Problems with Xbox Series X Control Buttons? you are not alone

Well, Nintendo and Sony have their drive buttons, but Microsoft is currently facing its own set of controller issues for the Xbox Series X and S in this generation, partly a last-generation transfer, and if you experience this, you are not alone .

Microsoft has acknowledged a persistent issue with unresponsive face buttons on the current Xbox controller:

“At Microsoft, we test all of our products through careful quality assurance testing and are committed to providing customers with an unparalleled gaming experience. We know that some gamers may no longer respond to their new Xbox Wireless Controllers, and our teams are actively working on a solution. For the best experience, we encourage customers to visit Xbox Support for assistance. ‘

At the moment there is no solution and you can exchange it under warranty, but the process can be somewhat difficult. For an example of what’s actually going on, you can watch this video of Jake on YouTube showing how a Y reaction does not respond during testing:

An unresponsive face button is likely to be a worse issue than the joystick, the biggest issue with Sony’s PS5 controller in the moment-to-moment game, although it’s not clear how widespread the buttons are. is not. But when they struck, they struck hard:

Since we’re talking about a four-month window since its launch, it’s … pretty bad.

Microsoft, like Sony and Nintendo, has already faced a lawsuit over controller issues, but it wash for joystick drift, actually a problem less familiar with the Xbox controller, but sometimes one and the same. But they undoubtedly want to experience another problem over button issues, and therefore they will try to solve it briefly.

It seems to be a pattern among modern controllers, and it’s easy to go through multiple in a generation, not because of any form of abuse, but normal wear and tear that causes problems with the joysticks, the battery life or now, the buttons. Even Microsoft’s expensive Elite controllers have had a similar problem in the past, so it’s not even a completely new problem.

It is clear that more work needs to be done to ensure the longevity of these controllers as more and more technology is trapped in them as the generations progress. But the basics seem to be failing, the joysticks and the buttons, and there is currently no end to these issues for any of the major players. Stay tuned to Xbox for possible solutions especially for this button release.
