Controller delay

Can’t be the only thinking this but the controller delay is absurd for a competitive environment in which many users have a interest in, came to my attention that if the Xbox elite controllers/ Xbox series x/s are locked at 250hz why can’t we get a option to go past this cap like a competitive setting and a comfort setting. As of right now it’s impossible to compete against other consoles/pc due to this cap on the controllers which unfortunately forces your hand to wanna make the switch. So why not give us two modes depending on a user’s preferences?

I am sorry to hear that.

Please, reset your controller pairing.

To unpair it, press and hold the pair button on top of the controller for a few seconds until it vibrates twice.

Then, pair it again.

Turn on your controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button.

Press and release the Pair button on the Xbox.

Within 20 seconds, press and hold the controller’s Pair button a circular button on top of the controller as you hold it in your hands) until the controller's Xbox button flashes a few times.

That means it's searching for a console.

The Xbox button stays lit once it's connected.

I hope this helps.

I think my console or controller have a delay Also. I just exchanged my console and controller (the controller cause it had a scratchy button and the console cause it made slow interval clicking and when that happens my screen turns black and have to reset
it every time) and i gotta figure out if its the controller of the console that has that delay.

You have 90 days on controller warranties so don't delay.
