DriftGuard offers automatic joystick calibration for Xbox controllers to fix stick drift

A new tool, DriftGuard, now offers automatic joystick calibration for Xbox controllers, potentially fixing stick drift without hardware changes. The free utility reportedly writes a permanent calibration patch directly to the controller's memory, supporting various Xbox models and some PlayStation and Nintendo controllers. This breakthrough aims to resolve stick drift, a common issue often requiring controller disassembly, though sensor damage or physical wear can still cause problems.
