Series X|S Controller - Huge latency difference between wired and wireless after firmware...

Wired connection for the Series X and wireless for the Series S. Doesn't seem to make much difference.

Hi!

Of course, the pad will be compatible with Series X, as specified in the
glossary.

One of the first points to reduce latency is within the communication between your controller and your console. By bringing our existing high-bandwidth, low-latency wireless protocol on the Xbox One family of devices to Xbox Series X, we’re able to not
only reduce latency in your gaming experience but also ensure all of your existing Xbox One gaming accessories will be compatible with Xbox Series X.

Hi,

Just a few questions to help pinpoint what's causing this error and so we can assist better:

1. What Xbox console are you using - Xbox One or Series X|S?

2. Are you using a wired or wireless controller and is it a genuine Microsoft one or a third party controller?

3. Is this only happening in games or in apps and/or the Home screen too?

4. Are you experiencing this issue with other controllers? - I'd recommend trying to see if the issue occurs with a different one, if you're able to.

5. Does it disconnect unexpectedly (check controller light) or is it just a latency/response issue?

Make sure the controller is updated to the latest firmware and there's no wireless interference between the console and controller. Also disconnect any other accessories then power cycle your console, following instructions here

Thanks for all the answers.

As two of you mentioned, cloud gaming is powered by Series X now, like I mentioned too.

I still have the same question. Isn't there also quality difference in graphics between Series S and Series X? Like textures are more detailed and shadows are rendered better in Series X? Now if Series X is used on cloud gaming, isn't those improvements then on Series S too via streaming from cloud? Or are the Series S and Series X exactly the same graphics wise in general but Series S just has lower resolution?

I understand that cloud gaming isn't 4K and there might be latency issues etc but that wasn't my question.

Thanks.

Did your controller ever work before, or are you just trying to get it to work now?

The drivers for the Xbox 360 are not available for download independently anymore, and there is no reason for them to be, as Xbox 360 controllers have been natively supported by Windows since Windows Vista. The drivers can't be downloaded because they are already part of the Windows Operating System.

Is your controller wired or wireless?

Unlike Xbox One or Series X|S controllers, Xbox 360 wireless controllers are always wireless. If you've attempted to connect a Wireless Xbox 360 controller to your laptop with the Play and Charge cable, it won't work. This is because the Play and Charge does not send data. It will just flash. Xbox 360 wireless controllers need an Xbox 360 gaming receiver.

Only Xbox One or newer Series X|S controllers can be both wired and wireless.
