  1. Hello, I’m experiencing a persistent input lag issue specifically with the right trigger .


    Hello,

    I’m experiencing a persistent input lag issue specifically with the right trigger (RT) on Xbox Series consoles. I’ve gone through extensive troubleshooting — including a full hardware replacement — and the issue remains.

    Here’s a detailed breakdown of what I’ve tested:



    Hardware and Setup:

    • Tested multiple official Xbox Series controllers (new and used).

    • Purchased a brand-new Xbox Series S — issue still persists.

    • Tried on multiple displays/monitors, all in Game Mode and set to 60Hz.

    • Used both wireless and wired connections — no difference.

    • Switched HDMI settings from Auto-detect to HDMI only via Video fidelity & overscan.

    • Attempted switching between Energy Saver and Sleep power modes.

    • Trigger works perfectly in controller test mode — no delay or missed inputs.

    • Issue only happens during actual gameplay across multiple titles.

    • Tried with and without headsets and accessories plugged in.



    Software and System:

    • Fully factory reset the console, choosing not to restore old profile/settings.

    • Tried a soft reset (keeping games/apps) — no change.

    • Changed TV settings to rule out latency settings (no effect).

    • Tested across multiple user profiles



    Observations:

    • The issue is isolated only to the right trigger (RT) — all other buttons are responsive.

    • Controller input test shows RT behaves normally and instantly — no lag or unresponsiveness.

    • Affected across multiple games, profiles, controllers, and consoles.

    • No option available to revert controller firmware via Xbox Accessories app.



    Thank you for your time and support.

    :)

    Input Lag

    Hi, when you say input lag what exactly are you experiencing? I have used samsung tv's for years with my consoles and they most certainly do not show any type of "input lag". Try resetting the display settings on your console, power the console on using
    the guide button on your controller, as the console starts up press and hold Y and the right trigger, the console should restart and the display settings will be reset.

    -

    Game mode on your Samsung TV will disable all the processing modes the tv uses and does make a difference.

    Xbox One S Controller poor response via Bluetooth on PC

    im not sure if it's an issue with my controller aging or my new Motherboard's Integrated Bluetooth (MSI MPG x570 Gaming Edge Wifi) that has been causing issues with the response with bluetooth. It takes forever for the controller to connect to my PC, but
    when it does connect it either works fine for 5 minutes then has extreme input lag, or it cancels the pairing and I have to reconnect, thus looping to the input lag issue.

    now the response issue I'm referring to is that the controller has massive lag in responding to my input or missing my input entirely. an example is me playing Battlefield V and my right stick response is either nothing or a delayed response (0.5 - 2 seconds)
    then the camera will pan almost 180 degrees. same thing happens to the ABXY buttons, left stick, and triggers.

    I need help in figuring out if I need to buy a new controller or if I should ditch the controller completely.

    Thanks.
    Even i have bluetooth issue with the same Mobo. Signal is veryy weak.

    Right stick Xbox elite controller movement error?

    If you are experiencing right stick input lag on your Xbox Elite controller when exiting games back to the Home Screen, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

    Update the controller firmware: Make sure your controller is running the latest firmware. To check for updates, go to the Xbox Accessories app, select your controller, and click on "Device info". If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

    Check controller settings: Make sure the right stick sensitivity and dead zones are set correctly in the Xbox Accessories app. You may also want to try adjusting the stick response curves to see if that improves the input lag.

    Try a different USB port: If you are using a wired connection, try plugging the controller into a different USB port on your Xbox or PC. This can sometimes fix input lag issues.

    Reset the controller: Try resetting the controller by pressing the small button on the back of the controller near the USB port with a paperclip or other small object. This will reset the controller's connection to your Xbox or PC.

    Test with a different controller: If you have access to another controller, try using it to see if the input lag issue persists. This can help you determine if the problem is with the controller or with your Xbox or PC.

    If none of these solutions work, you may want to contact Xbox support for further assistance. It's possible that there is a software bug or hardware issue with your controller that requires a repair or replacement.
