why does my ping spike when using my controller i am using a wired powera fusion pro 3 and...

PowerA JUST released a competitor to the Elite Controller called the FUSION Pro. It is half the price of the Elite Controller, doesn't look as "cool" and it is Wired. I know how you kids love your wireless devices. "Turn on my Xbox with my controller???
That is for CHUMPS!"

But seriously I'll tell you what sold me on it. My wife bought a wired PowerA controller 3 weeks ago so my daughter could play games with me. It has a 10ft cable and upon trying it out the controller instantly felt better than the standard Xbox One controllers.
The PowerA was slightly bigger, the sticks were stiffer and not "sunken in" like the X1's. I play Elite Dangerous and using the PowerA I fell more in control of my ship. In fact I tried using the wireless X1 to play Elite Dangerous last night and every time
I press the bumper buttons and the Dpad I felt like I was going to break it. The face buttons are NOT as fancy, the clear rounded X1 face button are nice...looking...but thats about it.

I will definitely try this one out.

Hi Team Processor



Thank you for posting to the Microsoft community.

I understand that you are experiencing ping spikes when using your wired PowerA Fusion Pro 3 controller, as well as other controllers, but not when using a mouse or keyboard. I can definitely help you with this issue.



Firstly, it's important to note that ping spikes can be caused by a variety of factors, including network congestion, server issues, and hardware problems. However, since you mentioned that the issue only occurs when using a controller, it's likely that the issue is related to the controller itself.



Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

• Check your network connection: Run a ping test on your computer to see your ping to a particular server. For example, you can try it with Google’s 8.8.8.8 to see whether the connection between your computer and that specific Google address is smooth 1. Knowing how to run a basic ping test is an essential step in fixing ping spikes on your computer.
  
• Update your drivers: Make sure that the drivers for your controller are up-to-date and installed correctly. You can download the latest drivers from the manufacturer’s website 2.
  
• 
  
• Disable power-saving mode: If you’re using a laptop, make sure that power-saving mode is disabled for your network adapter.
  
• Disable network throttling: Disable network throttling index on your Windows 4.
  
• Check for network congestion: Check if there are any other devices on your network that might be hogging bandwidth.
  
• Try a different USB port: Try plugging the controller into a different USB port on your computer.
  
• Try a different controller: If possible, try using a different controller to see if the issue persists.
  

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue with ping spikes when using your wired PowerA Fusion Pro 3 controller.



If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there may be a hardware problem with your controller. In this case, I recommend contacting the manufacturer for further assistance.



I hope this information helps you resolve the issue with your controller. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.





Truly Yours,

I recently started having this same issue with Windows 11. I'm using a PowerA Fusion Pro 2 Wired controller. Sometimes a button will get stuck on disconnect. Looks like the light stays on the controller like it's still connected.

I would seriously stop playing video games if they went back to wired controllers. It's also part of the reason I prefer X Box controllers over the PS4; if the battery dies on the PS4 controller when I'm playing, it gets turned off even in the middle of
a game. I never, ever, ever, want to play using a wired controller. -_- Lol.

Peace, J.R.
