An ongoing class-action lawsuit against Microsoft for “stick drift” has been amended to include specific reference to the company’s most recent Elite controllers, the Elite Series 2.
As spotted by our pals at VGC, the updated paperwork now adds seven additional plaintiffs and asks that the case goes before a jury, as well as appending more detail about the alleged defect.
The lawsuit further alleges that Microsoft “failed to disclose the defect and routinely refuses to repair the controllers without charge when the defect manifests” even though “a large volume of consumers have been complaining about stick drift on Xbox One controllers since at least 2014”.
Microsoft was hit with a class-action lawsuit that claims its Xbox One controllers – like Nintendo’s Joy-Cons – suffer from “stick drift” back in April. Filed in Washington by Donald McFadden, the action maintains that customers paying to repair their controllers after the 90-day warranty expires are allegedly paying to repair a known fault.
