    Pro controller trigger malfunction


    Hello. I have purchased an xbox pro controller two months ago and i have been enjoying it. I have recently had this problem where the right trigger has stopped working. it will not move as if it is stuck on something . when i try to adjust the hair trigger slider it does not have an effect. it appears to push past whatever its stuck on move all the way down if i push it to the left and down. In game the button is held down. Is there a potential way fix to this? or exchange it for a not broken one?

    :)

    Pro controller trigger malfunction

    Hi forzone,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your controller. When you mentioned "Pro controller", are you referring to Xbox Elite 2 controller?

    As part of our initial troubleshooting, please power cycle your controller: Press and hold the Xbox button for 5-10 seconds until the controller turns off. Wait a few seconds, and then press and hold the Xbox button again to turn the controller back on. You can also reset your Xbox Elite 2 controller to its default settings using the Xbox Accessories app.

    Open the Xbox Accessories app

    Select your controller

    Select Configure

    Choose a profile

    Select Edit

    Select Restore to default

    In addition, kindly make sure that you have the latest firmware updates installed:

    Connect the controller directly to your console or Windows device using a USB-C cable

    If the controller works properly with a cable connection, continue to the next step.

    If your controller turns on when connected with a cable, try updating the controller firmware:

    On a Windows PC, you can do this by installing the Xbox Accessories app from the Microsoft Store, and then connecting the controller while the app is open.

    On an Xbox console, press the Xbox button to open the guide and then select Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Controllers & headsets. Select “…” under the controller that you're troubleshooting to check the firmware status.

    If you're unable to update your controller, visit:

    https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/...

    Another tip is to clean your controller

    Dust and debris can build up inside the controller and affect the electrical components. You can try cleaning the controller with isopropyl alcohol, cotton buds, and a hair dryer.

    If you've updated the firmware, tried the reset the controller but the RB is still not working, then your controller needs to be replaced. If it's 2 months old, it should still be covered by warranty. To set up a replacement order, go to:

    https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/...

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    no mods

    There's not much that can really be done. Be a pro and have an awesome trigger finger. Don't use modded controllers.

    Right trigger malfunctioning

    If the controller is still under guarantee and has has not been dropped or damaged you could send it for repair.

    If not under guarantee you can request and exchange/repair of your current controller but the price difference between this and a new controller you could just purchase a new one and keep this one for a spare or when you have friends around.

    Right trigger malfunctioning

    Yup, it hasn't been damaged at all, I never let it fall on the floor, drench in water and what not.

    I've had it for like 3 months. Should I contact my local retailer or microsoft themselves? Thanks for answering my question.
