    Latest firmware update for Xbox controllers broken?


    I wanted to share something about the recent firmware update for Xbox controllers. I don’t know if it’s just on my end, but once downloaded it’s re centering the analog sticks on their own when making micro adjustments. If you move the stick a few % in any direction a lot of the time it will snap back to the centre and say 0% then continue to move again with your input. Making tiny micro adjustments impossible for people on low dead zones. Have tested this in multiple games and it’s reflecting what’s being shown in the controller tester app. I bought a new elite series 2 thinking my old controller was broken, once I updated it I’m having the exact same issue as my old standard controller which makes me think it’s the firmware update not working properly. I don’t know if this is already a known issue or not and can’t find much online about it.

    Thought I’d share this incase anybody has updated their controller recently and felt the analog sticks were off. Check them in the controller tester app with small movements and see if it’s snapping back to the centre on its own.

    Thanks!

    :)

    Xbox Elite 2 controller NOT working with new firmware update

    To be very, very clear, the problem is that the newest firmware updates to Xbox elite 2 controller has broken the functionality of the paddles. As of the latest firmware, the paddles are completely disabled when in default profile. The paddles used to work in default mode, and now they don't. Steam can corroborate this: last year Steam added functionality to customize the outputs of the elite controllers paddles, which means that the paddles used to output a unique signal instead on only emulating other controller buttons.

    A quick internet search reveals numerous accounts from users who had used steam to customize the paddle outputs, proving that the paddles used to work. You can also see a growing number of recent complaints from Elite controller users who are realizing that their paddle inputs are now broken. This is not an isolated occurrence, the elite controller was broken by the latest firmware updates, and people are realizing it.

    The changes made to the Xbox elite 2 Controller paddles in the latest firmware updates NEED TO BE REVERTED.

    Xbox One controller disconnects randomly

    Hello, do you have the latest firmware update for the controller? Plug your controller into the console using the micro usb cord and go to settings, system, and select update controller. If you do have the latest firmware update and your still having problems
    you can log into xbox.com and click on my account under your gamertag and selecting manage device. From the manage devices page you'l be able to request a repair and you'll just have to send the broken controller back to Microsoft and the will repair or replace
    it.

    no new xbox headset updates

    What kind of Xbox One controller do you have?

    From going to All Settings-->Kinect & Devices-->Devices & Accessories-->Xbox One Wireless Controller, the latest firmware shown on my controller is "2.3.2385.0". Checking for updates yields no results, and says that my controller is on the latest firmware.

    This controller of mine is a standard black controller (with the 3.5mm port) that I purchased as a separate accessory. I think only the Elite controller has a different firmware due to the extra functionality.

    If there's no update available, then you're already on the latest firmware! Microsoft doesn't really push out controller updates very often.
