My 360 Controllers Suck

strebalicious

To be specific, it's only the colored ones. Let me give you the run down

Two White Controllers: Fine
Pink Controller: Left Analog Stick pulls to the left
Red Controller: Left Analog Stick pulls to the left
Third Party Wired Micro Controller: Fine

Drives me crazy trying to play anything with the Pink and Red controllers, with FPS games being worse (seemingly more sensitive to the pull than other games).

Makes me want to buy another controller to get rid of the pink/red ones. Are the black ones fine? Or maybe I should just wait for the oddly button-color deficient new controllers? Probably be another month before they get them out here.

It's interesting your white ones are fine. My white one that came with my Arcade has the left stick pulls left issue. I can play with it and get it to stop in the dead zone, but the lip or whatever it is that keeps it from falling out of the dead zone isn't as strong on the left side so if you shake the controller or if you tap it accidentally it'll slip left and start pulling left again. Was annoying me terribly playing sniper in Borderlands until I figured it out.

I think it's just an issue with whatever batch of left analog sticks they purchased and hopefully they've gotten better ones by now. Mine was from nearly a year ago now.

Try opening your controller and clean out the analog stick's base with compressed air.

Two out of four controllers are a little wonky? Sounds like just over par for the course.
