I will go ahead and suggest some ideas without having this controller, or not having any evidence, but purely based on electrical engineering point of view

1. Could be because of a capacitance internally in the controller, which causes the device to sense the joystick position wrong

2. Could try to mitigate by providing better grounding to avoid capacitance to charge. Socks, carpets, clothing etc. 

3. Could be also related to batteries. Are you using rechargeable or chemical batteries. Try changing the bettery type

4. Taje batterirs out and let the controller discharge, a few minutes.

 

Thats it for ideas. Hope some of it helps

 

 

 

I thought it might be like the N64 controller where, if it's powered on when the stick if off center, there's an issue but, at least for me, that hasn't been the case.  I use rechargeable batteries but sometimes I just use a micro USB. The problem still persists.  It's with 2/3 of my controllers and the newest one doesn't give me any problems.  I did do a controller update yesterday and it seemed to fix the problem for at least one of my controllers--until I started playing Resident Evil HD. My character kept aiming upwards.  No problems with Peggle, though.

Sounds more like you have kids. They have a strange effect on controllers; my wife and daughter have ruined one of my DS4's so that it does this same thing. I had to get a new one and tell them to stay away from it.

My daughter is fourteen. She might have something to do with it since she's kinda messy but she plays all of my consoles. Only the Xbox One is having controller issues (Xbox 360 controller was messed up out of the box but I already had a few controllers from previous consoles so it didn't matter at the time.)
