Your video saved me. I had huge drift up and down on the left analog... I pulled the green tabs away and found the right side one filled with "junk". I bought it not working from a kid that "promises it worked". It was a gift for my pre teen daughter... so to get it fixed is huge! Thank you so much!

Nice job. Method 6 is cleaning out the contacts and wipers of the potentiometers. I thought this would be unfeasible without desoldering from the board, but it wasn't that bad. It looks like dry dielectric grease on the wiper/resistor element. Isopropyl took it right off and eliminated all drift and sticking. Whole analog stick assemblies are available at decent prices to solder in if this method doesn't work.

I went to method 6 some months back. When it worked again with no drift after the clean, I thought how many controllers could I buy cheap with the drift and with the rest fix, re-sell them. The controller I fixed worked for a few hours no problem and felt confident enough to sell it. It was bought and I shipped it off. Days later they tried the controller and reported drift in the same stick I thought I fixed. So it's only a very short temporary solution. What you really need to do is replace the component by soldering it in.

You sir saved me a lot of money. God i can't thank you enough :) I had to go all the way to level 6 and clean the potientiometer, but in the end the drift vanished completely from the right stick of my beloved Elite Series 1. A bit wearout stayed, but that is normal hence it's almost 7 years old and used almost daily on my PC. While i do have the Elite Series 2 on my Xbox and could theoretically use it on my PC, too, i really love the long life of the 1 and first and foremost: the absence of a glued non changeable battery. 2 AA rechargable batteries are changed in less than 10 seconds and having 1-2 good pairs charged all the time is more than enough for me. :) Again: Thank you! Maybe a note to all Elite Series 1 owners: the cable running from the back to the second board is a ribbon cable in our case. Be careful pulling that out and use tweezers that come with many precision screwdriver kits to put them back in carefully, to not damage it

I'm just commenting my experience to see if it helps anyone. I had wicked drift (XBOX Series X|S) on my right stick. Symptoms were always moving in the up direction. Major pain when playing a game and always looking up.. I tried cleaning by compressed air, Iso Alcohol (99.9%) q-tip and toothbrush. I prefer not using cotton balls due to the transfer of tiny hairs. Nothing worked. I ended up taking out the Y axis sensor. Looking at the sensor using a magnifying glass I was able to see a small white particle (maybe plastic?) and a very thin dust-like hair similar to the one you can see at 5:52 in this video. I removed the particles using fine tip tweezers, gently cleaned with a q-tip and ISO. Let dry. Reviewed the sensor and sensor housing for any further particles and replaced the sensor. Tested and works better than it did when I bought it. Although I can see how a dust-like hair may make its way into the sensor housing, I can't imagine how a small piece of plastic would work its way in. I'm guessing most of the sensor issues may be due to poor quality assurance.

Had to go until step 6, opening the small doors, but this fixed the issure for the moment. Actually, opening the controller's outside shell was the most annoying part, because not all of the screws didn't fit right to my torx srewdriver. Had to use a torx 9 as well as a flat head. Opening the green doors wasnt very complicated to my surprise, just be very gentle and take it slow, use a very tiny flat screwdriver head. Now I hope the controller will be fine again. Bought it 5 years ago but didn't use it much, it even was quite clean inside and outside. Back in the days... I remember my Dreamcast Joypad I used a very lot, never had any problems. Sega built in complete different high quality analogue stick electronics, they were to last like forever and drifting wasn't even possible due to the construction. Maybe I'm just too old for the newer shit...

Hi, recently i’ve bought an xbox 360 wired controller, and when i run a controller test, the analog sticks movement is not circular, but square. Also is looks, like the dots are magnetting to X and Y axes. And when I move my LS slightly, it just doesn’t register anything, until some point, where it immediately moves a lot from the centre. My analog triggers also start registering movement only if they are more than half pressed. And also it just makes beeping noise when needs to vibrate slightly. It can not vibrate for half of the game, and then somehow really badly vibrates. Is there any software fix, or i have to manually replace components?
