Xbox One X White Controller Lag in comparison to Original Xbox One Wireless Controller

COL TOFU · May 12, 2019

Hi,

I guess I revived an older post and was asked to create a new one.

So before a reader asks, here are my trouble shooting steps I have already taken.

1. Updated Firmware YES

2. Calibrated 4K T.V. for optimal gaming experience YES

3. Tested other controllers YES and they worked fantastic

Original post:

Hi, it's not the T.V. it's the Xbox 1 x controller. I just upgraded to the one x and noticed serious delay in the controller which makes Halo 5 unplayable. Before you ask, yes I optimized my LG 4K TV and used 2 other
controllers I had from the original Xbox one, they worked great with instant feedback. Both my original Xbox controllers left thumbsticks have now snapped a part inside due to left clicking (crouch) and moving to dodge shots (matrix style) or making crouch
jumps throughout multiplayer locations. Anyone good at H5 with motion and crouch jumps probably have broken a left stick or two. Now all I have is this new White Wireless Xbox One X controller that makes competitive gaming impossible.Yes, even running on USB
cable which is so two thousand and late. Besides the delay there are blatant dead zones on the right thumbstick as well. I am pretty upset by the quality control team. Had I realized the issue was the controller and not me having to break it in I would have
exchanged it but now I am 5 days over my 30 day return to gamestop and guess I have to work with the Microsoft Store. Before anyone suggests the elite I will decline because they use the exact same left thumbstick part that is a known issue to snap with clicking
and motion due to crouch movements in Halo.

So I ran by gamestop on my way back and grabbed a used original xb1 with warranty for good measure. FYI they must have a refurb department that swaps out X & Y joysticks because these aren't OEM and are trash. Frustrating times however...#firstworldproblems

Anyways, I did the 8 second hardboot with 5 minute cooldown and it appeared to help. Either it did ir I am just adapting as I went from worst to first in the last hour of grinding. Thank you to you both I hope it lasts.

In addition, I also turned my Halo 5 sensitivity down from a 5 to a 4 which helped stabilize my aim a little with this model. I am thinking these newer controllers may have higher sensitivity with slight button deadspace to avoid accidental commands. Maybe
what I was interpreting as deadspace was me just me flying past that zone in look and run. The run button still feels like it takes a second to register but again, if all other commands are registering maybe my n00b [Mod Removed- Inappropriate] just
needs to adjust more.

Have a good weekend all.

Sincerely,

XBC

Try performing a hard reset EXACTLY like this. Hold the power button on the console for 8 seconds or until the power shuts down completely.
Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes.
Plug the power cord back in and restart the console.

OK I will give that a try when I get home and circle back here to share my results.

I am guessing this is an attempt to resync/callibrate to the newer controller vs. the 2 older ones I just burned through in 1 week of intense sessions.

Thank you for the tip guys, hope it works!

Try power cycling your console by holding down the power button on your console for 10 seconds.

Retry afterwards

I take it back, I found the culprit, the left crouch is also damaged on this one causing my issues. [Mod Removed- Inappropriate] 3 controllers in 2 weeks. Ugh.
