Chosen Solution
i recently bought the adapter to use the xbox one controller on windows 10, however, whenever i try to play a game with the controller, such as rocket legue for example, the movement joystick is veering right and the camera joystick is moving to the left. normally i would think its just since its an oldish controller, but on my xbox one the controller works 100% perfectly. all the drivers and firmware updates are up to date and that was the last solution i could think of. the same problem is still there if i connect the controller through a usb cable. any suggestions for something i could try in order to fix this?
Sounds like the all too common analog stick failure - 1537 or 1697? If it’s a 1537, I would just replace the controller - those are not worth fixing since they have SO MANY issues. However, the 1697 is sometimes worth trying as it is a better controller, but relative to the 1708, it’s not great either. You can find replacement sticks on eBay if you feel inclined to try. Update I tested a 1708 from someone I have heard drifts on a console that’s ~3 months old with the following setup: Xbox One PC wireless receiver (1713)MSI GL65Windows 10 Home (1909)Xbox One 1708 controller I did a test where I paired it to my receiver (if it isn’t the same unit, it’s because I bought it when I was a Win7 holdout) and checked it in Game Controller tester. I did this completely blind and didn’t ask questions - I just did it to see if I could get the same results in Windows 10 they get on the Xbox. Furthermore, I’ve seen it on another 1708 of theirs that was fine to me, but I didn’t tell them* and it’s happening on another controller. I’m thinking some of these may be software on the 1708’s at this point, but it’s luck on which one it happens on - I still stand behind my theory behind the 1537/1697 as I’ve dealt with those enough to know it’s a hardware fail. *Not to get a deal - to avoid bias to see if it was a one off or possibly systemic.
