Einleitung

Bewegt sich die Figur, ohne dass der Analog Stick des Elite Series 2 (model 1797) Xbox Controllers bewegt wird? Dann liegt höchstwahrscheinlich ein "analog stick drift" vor.

Für diesen Drift gibt es verschiede Ursachen. Manchmal kann Beschädigung die Ursache sein, zum Beispiel ein Sturz, aber auch durch normale Benutzung und Verschleiß. Glücklicherweise wird der Drift in den meisten Fällen durch Staub und Dreck verursacht.

Diese einfache Anleitung erfordert keine speziellen Fähigkeiten und führt dich Schritt für Schritt durch den Prozess.

Xbox One Elite Controller Series 2 Joystick

Schritt 1

Setze ein Hebelwerkzeug in die Spalte an der rechten Seite des Controllers an.
Führe das Werkzeug nach unten, bis der Controller beginnt sich zu öffnen.

Seriously.. No.. this is CRAZY hard to get a pry tool into.. Explain more!

Napster6 -

You have to put a little force to get it into the crease and pry the bottom away from the body while gently pulling up on the face.

It's good to note that the tabs are on the front cover and pointing toward the outside of the cover for this part.

Die Nägel könnten mal wieder gemacht werden. ;-)

anonymous 7992 -

I came here to say that.

Megen Ashley -

Schritt 2

Setze ein Öffnungswerkzeug oder Plektrum in den Spalt ein, um zu verhindern, dass sich der Controller wieder verschließt.

Schritt 3

Fahre mit dem Hebelwerkzeug an der Seite des Controllers fort.
Der untere rechte Griff wird sich öffnen.

Schritt 4

Schiebe das Hebelwerkzeug an der Fuge unten am Controller entlang.

Just for reference, there is a tab in the middle on the front cover (just above the accessory port) that points towards the inside of the controller. Pushing in a little on the plastic above the accessory port (on the backplate) may help separate seam.

Schritt 5

Platziere das Hebelwerkzeug in der Naht an der linken Seite des Controllers.
Bewege das Werkzeug, bis der Controller sich öffnet.

Schritt 6

Setze das Öffnungswerkzeug oder Plektrum ein, damit sich der Controller nicht wieder verschließt.

Schritt 7

Führe das Hebelwerkzeug in der Naht weiter nach unten.
Der untere Teil des Griffes wird sich öffnen.

Schritt 8

Setze das Hebelwerkzeug in die Spalte am oberen Ende des Controllers.
Führe das Werkzeug weiter zur Mitte, bis die obere Hälfte geöffnet ist.

Schritt 9

Entferne die obere Hälfte des Controllers.

There is adhesive tape on the top cover above both of the rumble units and on both sides of the Xbox button. The ones above the rumble units may stick to some wires (black and gray) below the ABXY and left joystick. Be careful that they are not pulled out when removing the faceplate.

Refer to the second picture of step 10 as the black wire has come out of it's channel.

Jacob Buffington -

Schritt 10

Drehe den Analogstick gegen den Uhrzeigersinn, bis er sich löst.

How are you twisting this off? I have tried and tried but it won’t come off

Adam Jenkins -

For anyone who finds this step difficult, you may not be able to hand-loosen this part. I used pliers carefully.

Jeremy -

I spent probably around 45 minutes trying to take the thing off. Got it turning with some pliers but it always locked back into place after a full turn to the left. Eventually I gave up and realized it’s possible to continue without removing the stick at all…

cdom -

I am currently facing the same issue, but now I notice the joystick physically grinding and sticking when I push up where it won't snape back into place. How did you get around that?

Nathan Ujda -

Great tips here - a pair of gentle pliers did it for me as well.

Garland Smith -

You can actually skip this step entirely by just moving the dome the left or up (for whatever sensor you're blowing out) and using a pair of needle tip tweezers to open the sensor cover to blow it out. This will help avoid damaging the dome.

If you do elect to using pliers instead, wrap the tips in electrical tape or rubber bands to avoid damaging the dome's teeth.

Jacob Buffington -

How do I can I fix it if it doesn’t snap back into place ?

OG WICK -

Is this some kind of joke? I'm pretty sure my stick is broken now. It's not "unscrewing" at all.

Schritt 11

Nutze einen Spudger, um den Sensor zu öffnen.

Just a note:

The sensor on the right (pictured being popped open by the spudger) controls the X axis (left and right)

The sensor on the bottom (not touched by photos) controls the Y axis (up and down).

Depending on which way your stick is drifting, make sure you clean the appropriate sensor. I cleaned both of them just for thoroughness.

Lord Meowmers -

The spudger included in the essentials toolkit was too large to fit in the small holes. The smallest size flathead bit that came in the set was the perfect size though.

cdom -

Schritt 12

Platziere die Spitze des Strohhalms einer Dose mit Druckluft an den Spalt nahe des Sensors.
Sprühe Druckluft auf den Sensor, bis dieser frei von Staub und Dreck ist.
Es darf keinerlei Flüssigkeit aus der Dose mit Druckluft an den Sensor oder irgendwo in den Controller tropfen.

Schritt 13

Nutze einen Spudger, um den Sensor zu schließen.

The joystick is now getting stuck on the right side. Anybody else experienced this?

Jaji -

It's as if just poking a stick into a joystick assembly and prying off a part to clean under it is a bad idea...

xnamkcor X -

Schritt 14

Ersetze den Analogstick. Drehe ihn dann nach rechts, um ihn zu befestigen.

Schritt 15

Setze die obere Abdeckung des Controllers auf die untere.
Drücke beide Hälften zusammen, bis sie einrasten.

Twisting the Joystick to the left did not work. My controller is now broken. Awesome

very good guide way easier to follow then others i’ve seen :) Thanks

munch483 -

Maybe im just too scared to totally ruin/ rip/ snap or otherwise DESTROY this thing or stab myself with a pry tool but it seems like this is WAY harder then the pictures/guide make it out to be. The top face plate is FAR FAR FAR harder to release then the guide says.. Its not like a regular controller AT ALL.. I have cut myself to the point of blood now with the sheer effort of trying to push a pry tool between the seam EXATLY where the picture shows.. It did NOT help at all.

Napster6 - 23/09/22

Hey Napster, You are very right. I bought this controller preowned and there are slice marks in the rubber where the person tried to open it and failed. I was able to open with out a terrible amount of difficulty by using the thin metal wedger tool thingy from the ifixit kit while simultaneously holding portions open with the blue triangle. Try pushing the tip of whatever your using to the bottom half of the controller then in a little more and then pry up. (near the b button). If it pops the top half out a little then wedge a placeholder in there then try the other side. Once you get both sides try a little lower near the vibrator then same for the other side and by then it should be easy enough to open with your hands. I struggled heavily the first time but found this was the easiest way. Good luck!

Jake H -

This is such an awesome guide! Fixed my controller drift and a saved me a ton of money in the long run. Thanks so much!

Lord Meowmers -

I had issues with numerous parts of this guide.

As others mentioned, opening the case is quite difficult. I found that using the metal Jimmy tool included in the Essential Electronics Toolkit helped to loosen up the right-side seam enough so that the middle of the right-side seam was where I was first able to insert a pick. Once I was finally able to get the whole thing open, I noticed there was a small amount of adhesive which the Jimmy may have helped to slice apart.

I was not able to remove the joystick at all despite being able to rotate it as instructed. I found that I was able to access the sensor for cleaning as described without removing the stick at all. But, on that note, the spudger included in the Essential Electronics Toolkit was too large to open the sensor gap. The smallest flathead bit included in the kit fit perfectly. FWIW, the spudger pictured is not the same one included in the toolkit…

&&^&@@ my controller up opened it good and could not twist it off so i grabbed a wrench moved the black joystick to the left clamped on it and pull up popped out did it yo the other and blew so hard with my mouth made me feel like i was gonna die from not having air in my body so after i do that i mess with the sticks and it’s sticking to the sides like spider man so i’m like wtf is goin on so now i get the wrench and try fixing it by pulling it to the middle and pushing it down and the middle long metal part is bent so i was trying to level it in the middle with the wrench and when i did i went to high flew past it with the wrench and hit my fingers cutting it made me bleed so now i’m bleeding my controller is &&^&@@ so after i decide to hit it with a jack hammer to hope it goes down and it did a little so i popped the frame back on and closed and and try to turn on the controller the &&^&^$^ home button is pushed in stuck and csnt even use my controller and yes my sticks is still sticky with a bad drift

o p -

Or you could get a vacuum and suck the debris without opening the controller lmao

Nuri Ali -

Well! This guide helped a lot! I almost bought new joysticks and about to replace the one that was drifting. When using the spudger on the sides of a new controller (step 3), I found it easier to "pry" the bottom out while pushing the top up.
Another tip, you don't need to remove the domes to access the sensor covers. You can move the dome aside and us a pair of angled fine point tweezers to pry off the sensor cover and blow it out.

I took a few images to share if possible. Of using the tweezers to access the covers and an overall shot of the under the top portion to see where the tabs are to avoid breaking them when removing the cover (broke two tabs on a previous controller since there was no guide at the time)

Jacob Buffington -

Is there such thing as reporting a guide for being damaging?

xnamkcor X -

Great guide, easy to follow but my controller is still drifting :'(
