    In the past couple days my xbox controller just started to act up and what it does is when i press the home button to turn it on the light will turn on but when i take it off the light wont come back on. I tried seeing if the batteries were loose and it

    You should get some new batteries. Most likely it's just the weak charge in your current ones

    Try replacing the batteries. If you are using a rechargeable battery try to use AA batteries to verify it's function.

    Hi there have you tried charging the controller with the cable plugged into the xbox or tested the batteries are actually working, another thing you could try is see if the cable is the problem causing the controller not to charge correctly.

    I hope this issue resolves for you.

    All the best

    Xbox One Triggers and Bumpers- how do you play?

    I have 5 fingers in each hand. My thumb is my 1st, and my little finger, pinky, 5th.

    I use my thumbs for the toggle sticks, home button, chrome arrow button section, and YBA and X buttons, and home button. I use my 2nd fingers for the LB/LT/BT/RT. Sometimes when I use my 2nd and 3rd fingers for the LB/LT/RB/RT triggers, when I need to use
    the tiny buttons aka which look like 2 box windows, the other with three straight lines, and I use my thumbs for those two small buttons on the controller. I have small hands not grown-up hairy hands ;D. So the controller feels great in my hands. I actually
    love the Xbox 1's controller more than the wireless controller which came with my Xbox 360 slim console. But first time users be warned! The controller vibrates extremely powerful. Some others including Lei Fang have commented they don't like the way the controller
    vibrates. One of my friends who's 12 says he got a shock by how strong it vibrates. I call the Xbox 1 controller design ingenious. But I think they went too far with the vibration motors inside. I give the Xbox 1 controller a solid 'A' though.
