    how to fix xbox controller input lag

    Hello Nicholas,

    I understand how disruptive this type of controller lag issue can be. I'd like to help you find a solution.

    Are you experiencing the lag spikes with all games or only a specific one?

    First, if you're using Bluetooth, try switching to a wired connection and see if that helps. If you're using a wired connection, try a different USB port or cable. Some ports don’t provide a stable connection.

    Check for any firmware updates using the Xbox Accessories app:

    https://www.microsoft.com/p/xbox-accessories/9n...?

    Let me know how it goes, and I'll be here to support you!

    Note: Just a friendly reminder that this is a public forum, I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

    Is that after or before the input lag was fixed?

    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.

    Controller Input Lag

    Ok i tried the wireless controller

    THAT DIDNT WORK EITHER [Mod removed profanity] IS WRONG WITH THIS DELAY THIS IS SO ANNOYING YOY HAVE NO IDEA HOW FRUSTRATED I AM BC ALL THIS MONEY WENT TO WASTE

    UNBELIEVABLE

    WHATS WRONG?!?!
    Hey,

    I must have missed your post that it only occurs online. This is 100% network related. So it is not your controller, TV, or console. Did you try a direct wired connect to your modem- bypassing the router basically. Once this is connected you can try playing
    online and if the problem persists, while leaving the console directly connected to the modem run the network trouble shooter as described by the Microsoft guys in this chat.

    Online gaming is frustrating because their are so many things that can go wrong and each portion is a different company to deal with.

    Good luck.
