Xbox Series X Controller vibration problem on PC

UrosRelic · Nov 14, 2021

Recently my xbox controller started doing really weird vibrations in Xbox studios games, like Forza Horizon 4 and 5, Sea of Thieves etc.

While i test the vibration in the accessory app it works completely normal aswell as some online controller testers. In Borderlands 3 and other games that have controller support vibrations works normally. Vibrations feels like it's really weak and noticeable only in the triggers and it's completely different from few months ago. Keep in mind i played Forza Horizon 4 normally for months and recently it started doing these weird vibrations, but works normally elsewhere.

Does anyone have this problem also?

Hi TomaXBOX2016!

Your Xbox Series X/S controller should still work normally on Xbox One console.

Make sure to change your vibration settings.

Press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then select Profile & system > Settings.
Select Accessibility > Controller, and then select Vibration settings.
If you have multiple controllers, choose the controller that you want to change and select Configure.
For an Elite Series 2 controller, select the configuration profile that you want to change, select Edit > Vibration, and then move the sliders to adjust the vibration.
For an Xbox Wireless Controller, select Turn on vibration to turn vibration on or off.

I have the Robot White X Series controller, with all firmware updates. I use it on my PC via blutooth. I continue to have this issue as well as long as vibration is enabled. Try turning off vibration (we shouldnt have to) to stop the controller from disconnecting. But when will we have a REAL RESOLUTION MICROSOFT?!?!?!!?

Hi UrosRelic,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums! We are sorry to hear about your issue and would love to help out. Can I ask when was the last time you updated the controller that you mentioned above?

Well this is quite interesting. I have the Series X/S controller. Initially it worked well. All of a sudden the vibration stops. Xbox game bar shows the battery is critical while Bluetooth shows 100 percent battery,

In game controllers i notice the controller shows up as razer xbox 360 controller.......i do have a huntsman analog keyboard. i wonder if this is affecting the controllers for some reason. I uninstalled the razer software but i also see the LE Xinput compitable input device.....

My ps5 controller has stopped vibrating on pc now also. it worked great in fifa and forza horizon 5 but now vibration is off completely.

I fail to see how microsoft can get this so horribly wrong
