Xbox series controller bluetooth mode, cannot be used properly

Terrance Tang · Mar 11, 2023

My newly purchased Xbox series controller cannot function properly in Bluetooth mode. Buttons would still be triggered even if I stop pressing them. I tried to roll back firmware but it showed "error". Due to the arbitrary nature of the issue I cannot confirm whether it would work consistently on other pc's, so I can't tell whether the problem is in my pc or the controller. My pc is an Asus TUF series gaming laptop. Moreover, the controller is identified as "HID-compliant game controller" on gamepad-tester. I also tried to reinstall the drive from"hid...." to Xbox wireless controller, still didn't work. I'm so frustrated, please give me more advice

It sounds like you have already tried some troubleshooting steps, so here are some additional suggestions:

Try using the Xbox controller with a different Bluetooth-enabled device to see if the problem persists. If the controller works properly on another device, then the issue may be with your laptop's Bluetooth hardware or drivers.
Make sure that your laptop's Bluetooth driver is up-to-date. You can usually find the latest driver on the manufacturer's website or through Windows Update.
If updating the driver doesn't help, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the Bluetooth driver.
If none of the above solutions work, you can try resetting the controller by pressing and holding the pairing button on the back for 10 seconds until the Xbox button flashes rapidly. Then, try pairing it again with your laptop.

The Xbox One adapter works with all Xbox One and Series controllers. It enables the features bluetooth cannot as it uses a different system called WiFi Direct

This guy gets it. Please optimize the controller correctly for bluetooth use. That's a huge plus from the series 1; Main reason I upgraded from it. Least you could do is have it function properly
