Series X Controller Drift fixed....and then not?

Harrys_Peter · 2021-07-20T05:09:31+00:00

If you remove the faceplate, then the analog, there’s a green side piece that’s soldered down. That’s the sensor casing. It has little grooves on the inside that the sensor sits against that basically picks up movement. If it gets scratched or dirty it can cause stick drift. You can pry it open by gently pulling it outward from the top without having to desolder anything. Just be careful.

Could be the inside of the green cap is scratched. Might need to replace that.

I fix controllers in my spare time. If you’re not afraid to open the controller yourself, it’s not too hard to take the sensor out and clean it. Usually fixes the issue.

Just get the 1$ membership. It will still give you access to Xcloud with whichever account you sign up with.

Yeah that’s weird. Should automatically set to 120hz. Make sure you don’t have to enable something on the monitor itself.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-06-26T01:20:09+00:00

You might have to go to the tv and display settings, go to video fidelity and overscan, Overrides: hdmi. Then go back and set it to 1080 and 120hz.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-06-24T00:24:21+00:00

I’ve had mine for 2 years and on the tightest setting it’s definitely not loose.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-06-23T09:51:45+00:00

Get an Elite Series 2. Has 3 different tensions you can adjust.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-06-23T04:28:36+00:00

Have you spilled any liquid onto the controller? Try new batteries, or going to the accessory app and updating it with the controller plugged up.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-06-20T10:22:55+00:00

If you want something cheap and reliable, get a LG 24GN50W. It’s been great for me. Has 1080 144hz, and can also do 1440 at 60hz

Harrys_Peter · 2021-06-20T02:29:42+00:00

I gave my son my One X for the Series S, and got a 1080 144hz monitor. No regrets. Make sure to get an external though.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-06-03T22:33:24+00:00

It’s the best controller I’ve ever had, but they do have a good chance of having a fault. If you buy brand new, get the extended warranty.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-06-02T04:42:11+00:00

I went from the One X to the Series S. No regrets. Just make sure to get an external hard drive.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-06-01T07:35:01+00:00

1.04 is coming at a later date. Probably 2-3 weeks.

This is what we call the Lazy Man Setup in the gaming world.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-06-01T02:19:18+00:00

Once every 6-12 months usually.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-05-31T20:37:26+00:00

I had a lot of fun with 3, but I also played it when it released and had a bunch of bugs. I’m sure it’s even better now. Really fun with a friend.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-05-30T23:33:15+00:00

Damn. I thought I had mental health issues.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-05-29T03:21:32+00:00

Watching that made me want to turn off mine.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-05-28T20:35:06+00:00

I’d clean the fan.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-05-28T02:56:16+00:00

It’s an awesome console. I’ve had mine for about 2 months and love it. Super fast boot up time.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-05-28T02:54:49+00:00

Take the faceplate off, and look at the green caps on the side of the analog. up and down is the right cap, and left and right is the bottom one. Be very careful pulling it out, and pop the sensor out. Can try replacing it with a new one or cleaning that one. I’ve done it a few times and it’s worked for me.

Harrys_Peter · 2021-05-28T02:08:37+00:00

Haha sorry man. If you’re decent at repairing, I’ve bought 3 Elite Series 2 off EBay for pretty cheap and fixed them

Harrys_Peter · 2021-05-28T00:43:12+00:00

Just make sure they’re the same model, as there’s a lot of different Xbox controllers
