This is my second Xbox One controller for PC. The first controllers right stick drifted at 15% and I was forced to play on 16% which made games feel clunky. this feels a lot more fluid I guess?

I’m still in the return window and I want to know your opinions. I’m scared it’ll get worse over time. Is this an acceptable level of drift? Should I return it? (I don’t want to roll the dice for a third time)

I play on PC and this is what it looks like on Dolphin since it shows how they’re positioned (tested it on Fortnite and it does indeed drift at 11%)

All sticks drift and get worse over time. Xbox One pads are very bad at this. I've been though 4 controllers in the few years I've had my Xbox One because of stick drift. I've now gotten the warranty plan from EB Games so now I only have to pay around 10 dollars to replace my controller when it goes bad after about 8 to 10 months, they do not seem to care as I've gotten 2 controllers replaced already.
