    Incorrect inputs on Xbox Series X controller


    Recently, I bought a Xbox series x controller, and it has been working fine. However, when I boot up a game, some of the inputs are wrong. For example, when I boot up Hitman 2, the left trigger has switched to the home button and the right trigger has
    switched to the new capture button. I switched back to an old controller, and the problem disappears. I have also tested the series x controller, and all the buttons are working correctly. Is this a known issue and is there a fix?

    :)

    Xbox series controller unresponsive when connected wirelessly

    Apologies but you are not understanding me.

    The scenario goes like this:

    Purchased xbox series controller;

    Connected and updated series controller on laptop;

    Attempted to play a game on laptop;

    Controller input is not present;

    In some games the controller doesn't appear in the setup;

    In some games the controller registers but the inputs are incorrect, sometimes the z-axis registers as a button (x button) and not a movement;

    Connected controller to tablet and mobile phone and controller input is fine;

    Is the problem my games or my controller firmware not syncing with the games?

    Is there a fix?

    is Xbox doing anything about the XIM cheating issue? Because it sure doesn't seem to be the case.

    explains why it was stated the series x could detect them. Still incorrect though, input are still registered on the console, the xim formats the input from mouse and keyboard to simulate a controller. but to continue your argument, it still holds no ground. If the developers of games can detect it and push it forward IP-ban should happen. As it currently stands that does not seem to happen.

    Xbox Series X controller

    The Xbox Series X|S controller does not replace your mobile device’s touchscreen controls; instead, it acts as a separate Bluetooth input source for games that are compatible with the controller.

    (This means that not being able to control your device with a controller was intentional. It only works in-game.)

    Xbox Series X controller input lag

    On Xbox Series X when some games like Doom Eternal, Crash Bandicoot 4, Psychonauts 2, Tales of Arise and Visage are launched (only Xbox Series X enhanced games and not all of them) any Xbox Series X controller incur in an input issue, with battery and with USB cable without battery: if any key or trigger is pressed rapidly it doesn't work, a sort of input lag. The issue persist in any dashboard menu, then if I turn off and turn on the controller again the problem disappear until I return to the game in background that caused the issue. Any Xbox One X controller works perfectly instead. Both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series X controller are update with the latest update. I noticed that when the issue start the usual buzzing noise of the controller change sound, a lower sound. If I plug any headphone with or without microphone in the Xbox Series X controller the commands are more responsive but the problem remains. I reported more and more times this problem to Microsoft since 3 months but still there isn't an update that resolve this issue with my great disappointment. I think this issue started since about 4 months after a system update, and I think the problem is the same of yours. Can you confirm this?
