After many hours of play, that track wears down or gets dirty, the centre reading changes and the controller sends movement even when you are not touching the stick. That is <strong>stick drift<\/strong>: your character walks on its own, the camera slowly turns or the cursor jumps around in the menus.<\/p>\n<p>A restart or an update will not fix it, and adjusting the in-game deadzone only hides it while it is mild. If the part is worn out, the drift comes back.<\/p>\n<h2>The fix: TMR magnetic sticks<\/h2>\n<p>The sticks we fit are <strong>TMR<\/strong> (tunnel magnetoresistance): they read the position with a magnet and a sensor, <strong>with no contact<\/strong>. With no rubbing, they do not suffer the wear that causes drift in standard sticks. That is why we do not replace your stick with another original one: it would be the same part that has already worn out. These Xbox controller TMR magnetic sticks are the lasting solution.<\/p>\n<p>We explain it in more detail in <a href=\"https:\/\/tigernicks.com\/en\/hall-effect-sticks-drift\/\">do magnetic sticks get drift?<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What the \u20ac30 includes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>two magnetic sticks<\/strong> and fitting them to your controller.<\/li>\n<li>A full test of the controller before we return it to you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3 months&#8217; repair warranty.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you send us your controller, return shipping with Correos Express is added: \u20ac6.50 in Spain and \u20ac12.50 in the rest of Europe.<\/p>\n<h2>Compatible controllers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Xbox Series X|S<\/strong> (the current wireless controller, with Share button).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Xbox Elite Series 2.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have another model, ask us on WhatsApp before sending or bringing it in.
