Stick drift is a typical downside with loads of totally different controllers however I feel folks in these feedback are making out as if it’s much more frequent than it truly is.
It may possibly occur naturally, however often will take some time. If it’s occurring often, then he’s abusing the controller ultimately. Not essentially deliberately, simply not precisely treating it with care. Stick drift may be accelerated by actually smashing the stick in any course. One recreation that’s recognized to trigger stick drift: warzone. It has a tac dash mechanic, that means if you wish to go full pace, you must click on the stick twice while it’s pushed ahead. This may actually mess up the stick over time
It may possibly occur in any recreation as properly if stress ranges are excessive. Once you’re on edge you generally, sadly, neglect how fragile the stick is.
One other factor that may trigger it’s filth below the stick. There are some strategies on YouTube to scrub it and repair the problem however none of these have ever labored for me personally
Anyway, it’s principally a mixture of unhealthy {hardware} (whether or not or not it’s defective or simply poorly designed) and misuse. If it occurs once more, contact Microsoft if it’s nonetheless in guarantee and they need to substitute it
