New xbox one s joystick range problem

Mcon2020 · Jan 2, 2020

Hi

I am new to xbox and not sure if this is normal

The joystick turns off when 6ft away from console. Do I need to buy extended range joystick. This does not make for fun gaming.

Is this normal. My other consoles easily get 12ft

Hiya!!

I would try to replace the batteries just to make sure that they are still good. I would also try to resync the controller to the console by pushing the button on the front of the console by the RF sensor. Once it starts blinking, press the sync button
on the controller and see if that fixes that issue.

Happy Gaming!

Try performing a hard reset by pressing the power button on the console for 10 seconds or until the power shuts off completely. Then unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes.

Thanks for reply.

Will that erase games from memory

Thanks for the reply. That’s useful.

This is the joystick.

Hopefully might work with XBox S/X which if I’m right wouldn’t require any game subscription? Sorry I’m completely new to this.

Same here, the exact same problem on my XBOX series X and S....

from 6 joysticks I have, only 2, elite 1 and and old xbox one s controller, without updated firmware, are working fine.

but all my fancy new Xbox series controllers are having this problem since past year and I was thinking the problem were my controller battery (I have the official charge and play battery on all my controllers)

hopefully they will address this soon...
