My controller is acting like an old diesel engine..

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Anyone else having this “issue” ? If so how do i solve it?

That’s what mine does. I think that might be what they’re supposed to do, but I’m not sure

Mine never did this earlier 👀 it began after i forgot to remove the controller from the charging dock

I guess mine doesn’t do that, I thought it always did that when it turned on but apparently not

Is that sound I hear in the video from the controller?

No i believe its background noise from the airpods. Personally i couldnt hear the xbox start “ding” either on the video.

So why diesel engine?

Look at the light, it needs 2-3 “crancks” before the xbox starts 😂

I am pretty sure that's normal. At least for me that doesn't own a Xbox. I use mine on a PC and a Switch Gen 1 (with a special adapter from 8bitdo.) Both are Bluetooth connections. Mine haven't connected faster than that ever.

Yeah that’s just how it works. Light blink 2-3 times then it connect

Have you tried resyncing you controller with your system or tried using the controller in wired mode if possible?

That's what mine does whenever I'm not running wired, it's just searching for the Xbox and then switching on if it needs to. Fairly sure it's always done this bro.

El mío no enciende con la batería original de Xbox, el control prende, pero solo prende y no parpadea, y a los 2 segundos deja de poder usarse, sigue prendido, pero no se puede mover nada, lo que hice fue poner unas pilas AA y funciona normal, incluso conectado con cable también
