    Controller won't connect


    Don't you find it ridiculous that this problem is from 2021 and they still haven't fixed it why do I have to restart my console everytime my controller dies on a $700 console? How stupid is that

    :)

    Hello, connect it to your console directly with the USB cable

    Controller Won't Connect

    Thanks for the update, but. If you connect the other Xbox controller (with drift issues)
    It works as expected? (Ignoring the drift)

    May I know if you can try downgrading the controller firmware?

    Or please try pairing it with your phone via Bluetooth

    Controller Won't Connect

    My old controller is subject to drift issues, which apparently often effect new Microsoft controllers based on what I've read. It connects and "works" with my Xbox though, even though it's a pain.

    I tried connecting the new controller to the Xbox via USB cable, it rumbled and turned on, and it appeared to be connected to the Xbox, but none of the buttons worked or affected the movie that was playing, including the home button.

    As far as I know, there are no troubleshooting steps I can do bc the controller doesn't work, it appears to connect but the buttons don't work.

    Thanks for your help!
