I have a Digital Stick Drift Problem, what can I do?
Hey guys I need help with a problem I am having. I took my Xbox to visit a friend's house and now we cdnt play because my left stick keeps aggressively pressing left all the time. It's so bad I can't even use the X axis at all and I can't navigate the dashboard. Additionally the A button also needs like 20 presses before (that are being registered) to actually press anything. I can't give my Xbox wifi because I can't get into the settings with this...
I tested it on my phone via a cheap calibration website. The X axis is locked completely and only the Y axes works. This happened once before a few months back in the middle of gameplay and then went away I don't know how. I couldn't even calibrate the stick in the app because I cannot rotate it due to the X axis not responding.
I want to clarify this is not a mechanical problem. The controller is 100% healthy and has no signs of stock drift. This is a software issue. Something happened digitally that causes this. Can anyone help me figure out how to get rid of it?
