Xbox One Elite Controller rumble motor issue

Pyromjm · Mar 6, 2016

I just purchased an xbox one elite, and have been playing destiny for a few days. Suddenly one of the rumble motors is acting weird and making a whining noise while rumbling. I tested each motor in the xbox accessories app and discovered it is the right
main rumble motor that is not functioning properly.

XBOX One Controller PC Rumble

I purchased an XBOX One controller for use with my PC (I don't own an actual XBOX One console, only a 360). It works perfectly, just as expected, except for one thing: rumble. I hate controller rumble and always make an effort to turn it off whenever I can.
However, many PC games (All of the ones I own, actually) don't provide an in-game option for disabling the rumble feature. How can I disable rumble for the controller itself (without physically opening the controller and cutting the wires to the motor)?

Controller Rumble Makes Humming Noise

I have a Day One Edition Xbox One and the controller makes a noticeable humming noise when the rumble is activated. Is that normal? It sounds like motor noise. I never had this in my Xbox 360 controllers.

I am also getting this issue with my 20 day old Elite controller, except the left rumble motor is what is making the squealing noise for me. I used the Xbox Accessories app to test the inividual rumble motors and it seems like the left rumble is squeaking
worse when I reduce the rumble level to 50% and below.

The noise sounds like the capacitor whine which some graphic cards suffer from.

Actually as far as I know there are four rumble motors in the Xbox one Controllers as opposed to the two in the Xbox 360 Controller.. The Xbox One Controllers has the "impulse motors" in the triggers.. But I assume that onyx62is could have ment to say that
there are two more rumble motors in the Xbox one Controllers than there is in the 360 controllers..

With the Nintendo 64, the Rumble Pack was an option, but not every developer at the time considered the use of Rumble Motors for games until Sony released the Dualshock Controller for the Playstation. Now the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 have rumble motors
in their controllers and a large percentage of games utilize that technology for a more interactive experience.

There are some great third party controllers out there that are a fair bit lighter. Generally my suggestion is to look for controllers without rumble, the rumble motors are some of the heaviest components in them, so if you can find a controller without
rumble motors it'll be quite light. The hyperkin SNES style controller might be worth checking out.

I still want a controller without Rumble Motors...
