Is there any advice for a controller that has had this repair, but continues to drift? I have done this repair successfully many times, and now i have a controller that (with 2 different replacement parts) continues to drift.
Is there a reset or config I can do?
Drift issues are a different problem you would need to solder a new joystick box to fix that this is for loose or damaged thumb sticks
I used a cotton ball on my Xbox one Elite to fix drifting issues.

Does anyone know the correct SKU for the joystick box for the Model 1537 in particular? And any link to purchase it. Thanks

Can i apply 2 thumbsticks off the xbox 360 controller when i removed them?
You can try to solder the connections on, but I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to make different connections. You can try it, let us know how it works out if you do.

Any luck with the 360 component transplant?
Hi I also have a drifting issue with my Xbox one controller & I was wondering is some lubrication on the joy stick would fix the problem
Hey everyone. I will be attempting to do a 360 joystick transplant into an Xbox 1 controller that has started to scroll through menus, although it doesn't happen in game. I'll update with the results from that.
I am going to be using the new style controller instead of the original and I am interested to see how it goes. The controller is the one from the bf1 bundle.
The tools needed does not mention security torx. It is listed correctly later, but by then I had started and didn't have the right tools...
My gta v camera is rotating and while i try to move the thumbsticks, it wont move. Even if i reconnect the controller
Plz help
My gta v camera keeps spinning even though my controller is connected
what if the little plastic pole breaks? anyway to replace it?
ofcorse theres no comments after that question. god forbid anyone acutally post a helpful answer. what about after step 6 you know the actual mechanical part that makes up the thumb stick, not just the thumb pad that covers it.
Ok guys, just found that a thumb tack fits perfectly into the small hole on the plastic arm that holds the thumb stick to the control module. Filed the thumb tack off so I was left with the small steel pin, gorilla glue the pcs back using the thumb tack pin for reinforcement. Waiting for glue to set up well and see how long that lasts for. Maybe saved 80 bucks... maybe not: I try and post the results if I remember
Ok, glue dried, been playing FC4 for about 20 min, and no problems so far.
So I would say now there is a fix for when the plastic arm breaks, probably depends on where the break occurs. Mine was basically flush with the bottom of the thumb stick. Saved buying a new controller for the next little while anyway!! Hope this helped
I did this same fix months ago but used part of a large paper clip and gorilla gel glue. Then my kids used it…it worked for a while but now the thumbstick started jiggling and when I took it apart it was broken again. Rather the gorilla glue fails eventually at the joint where the two broken plastic parts join. The broken off part was still solidly glued to the thumbstick but not at all to the joystick control box. I am just going to get the soldering iron out and replace the whole thing. Part already ordered for less than $1.
Can you use these steps to maybe tighten the thumbsticks if they feel too loose a bit to your taste?
These steps only go so far as to get the thumbstick cover off… you'd need further instructions to tighten.
-for anyone WITHOUT a t8 security… an easy workaround is a 1.5mm flathead. Works fine.
My left thumb stick isn’t “clicking” when engaged like the right. Will this fix it? Thanks
Will this fix a thumb stick that doesn’t click down and pop up? Thanms
How do you fix it? The joystick got pushed in and its stuck i want to fix it not take it apart. Thanks in advance.
Do you know how to fix a thumbstick damaged from being dropped. My lil dro is an idiot and dropped it (the controller) too much and the top left thumbstick is damaged do i need a new one? Can i repair it? Thanks is advance.
Thanks, awesome instructions and tools had it fixed in 5 minutes.
As I live in Britain, that type of screwdriver is really hard to come by. Is there any other one you would recommend?
You can use a non security torx bit if you break off the little pin in the middle, be careful not to damage the rest of the screw.

For anyone having issues with security torx there is a simple solution if you have standard torx bits. Just take a small screwdriver or a nail in a pair of vice grips, etc, and wedge inside the security torx against the pin and push on it. The pins will snap off and now you can use standard torx. I did this to every 360 controller I ever owned as I tended to replace thumbsticks once or twice a year and I never bothered to get security bits because it took all of a second per screw to snap the pins off.
If anyone has any advice the pole and which the joystick sets is actually cracked on my Xbox controller is there any way to get that fixed
the drifting issue is very annoying i have to hold me RS joystick to type and affects my gamming hopefully doing this will solve the problem instead of buying a brand new controller.
How is this considered "moderate"? It is so easy! Thanks for the guide!
Can I only take off the top cover? Or maybe the sides too?
