my right back pedal (used for an extra b button) suddenly switched to rb.

bbitemarks · Jan 27, 2024

hello! ive been having trouble with the right back pedal on my controller. before i explain some more, this isnt a old controller, its actually quite new. i bought it less then a month ago. anyway, out of nowhere, i quickly noticed that the back pedal wasn't the b button, instead it was the rb button. my rb button hasn't changed, its still just the rb button. my other controller with back pedals isnt having troubles though, the pedals are still the same. i have no idea what happened, ive been trying to fix it the past day and nothing has worked. the pedals aren't just not working on one app or game, its on every app and game.

Hi Bbitemarks, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

Please, reset your controller pairing.

To unpair it, press and hold the pair button on top of the controller for a few seconds until it vibrates twice.

Then, pair it again.

Turn on your controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button.

Press and release the Pair button on the Xbox.

Within 20 seconds, press and hold the controller’s Pair button a circular button on top of the controller as you hold it in your hands) until the controller's Xbox button flashes a few times.

That means it's searching for a console.

The Xbox button stays lit once it's connected.

I hope this helps.

Actually that's how I play Forza and I've been using the wheel.

All assists off, manual transmission. And frankly I love it.

The LB/RB buttons missing is annoying, but you can change to a control pad.

Only thing I've found, as others have said, is switching back to the wheel. When you switch the wheel back on the game recognises it as a proper wheel/pedals... not the wireless wheel.

This is a slight problem as it rearranges your button configuration to use LB/RB for gear change..... very annoying

There are no left or right buttons on the controller, bit of a pain to navigate the menus when you're asked to press LB or RB. The only fix it to turn the wheel off and use a controller to do the LB/RB and then switch back to the wheel. I don't see where
they could have put the buttons to be honest but it is a little annoying not having them.

I was just thinking that an extra pair of buttons next to the A/B/X/Y buttons that duplicate the thumbstick buttons would be nice (similar to how the Hyperkin Duke has an extra pair of buttons that duplicate LB and RB)

Personal choice, would you rather use the back pedals instead of the face buttons? It allows you to keep your thumb on the right stick for more competitive gameplay
