Controller triggers... vibrates?

I've got two controllers and I've never felt either vibrating, I play all kinds of games and I've never felt the triggers vibrate even once

I've not updated my controller and it vibrates just fine, you don't need an upgrade for that to function.

@ mackemjack ...

I just read ( see below ) about issues with controller not vibrating )

Wireless Controller doesn’t vibrate some or all of the time when playing a game

•Make sure that the game you’re playing supports vibration. Not all games support vibration of game controllers.

•If the game you’re playing does support vibration, make sure that vibration is enabled. For more information, see the user’s manual for that game.

•Make sure that the battery pack or batteries in your wireless controller are fully charged. When the controller detects that the charge in the battery pack or batteries is low, it turns off vibration to conserve the remainder of the charge. To learn
how to check your battery level, see How to check the controller battery indicator on your Xbox One Console.

•If you have another Xbox One Wireless Controller, try to reproduce vibration in the second controller. If the second controller reproduces the same issue, it’s likely that the game you’re using is having an issue. Consult the troubleshooting information
for that game.

If the wireless controller still doesn’t vibrate after you’ve tried the above solutions, your controller needs to be replaced. To order a replacement, go to the Xbox Online Service Center.

Thanks for the advice, but yeah, controllers are updated and charged regularly, I don't mind them not not vibrating to be honest, the only time I've felt then vibrate is on the settings screen, It's never happened in-game, and I was a day one buyer...
Seems a bit weird but I don't mind, I've never had it so I can't really miss it

yes, vibration is turned on. the whole controller vibrates, just not the trigger.

Turns out it's in other games aswell. The Vibration Setting for the triggers of the Elite controller does not work properly. When I close and exit the Accessories App or even when I uninstall and reinstall the Accessories App alltogether. When the App reads
the current setup from the controller. It says trigger vibration is at 100%. Even though just before this I loaded a configuration into the controller with trigger vibration set to 0 or 20.

Sometimes it takes a few views at the trigger vibration setting to see that it still really is set to maximum. At first they show the setting correctly. But without changing anything, just going back one menu and then back into the vibration settings. And
they magically changed back to 100%.

In games the triggers just vibrate at 100%. Regardless of anything I upload to the controller.

The way the controller vibrates is Sick. It feels like a magnitude 100 earthquake, it vibrates so strongly, you can even hear it from 2 or 3 meters away. One of my friends said he was going to throw the controller out the window and not touch it again. I
think it would give you a shock too if you're under 10 and a girl. And the vibration is strong enough to make an under 5 year old cry if they held it. "This controller is bazerk". I like it sometimes, other times I throw it on the floor (it survives, of course),
and go play Kinect Sports Rivals, at least the Kinect doesn't vibrate at me. If it did, it would probably fall of the HDTV Kinect mount on top of my HDTV.

I hate vibration. I ended up opening up the controller my girlfriend bought for me and snipping the wires to the motors.

For me it is just too much if a distraction, as the rumble of the controller bares little to no relation to what is actually happening on the screen.

The vibration of the controller is awesome.

You have way more control over your gameplay.
