random double a button presses registering. all games, multiple controllers, all...

Exactly some button pressed on the controller don’t register with the console. But not all the times. As I sead before it sametimes work properly.

all my Xbox One controllers have suffered from stick drift and erratic buttons (sometimes they don't register, other times they register multiple presses)

I bought a wired 360 pad to play games on my PC years ago (the game was Juiced2 HIN to give an idea of how long ago) and that pad is still 100% with no drift and buttons functioning as intended, but a few months playing Forza Horizon 3 or 4 is enough to
wear out an Xbox One controller.

if it was possible, I'd use the wired 360 pad with the One, but sadly that isn't an option for some reason.

Hello, is it one of the 3.5mm jack controllers? Otherwise, it wasn't designed to be pressed anywhere but in the ends of the LB and RB buttons.

Also, tried running software like Xpadder to confirm whether it is being registered at all or it may be the game?

Your not the only one, same issue during light or quicker presses on my Elite controller as well. I use the D-pad for all menu navigation and find it (D-Pad down) failing to register 3-4 out of 10 presses. I refuse to use it, forget gaming with it.

When that button clicks, the input should register, period.

Try this:

.

Press and hold the console power button for 5-10 seconds until it powers off.

Power the console back on and try to connect the controller with the console again.

If steps 1 & 2 did not help, try another controller.

If another controller works, and you have already replaced the batteries in the non-working controller, you will need to replace an accessory (your console will need to be registered)

If multiple controllers do not work with your console, and you have tried all of the troubleshooting steps on this page, please select problem with a device to request a repair (your console will need to be registered)
