    Controller connectivity, why is it so bad?


    Is it because the wireless on the Xbox one is horrible? Where is the receiver for the wireless controller exactly positioned? It obviously is not on the front panel. I have had 3 controllers (don't get me started on build quality) and all have the same
    issue. Updating, if I update the things anymore, I think the Xbox will blow up.

    :)

    Controller connectivity

    While the subject might be somewhat self explanitory my issues are much more complicated and specific than the subject may suggest.

    I have two issues which i believe are related and i will explain why after the issues are listed.

    First, while my "A" button works in both games and apps, when attempting to open a game or app it is indicated that i clicked on it by expanding and closing the white outline around the game or app box but not only do i have to click a few times but have
    to mash my "A" button over ten times to get it to open.

    Second, while this next issue seems like a pure controller issue i have reason to believe it is not, my RS button on my controller suddenly stopped working and can easily be shown during in game on multiple games, but, very oddly, when ever i double tap
    my xbox/ home button and close it it either immediatly does the job of the RS button or after i close out of that pressing ANY button INCLUDING the RS button or so much as rotating an analog stick will do the job of the RS button and after it has been completed
    the RS button or any other button will cease doing the job of the RS button.

    Now back to my previous statements to where i believe the two issues are some how related and not the weong doing of the controller, for a brief period roughly less than five minutes, i was able to open an app or game with one "A" button click as well as
    having my RS button fully fonctional and not able to be activated by the double tapping and closing of the home button, but after that time was over both issues persisted and were never resolved.

    These issues have persisted for over a week and i have tried to resolve them on my own trying everything i could, updating and resyncing of the controller, hard and cold resetting, leaving everything unplugged for more than a week, the closing of all apps
    and games as well as switching batteries, there were also no indications before the brief fix that i did anything to fix it, it just happened very randomly

    I know this issue is oddly specific, and i realize that it may be so specific this has never been incountered, so the fact that it is unfixable may be very prevelant, but i ask for any suggestions that come from anybody that read this.

    I appreciate anybody that took the tine to read this in an attempt to help me in the most random of issues and apologize for the lengthy post but i feel everything written was integral to the understanding of my awfully complex issue.

    Thank You

    Why are xbox Controllers so bad at connecting to a pc?

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Alex_740

    Is this happening when you connect the controllers via bluetooth?

    I ask this because as stated here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

    "The Xbox Wireless Controller can connect via Bluetooth to many PCs, tablets, laptops, and VR/AR headsets. However, reliability is dependent on the device’s Bluetooth card and experiences may vary."

    Xbox consoles use a proprietary connection protocol, this is why the experience isn't the same when using bluetooth on PC
