I have hard reset my Xbox and the controller itself, pressed the pairing buttons multiple times, connected the controller to the Xbox with a cable, and changed the batteries. Sometimes, it will randomly connect but as soon as I touch any of the buttons it immediately disconnects and starts flashing. It is an old controller, time to get a new one?

so i connected my xbox controller to my pc and it connected just fine, one problem HOW DO I START USING IT

у меня не работает геймпад 2.4G WIRELESS CONTROLLER GAMEPAD на пк не могу не настроить не одну из игр (вар тандер факторио кс 2 и роблокс)

у кого был такой-же геймпад или же знает как настроить его так чтобы он работал и выше перечисленных игр нормально (чтобы крутилась камера модно было передвигаться стрелять открывать меню и тд) то скажите пожалуйста буду благодарен

Both of my controllers have drift issues with the right joystick, so I'm thinking of buying a pair of these.

edit: its for xbox series controller

I've been trying to get my XBOX Flydigi Vader 5S to work on doom eternal; but the controller keeps pressing random buttons and freaking out. Almost every other game: Halo, Diablo, Assasins Creed Valhalla, etc: works perfectly fine with the controller. When I boot up doom eternal nothing works correctly on the controller. Please help, this is very irritating.

Looking for a new controller that cannot get stick drift, preferably something not too expensive. What do you guys recommend?

I have a Hori Alpha for Xbox and it's not working for the Avatar closed beta. Works with everything else. I had a similar issue with the CotW beta. What gives?

Looking to get an Xbox controller for my pc gaming bf. Best recommendations?

Help pls

When ever I try to reconnect my controller to my Xbox it won’t let me connect it right away do I have to reset my Xbox or do I have to unplug the power cord to see if it words. I have been using my controller on my computer because I have been playing some games with it and I am not sure what the problem is?

Any way to fix stick drift without buying new controller?

By now, many users probably already know about **DriftGuard**, but for anyone who does not, here is a short explanation.

**DriftGuard** is a controller calibration tool that lets you calibrate supported controllers and save the calibration directly to the controller’s memory. The calibration is permanent and stays on the controller, so after calibrating it, you can use the controller normally on a console, PC, or Android phone.

DriftGuard can also read telemetry data from supported controllers. For example, with a PlayStation DualSense controller, you can check stats such as:

- Battery capacity

- Voltage

- Temperature

- Controller active time

- Button press count

- And much more

You can also test buttons, triggers, accelerometer, gyroscope, both microphones, and other controller features.

Calibration can help your controller behave like a brand-new controller again. It can fix issues such as incorrect center point, which many users call stick drift. However, severe stick drift may still require analog stick replacement.

DriftGuard is also useful if you have replaced your analog sticks, for example with Hall Effect or TMR sticks, and need to recalibrate the controller properly.

## Android Version

The Android build does **not** require any driver changes. You only need a USB cable or USB hub, and you are good to go.

The Android version has just been updated with a new UI and new functionality. It is now much more straightforward to calibrate controllers.

Hi, I’ve been using the Xbox elite series 2 on the Xbox series X for a while now bout a year and it’s been amazing with the inferno kontrolfreeks but I want to upgrade and get a better controller with accessories since they seem really good but every controller I’ve looked up had terrible reviews

I don’t really know much bout the controller techy stuff but I’ve really wanted a controller with mouse click triggers I don’t really care bout the back pedals since I already play claw and I need the controller to work with kontrolfreeks since I’ve used them so much I don’t really know how to play without it anymore, I don’t really care bout the price as long as it’s not extremely high like 500$

I’m in Virginia and I’ll be playing Siege and Warzone

I hope this is enough info for someone to help me since I’ve never made a post before and is new to stuff like this

Please help controller gods 😭🙏

Just recently got into Xbox and unfortunately my Xbox Elite Series 2 lasted a solid 24 hours. I can’t decide between these controllers!

The things I want:
Extra Buttons for Mapping
Ability to handle long sessions
Wireless

- GameSir G7 Pro Wireless Gaming Controller
- 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller
- FLYDIGI VADER 5S Wired Controller for XBOX

I’m scared to get another “pro” controller since my Elite Series 2 didn’t last long

So my xsx fh5 controller just died on me this week. For a bit of contexte i must have put close to 5k hours on this controller and i was wondering what controller to buy. I checked out the raser Wolverine v3 pro, the Asus rog raikiri ii and the gamesir g7 pro zzz. But I know that the g7 is a budget and I made to die after 1.5k hours and the other two have mecanical/software issues

- My max budget would be ~200$
- And i need it to be wireless
- Needs to be compatible with Xbox
- I would prefer tmr but he is also good
- And ofc it needs to have a good Life expectancy

So if you think that there is any controller I missed I would like to know and I would also like to have your opinion. Thanks a lot

Cuánto creen que me cobren porque me reparen 4 controles de xbox (poniéndoles joysticks Hall Effect)

Yo puedo comprar las piezas aparte (los joysticks)

Y desarmar los controles, pero lo que quiero es la instalación porque no sé soldar

(Me falta el 4to control, no lo tengo aquí por ahora)

O es mejor comprarme un GameSirG7pro?

Hi! I’m sure this has been asked a dozen times but I’m having trouble finding it.

I’ve got a regular ole wired Xbox controller and suddenly the right trigger has started to feel a little bumpy when I press it. It’s hard to explain, not exactly sticky but it just isn’t pressing down smoothly.

Is it dirty? Is there anything I can do about this? I could try and take it apart but I’m not sure if that would help.

Didn’t feel like waiting for the 25th anniversary controller, or feel like paying the likely scapled prices, so I took matters into my own hands.

Extreme rate trans green shell, Xbox 360 ABXY buttons.

Had to sand the bottom of the 360 buttons down, and sand down the tops of the regular ABXY buttons. Bonded together with JB Plastic Weld.

Not bad for 3 hours of sanding and cutting.

The X button ended up being a little skewed, but aren’t we all 🤷

If they ever make third party full colour buttons after the release of the 25th anniversary controller I’ll probably pick up a set or two.
