Chosen Solution

My right stick stopped functioning for some reason on my xbox one, and even xbox doesnt even know hoe to fix the $@$*, for some sort of reason my elite controllers right stick appears to be un mapped at all settings, and it doesnt work at all when playing games

I had the same issue and after further investigation I found out I had accidentally turned on the xbox magnifier setting at some point (lol). To fix the issue:

  1. Hold the xbox button until the menu pops up asking you to either turn off the console or the controller.
  2. Press the back button to turn off the “Magnifier” setting.
  3. Try your game again.
  4. Enjoy!

I had same problem I used magnifier to zoom in an forgot to turn it off thought right thumb stick was broken tried another controller so thought it was game then realized it was on so turned off magnifier zoom holding Xbox button in middle of controller then hit back or select button an then it worked fine hope this helps

There is a chance the button has gone bad, If you have followed the steps for disabling Why my Rs (right stick) button is not working by Rxs127 and nothing works still, then you might want to look at Xbox One Elite Controller (Model 1698) Joystick Potentiometer Replacement which will replace the joystick and the button. It is possible to replace just the button but you’d need to find the specific button to replace it with.
