Regular Xbox One Controller Vibration

xTheWarfighters · May 9, 2019

Hi guys!

Soooo for the past few years I have been purchasing the Xbox Wireless Controller – Armed Forces II Special Edition because I like the color. I just recently purchased another one because the one button was acting up and Gamestop accidentally sent me the
black/silver/grey one. Upon setting it up and using it, I realized that on the black/grey one the vibration was REALLY hard. It like jumps in my hand while I am using it, and it's really annoying. The Xbox Wireless Controller – Armed Forces II Special Edition
had a softer vibration.

They are both in the same family, why is it so different? Is there a setting that I am not aware of that changes the level of vibration?

What I've Done:

I went to the game menu, vibration and fiddled with that, it either turns it off or on.

I also went to ease of access, controller vibration settings, on and off and fiddled with that on it's own and with the settings above - nothing, it's either off or really high vibrations.

Queen: lol my mom literally said the same thing about new controllers having notable vibration and maybe my older one's vibration wore out!

I guess I just gotta get used to it! Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the Elite controllers have some sort of a level for vibrations? I haven't purchased one just yet, but I thought I heard something about that!

Thanks for the help!

Diego: Yep! I played CODBO4, I even switched them as I was playing lol. They are very different.

Ah well. Thanks anyway guys.

Hi
xTheWarfighters,

Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums.

Only the Xbox One Wireless Elite controller is able to modify the vibration levels through the Xbox Accessories app, but I do know that many games have different vibration levels designed into the game. Are you playing the same game as a comparison between
the vibration levels of both controllers?

The softer vibration could just be from wear and tear since the vibration on a new controller can be rather strong. If the vibration is more of an annoyance than beneficial, it may be better to just have it off. Personally I play all of my games without
vibration because I feel it as more of a distraction, but again that's a preference that is different for everyone.

From my own gaming experience, newer controllers always had a notable vibration. Like mentioned above, the wear and tear of a controller might cause its vibration to be softer. Some games have different vibration patterns, too. For example, when I first
started playing GTA V on the Xbox One, the vibration was so annoying to me. Of course I eventually got used to it, but it just felt weirder than other games.

For an Elite Xbox controller, select the configuration profile you want to edit. Then Select Edit > Vibrate and move scrollable sliders to adjust vibration settings.
For the Xbox Wireless controller, select Enable Vibration to turn controller vibration on or off.
