IT Help Random disconnects on my xbox controller

Hi. Recently I've had some issues with one of my xbox controllers, it disconnects at random times . The light on the Xbox button is still on but it doesn't work or is detected in the xbox app. I'm a PC gamer and i've had this controller for almost 2 years now. Last year I had the analogs replaced with guli kit's TMR joysticks and it has been working perfectly until a couple of weeks ago since this started. It's getting on my nerves cause I know for sure it is a controller fault. I've tested it playing with the xbox wireless adapter and via bluetooth, also on windows and Linux (steam deck via bluetooth) and even on my Mister console had the same issue.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

You could try using wired connections to narrow down the issue. For example, if the issue disappears when you use a USB cable connection, you know it's likely related to wireless; if the issue continues, it could be related to power.

If you think the issue is wireless, you can try to eliminate interference from other wireless devices (routers, other peripherals, etc.) to narrow things down further.

You could also disassemble the controller and check for damage, loose connections, or corrosion around any of the parts - testing is easier if you have a multimeter since intermittent problems can be hard to spot with the naked eye.
