You may go into the settings (use the digital pad) and replace the firmware of your management pad. Additionally flip the management pad off, take away the batteries, let it drain for a bit, put the batteries again in and resynchronise.
This occurs occasionally. After I purchased two consecutive substitute recreation pads solely to search out that this defective behaviour stopped taking place as quickly as I would purchased them, I began questioning if one thing else was up. I believed that possibly Microsoft had provide you with the last word grift (lol, joke)!
However regardless of regular points of damage and tear that may result in these sorts of issues, I feel there is a problem the place the controller turns into uncalibrated and subsequently unresponsive. I’ve largely discovered it on up and down on the left analogue stick, just like you.
Each time it is occurred, I’ve given the controller a superb clear (you’ll find guides), turned it on and off once more as described above, and checked if there’s new firmware.
