  1. My X button isn't working properly in games but when i am typing it's fine


    Firstly, i noticed it in Fortnite and Roblox, but i realised it isn't working in the most of the games at all. I have the latest drivers and i can also type properly using the "X". In my browser i don't have any problem with it ( i can still hold it down and spam X and i have no connectivity issues with my keyboard). My keyboard also has responsive LED lights and it also works fine when i press "X". (One weird thing in Fortnite was actually that if i press any other wall type other than what is binded on my "X" i can switch instantly to the "X" binded wall type but if i am not in build mode the only structure i can't place instantly is that is binded on my "X"). Its just that i can't use it in games although it has a main function and i don't want to switch keyboard because of only one button. I have a CoolerMaster CK550 V2 Keyboard with brown switch.

    :)

    Hello Dániel, sorry to hear you're having trouble.

    This is an odd issue as you're able to use the buttons normally in other games except those two. I would like to first recommend installing the Xbox Accessories app if you haven't done so already and test to make sure that all buttons are working properly there. If you're using an Elite try programming your buttons specifically for each game.

    If you have a separate controller try that one as well.

    Once done please restart your PC then launch the games and check their settings to make sure that no buttons are set incorrectly. If they are then be sure to set them properly.

    If this still does not work then I would like to suggest reporting the issue to each of the game's support teams as a bug in game play.

    New xbox series s controller xbox/home button not working (X in the middle)

    Hey thanks for responding, I hope you are having a good day as well. When I pressed the share button and saw the popup message of hold xbox button to see a screenshot and I did but nothing showed up, thats how I found out it wasn't working. When I hold it to try to reset it, nothing happens, but when I press it to turn the xbox it works fine, so I am not sure if it's not syncing properly or what exactly. the controller works fine I played games and it works, but the xbox button is the issue.

    XBOX ONE Controller Dpad

    A lot of Xbox One controllers seem to be deficient in some way or the other. My last controller's home and select buttons weren't working properly, and the left thumbstick seemed to make a clicking noise without me pressing the thumbstick's button. It just
    clicked whenever I moved it.

    I just got a replacement controller and its D-pad isn't working properly either. I can't seem to get a perfectly fine XbOne controller...

    Issues with console no responding/Black Screen of Death???

    When press the Nexus button nothing happens. I am unable to open up the guide or do anything else. My internet is fine since every other device I have is working properly. Like I said I even started my console without my Ethernet cable plugged in and nothing
    changed.

    What if I never download system updates?

    Then your system wouldn't be up to date and some features may fail too run properly.
    My system isn't up to date and everything is working fine - as long as I leave the internal HDD alone.

    All games and apps are being run by the external HDD.

    Console boots up fine as well - but just a black screen. No One-x chipset animation or xbox one green screen.
