Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 lagging PC

Lucas00001 · May 10, 2022

Hi, I'm having problems with the Elite controller series 2 lagging my PC for example in Elden Ring and even in light games like Brawhalla. It all started when I tried to cast to my Nvidia Shield and then I tried to find the shield on my network so I could upload some movies instead of casting to it.

Anyone could help me troubleshoot what's conflicting and causing the frame drops? It gets really bad at times. Also I'm using the Xbox wireless adapter to connect.

Ps.: I also have another Xbox controller and no lag when using it, just the elite 2.

ps.2 I also noticed the sound keep breaking and Windows keep trying to use the sound driver of the controller instead of realtek (headphones)

My rig:

i9 9900k

MB Asus Z390-H

32Gb RAM 3200 (2x16Gb Aegis)

Gigabyte 3080 Vision

Razer Viper mini

Headphones Hyperx Cloud Alpha

Razer Blackwidow V3

2 TB NVME SSD 2x1TB m.2

Corsair Commander PRO

Thanks in advance guys.

There was a new update released, can you try updating your Elite Series 2 controller again?

I also have the Elite Series 2 controller and I do not run into these issues when using it with the PC.

Hi PsycoPyro88,

Thanks for the reply. The Elite controller series 2 has various methods of mapping the buttons and paddles as compared to the series 1. If you haven't done so already, I recommend taking a look at the following support articles that
can assist you in determining how to set up the different functions, including how to use Shift with the controller to give you alternate inputs:

Have you ever tried to use your Elite 2 Controller with a USB cable to your computer to see if the lag is gone or gets better?

By the lag, do you mean a drop in FPS or just buttons/actions you do on the controller have a delay to be made on the game?
