My Xbox elite controller keeps turning on and off

I always turn on and turn off my Xbox 360 Elite console with the wireless controller!

I plug my controller into my xbox and it still turns off is it because i have an elite controller or something?

hi my elite 2 controller don't respond anymore.

not one button, stick or paddles work but the controller is "on"= "home button" has light on...

i can't turn the controller off

when i open the accessories app there is only my standard controller displayed.

connecting to xbox with usb cable doing nothing

when i put them in the case: no "vibration"

on the elite 1 you can simply remove the battery but on elite 2 it's impossible.

is there a trick to turn the controller off and on?

thx

Are you using the keyboard to turn on the console, or a regular controller?

My suggestion is to try using a regular Xbox One Controller (any should do, standard, Elite Series 1 or 2) to turn on the console, launch the game, then turn off the controller, and connect the keyboard and mouse after the controller has been turned off,
you should then be prompted to select an account to use the keyboard and mouse with for the game.

Hi TiernanS,

I have an Xbox One X and a series 1 Elite controller and I can confirm that the controller should not turn off while plugged into the Xbox via the cable included with the Elite controller. My Elite controller does have a Play and Charge rechargeable battery
in it, so that could be a factor that keeps the controller always on while plugged in. I was able to watch hours worth of football without having to touch the Xbox One controller while it was plugged in. Do you have any batteries in the controller while it's
plugged in or are they removed?

The only other thing you can do is occasionally push the thumb stick on the controller to keep it awake, or invest in some wireless headsets that doesn't require you to connect to the controller for audio.
