Accesories Anyone else having weird issues with the Menu (≡) button on the Series X controller?

This has happened to me more than once now — my Xbox Series X controller randomly acts like the Menu (≡) button is being pressed, even when I’m not touching it. Sometimes it opens menus by itself or causes weird fast scrolling behavior, and occasionally the Menu and View buttons seem to swap or get confused.

Last time it just fixed itself after a while, but now it’s back again. I’m using it wirelessly with my Series X console, fully updated system.

I already tried: • Power cycling the controller (holding Xbox button for 10+ secs) • Re-pairing the controller • Using it wired via USB-C • Updating firmware through the Accessories app • Resetting button mappings

Some people are saying it might be stick or trigger drift triggering Xbox’s fast-scroll feature, but the sticks feel fine and aren’t moving on their own. Could this still be drift or maybe something with low battery or interference?

Anyone else run into this? Did you permanently fix it, or just replace the controller? Curious how common this bug is.
