My Xbox controller is having problems, or is it the Xbox itself?

When i go on my Xbox i have trouble playing beacuse the left thumbstick isnt working. For example - on Fable i run around for a few seconds and then it won't run. It isnt the "B" button cos it won't let me roll either which is when you move the thumbstick and press "Y". Also i run really slow on RS3 and Halo!!! Then i bought two more controllers and the right thumbstick didn't work!?!? Is it because the controllers aren't official ones, cos my offical one hasn't been working at all, wen i plug it in it still says to insert a controller. This is getting really annoying!!! Does anyone hav any ideas??? I'd be grateful. Is it the controllers or ports?

And if it does, "borrow" it permanantly (sp).

Alternatively borrow someone elses official controller and see if that works ok.

Try using another port and pressing start to activate that port as the one you wish to control the game with.

If you still have problems it's likely to be the controller.

I think the amazingly obvious solution is to get an official Xbox controller and try that.
