If you don’t answer these, you might not get a response.
You can try the following steps for stick drift:
- Clean around the thumbsticks.
- Use canned air to blow out dust and debris.
- Recalibrate the controller.
- Go to Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories.
- Select your controller then choose configure.
- Select the calibration option and follow it's steps.
-# Additionally, in the Accessories menu, make sure your controller's firmware is up to date.
- Reset the controller.
- Press and hold the Xbox button on the controller for 10 seconds.
- Wait a few seconds and turn it back on.
For the trigger, I would try the same cleaning steps as for the joystick.
If none of those steps work, the internal components are likely worn out, and you will need to send it in for repair or get a new controller.
Ok
