Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor, happy to assist you today.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your Xbox controller while playing games on the Xbox App from your PC. Here are some troubleshooting tips that may help:
1. Check for updates.
2. Check your USB port.
3. Check for audio cord obstructions.
4. Check for damaged HDMI cable and ports.

I hope this helps resolve your query.

The lag doesn't bother me that much, just leave and find another game that doesn't lag.... (Not that i do get a lot of lag). The thing that does get to me is the modded controllers with rapid fire, quick knifing etc.... I see it as if you can't play the
game then don't bother... Don't buy a controller that makes you good. At the end of the day if you're not so good or one of the best players it's just a laugh but meh... modded pads need to be stopped.

update: controller makes no difference, i have exactly the same amount of lag with another controller

Yes it does. You're either not setting something up right or you're trying to control the laptop through the XB1, which makes no sense.

There is a lag with mouse controls, though, just as there's a lag when hooking up the X360 to it.

Because this isn't a pass-through HDMI port. It's app controlled, making the claim it's pass-through a lie to consumers.

If you are experiencing right stick input lag on your Xbox Elite controller when exiting games back to the Home Screen, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

Update the controller firmware: Make sure your controller is running the latest firmware. To check for updates, go to the Xbox Accessories app, select your controller, and click on "Device info". If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

Check controller settings: Make sure the right stick sensitivity and dead zones are set correctly in the Xbox Accessories app. You may also want to try adjusting the stick response curves to see if that improves the input lag.

Try a different USB port: If you are using a wired connection, try plugging the controller into a different USB port on your Xbox or PC. This can sometimes fix input lag issues.

Reset the controller: Try resetting the controller by pressing the small button on the back of the controller near the USB port with a paperclip or other small object. This will reset the controller's connection to your Xbox or PC.

Test with a different controller: If you have access to another controller, try using it to see if the input lag issue persists. This can help you determine if the problem is with the controller or with your Xbox or PC.

If none of these solutions work, you may want to contact Xbox support for further assistance. It's possible that there is a software bug or hardware issue with your controller that requires a repair or replacement.
