Hi asmith1902, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

asmith1902, if as indicated the controller does not have the function of vibrating even connecting it in multiple ports and both on console and PC, I am afraid that it is already a mechanical issue, coupled with the fact that it indicates that it is updated with the latest firmware.

Try submitting a service request for your controller from the following link:
