HOW THE FCK DO YOU UNSCREW THE JOYSTICKSSS

I was able to do it to both sticks without even taking the thumbs off just move it all the way to the side and use a small flathead

king shit brodie

I did the same thing because my right stick was having issues with looking up and down(mainly my character staring up all the time) now it's having left right problems on top of the up down ones .... I don't know what to do anymore. The only thing I didn't do was leaving a space. Do you think it would be better to do it again and leave a bit of space? Edit: I thought to myself "f*ck it, the controllers warranty has probably expired after the first attempt and the space leaving thing was the only thing I didn't do the first time so why not give it a shot. And OMG it's as if I bought a brand new Controller not a single bit of drift is noticeable. So thank you so so much friend.🎉🎉

These controllers are crap. The Thrustmaster eswap x pro controller is much better.

I literally enjoyed this video

Thanks fixed my controller ❤

Yea my stick just broke down once i was done soo gg

Brotherrr what a savior. I haven't used this controller in like 2 years. Even got a ps5 controller. But I cant use that with STALKER 2 even using a xbox controller emulator. I watched one video before yours but it didnt help. While I had it opened I said "let me try another video" from the beginning your stick was doing the exact same as mine, constantly moving forward. Fixed it in 2 seconds. What a saint! +20 Aura

I never comment videos, but DUDE, THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤

Thanks for the Video man it helped a lot. At first, I just figured that my stick was broken, but after opening my Controller, I discovered that there was a broken piece of plastic stuck underneath it. Again lots of appreciation from my and your a savior.❤

❤❤❤

You reslly saved me from just buying a nee Elite controller thanks a lot man👍🏼🙏🏼

holy crap my right stick unscrewed in the controller I was so worried that It was just gonna wobble around forever

Drift happens because the potentiometers get worn down. This probably worked because you're putting a bit less tension on the potentiometer by moving it away from the controller, but it won't be a forever fix because the potentiometers will still get worn down. The only solution is replacing the potentiometers when they get worn.

1:10....it was still drifting 😂

WOW!!.. IT WORKED !!.. THANKS I will like and subscribe.

Didn’t work right away but I kept adjusting and testing the dead zone Graph on COD and I lowkey fixed my drift so thanks

Wow this instantly worked , I didn't even have to take the stick off ..just tilt it and pry the green box. EZ PZ

Thank you! For months I suffered from this drifting and used my xbox One controller in replacement untill it broke down too (bluethooth button broke down) .. Finally gave this method a go and now it works as it should. Its weird to play now when I have got used to this drifting lol

I need an update on anybody that did this 3 years ago? How long did the fix last?

3 years later, I want to THANK YOU. Seriously, saved me so much time and looking into other options of fixing

It worked and than messed up with getting scammed by my instant glue. Drift went away and dis F in glue didnt cure fast enough and went trough the sensors. Now ive ordered a whole new joystick

Still works

I love u ngl

For moments it worked. But now is doing for up and down. (before was just up) any recommendations?

THIS ACTUALLY WORKED idk about the long run…

Just saved me 80$ from a repair store. Took me 2 hours to get off the front stupid plate, and I didn’t take off the dome just moved it to the right and did it . Works good now

You absolute legend the video Microsoft don’t want you to see guy just saved me £50 thank you bro 👍👍

An elite controller getting drift why do yall still buy dem

I had a left drift on my right stick. I followed your instructions. Unscrewed the controller, pried off the bottom green part. After that I had a permanent left drift. I then snapped one side of the green part back in, but it didn't get any better. After an hour nothing worked anymore and I thought I had ruined my controller. Then I used a screwdriver to pry off the green part more and saw that there were small wires there. With a second screwdriver I moved these wires closer towards the stick and snapped the green part back in completely. I still had a slight right drift, but better than the strong left drift. I then recalibrated the stick with the Xbox Accessories app and suddenly it worked. No more drift. ♥️

Best fix worked well. I bought an xbox elite series 2 off someone for 50 bucks. Guess they didnt know how to fix and now its good. Thanks

I have 4 series 2 that are now fixed love this

i fucking love you it worked

Worked with my series x regular controller. I left a gap, and also sprayed air into the gap before putting it back together. 👍🏼

Thank you! I've been trying to fix this for awhile now.

Just a heads up for anyway taking off the joystick base, it takes a 1/4inch bit, don’t bother breaking your fingers trying to spin the thing free 😂

Wow it worked well done !

good shit big guy this actually worked

خیلی ممنون واقعا عالی البته هنوز امتحان نکردم ولی خب 😅

Awsome help dude! Controller fixed!

Bro wtf your the only video on yt that actually worked thanks fr

All of my elite 2 controllers I buy continue to have this issue so hopefully this works still few years later

This fix straight up worked for me - Sept 2024

Cheers mate ❤

never buying microsoft products again the quality is nowhere near the price

Mines too far gone, tried this fix and it just didn't work. Got the controller Christmas 2021 and I've had barely any problems with it till this drift. Only noticed it playing fallout when my character moved forward on his own and I didn't even touch the stick.

I literally took it apart to clean out the parts now my left stick is sticking going forward and it wont connect back to my xbox great😂

its made my stick drift worse?

How did you take the controllers frame off so easily
