small piece would resolve such a big problem
No Copyright Music - Copyright Free Music Library so buting a new controller, it would have new moduwals
I'm having trouble removing that piece. Any advice?
Mateo Magnus a t9 screwdriver works so much better than a flat head one, Walmart sells them
i just bought an xbox design lab custom controller and my right thumb stick for aiming is drifting downwards. Will this fix the issue?
Did you guys have problems with clicking thumbstick after removing this? It did fix the problem so I was excited but now I’m concerned cause it feels a little clicking when I rotate it. Also clicking it down for sprint feels loose
Hell yeah, this worked for me. Took less than 10 minutes the biggest part was just getting the appropriate screwdrivers that would fit lol. Now both of my controllers work!
Which screwdriver did u use cause I can’t find which one opens the middle part of my controller
plasmaa go brazyy or use the proper bit, it’s a TORX T8
Only beef is the most important part of the video you can't see him actually removing the part b/c the camera is down by the side. Figured it out but would've preferred to see it better. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for this video. My controller drift was moving my character more than I was in any game that I played, and now it doesn't drift a single bit! Thanks again.
Thank you so much. I was about to buy a new controller. You saved my around $60
Thanks mate helped heaps removed the plastic's worked bet then calibrated the stix now it's like brand new much appreciated
4 years ago and it’s still useful amazing
