First things first, you'll have to go online and check how to open up your controller. The reason for the drift is the potentiometer (inside the analog stick) open up the controller then open the analog box, there are two potentiometer for each analog (2 for the left analog stick and also 2 for....) the potentiometer at the top controls left and right movements while the one the side controls up and down movements. So check the direction your pad is drifting to and fix the potentiometer simultaneously by cleaning it with alcohol(BE VERY CAREFUL, THE POTENTIOMETER IS VERY FRAGILE! HOLD IT LIKE A TINY EGG! MAKE SURE YOU WATCH A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO CHANGE OR CLEAN A POTENTIOMETER) , also clean the space the potentiometer came out from... Better yet if you have an old ps2 pad, just open it up and use it's potentiometer to replace your own.

Have you fixed one before? Can you help fix it? I can drop something for the time and stress. I've bought like four controllers in no space of time. The analog keeps drifting.

Thanks

Boss u don buy like 4 ke! I think dis drift issue is applicable to all of d newly produced wired 360 controllers. Don't know if Microsoft intentionally produced dem to frustrate us in order to buy more unknowingly to us dat d same tin wud still happen or probably all dis set of controllers which av flooded d market are fakes....I wish I can get someone who can help fix dis issue on with my own cos av bcom skeptical on buying a wireless​ 360 or Xbox one controller avin d same fear dat I might encounter d same issue. Òwò jona be dat....
