Similar paint to the Lunar Shift. If so, stay clear. The paint chips and will cause drifting. Look it up before buying.

It's called controller drift, or analog stick drift, because one or both thumbsticks will drift, or move, in an undesired direction even when you aren't touching them

I love the Xbox controller but it seems they are so notorious for stick drift we should be looking for deals on soldering irons instead.

I looked up how to do the work, and it really isn't simple, and you can only calibrate it on PC it seems. My son's blue controller left stick drifted right after the warranty ended, he constantly struggles to scroll menus now.

I don't see anything specific to this controller and paint chips? However all Xbox controllers will eventually fall to stick drift due to the cheap potentiometers that Microsoft uses. I highly suggest buying from somewhere like Best Buy and adding the 2 year extended warranty.

I wish MS would move to Hall effect sensors to stop this. There are multiple tutorials on how to replace your own sensors. I'd say it's an Intermediate level project

Every controller has drift. Switch has drift. PS5 controllers were experiencing drift just months after the PS5 came out! Nothing unique to Xbox controllers. In fact, from my personal experience, Xbox controllers seem to experience the least amount of drift. Switch is the worst, with PS5 close behind.
