      Hi Fern,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with drift on your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty so if this problem continues we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
