In the United States, an Xbox gamer reports that his Xbox Elite controller has independently drifted analog sticks. Now it has filed a lawsuit against Microsoft.
After a certain period of use, the analog sticks of some controllers start rotating independently without the user having entered anything. This case already exists on Nintendo, now Microsoft also seems to be joining. As VGC reports, a user in the United States has now filed a lawsuit against Microsoft because their Xbox Elite controller arbitrarily has spinning sticks.
Is drifting Xbox Elite controller a known issue or not?
The potentiometer is faulty, the report says. The mechanism, which translates the movement of the analog stick into action on the screen, is prone to errors. The user tried several times to correct the error himself, as reported by the point of sale. I had already received a replacement driver from Microsoft, which had the same error after three to four months of use. The Xbox Elite controller retails for a manufacturer price of $ 180 and can be customized in many ways, for example with removable analog caps.
Plaintiff Donald McFadden now claims that there are frequent problems with Xbox One controllers and that Microsoft has so far been unable to remedy the deficiency if it occurs repeatedly. Nintendo also has issues with Joy-Con controllers. Last year a class action lawsuit was officially filed. Last month, a judge approved Nintendo’s move to enforce arbitration, but rejected a request for dismissal. If you have a problem with your controller, you should first try to get a new controller.
