My Xbox elite 2 has just awful stick drift. I can't even play no dead zone in apex legends because it makes aiming rough. Annoying af

Battlebeaver, scuff?

Has to have paddles/back buttons

I'm leaning towards a Battlebeaver with the mouse click buttons but I'm gunna be pissed if I get another $200 controller with stick drift.


The title was supposed to say fooking I don't feel like fixing it

I could be wrong but I think all the wireless options are just Xbox controllers that have been modified, so you'll likely have just as much risk of stick drift.
I would love an alternative also but there doesn't seem to be anything as good as the Elite 2. Amazingly mine doesn't have stick drift but both my bumpers are pretty ****ed.

I have 2 other controllers with it though.

The issue is so frustrating.

Maybe the core controllers are the way to go and just keep replacing them whenever they fail. Or if you can live without the trigger locks (I definitely could), just get those things that plug into the back of your standard Xbox controllers.

God bless the replaceable thumbsticks on the DualSense Edge

Yes, and it's called a Dualsense edge huehue.

Try this one op

$340 controller that gets still gets stick drift. Yep, buy that one haha.

Boxcels, when will they learn?

Serious answer: I've been using the Razer Xbone Wolverine Controller (This one). Right now it's only $85, so it's cheap as hell and has never failed me. No stick drift, and it has tactile, almost clicky mechanical type buttons that have incredible input.

Best part is that it has fourtriggerson the bottom that feel far more natural than paddles and you won't accidentally press them just holding the controller, and then it has two more extra bumpers that you can press with your index fingers - you can even map it's possible to press them and the trigger simultaneously.



Finally, they have four directional D pad inputs instead of that schitty whatever-the-fukk Microsoft keeps using. I love these so much and actually use them for menus.

Get the one they used on the Titan submersible, if it was capable of piloting that around the wreckage of the Titanic it's certainly capable of dealing with your cheeto covered fingers battling children on Apex Virgins

My dual sense controller also has stick drift.


I think if you play no dead zone there's just always going to be some and it's a matter of how bad is it and can you get used to it. If I play on small dead zone there's no drift

I think if you were to play an fps game with fine tunable settings or any game that allows you to play with no dead zone, it would reveal your stick drift. I didn't realize how prominent it is on almost any controller until I got to apex where you can really tweak controller settings. 99 percent of games I can't tell, then I get to apex and it's stick drift city

I recommend a PS5 controller. It goes Brrrrer and really immerses you in the game. You can also put it against your clit while it goes brrrrr.
