My friend and I buy new wired controllers every once in a while so we can have "crispy" sticks. Anyways, the last 3 we have bought have problems looking up or left, like they look up really slow or turn left really slow (in comparison to the relative speed it looks down or turns right). They are brand new Microsoft brand bought from Best Buy, GameStop, and Target.

I am wondering if anyone else has had this same problem and if anyone knows a solution. Thanks.

Mine used to do that but after a while it stopped. it does occasionally have a mind of its own though and tends to do sh.t like throw grenades or shoot even though i did not push any buttons. my cousin bought a wireless one that did that as well, it looked up really really slow. Seems like a common problem.

its called "working in" your controller. As for the guy who said that his controller just does random things sometimes. im gonna out on a limb and say thats bs.

This has happened to me a few times, where I jam the stick to the side and it turns like I'm on 1 sensitivity.

I use a wireless that came with my 360.

This happens to me all of the time.

I even went from 5 to 7 sens and it still does it.
