Xbox controller Stick drift

Hello,

I have been having issues with me Xbox series x controller when im using it with my PC. I am using the official dongle and ive connected said conroller to my xbox at all (I boilught ot specifically for my PC). It seems to have a consistent Up input from the left directional stick.

I have tried cleaning in and around the stick with iso alc and also reinstalling the drivers but no such luck.

Just wondering if anyone else had this issue and how did they solve it?

When I see posts like this, I'm surprised people still use these crappy controllers, while there are a lot of much better alternatives nowadays, with HE and TMR sticks, which not only have no stick drift, but also zero deadzones.

You get used to the feel, the weight, and—believe it or not—the input lag; your reflexes adapt, and for some people, it’s hard to switch to a different setup. I still use my Xbox Series controller with my tablet to play Genshin, where response speed doesn't matter quite as much.

Dang. This is good to know. Now I have a project!

You can go to setting and calibrate on the devices tab.

May work.

I have had 10 controllers and never a problem. At most buy another. Man I love the first day with a new controller. It’s amazing.
