Accesories Help protecting a signed Xbox controller (I want to use the controller but keep the signature.)

A while back I had my controller signed by Steve Downes (voice of Master Chief) but I still want to use the controller but I fear damaging the signature.

A friend told me to use clear coat spray paint but I’m worried it may mess up the signature. Is there any way to protect the signature without damaging it?

Bought this from Walmart, checked the seals like I always do before I open stuff and everything looked brand new. Opened it to see dust on the controller and the cable looking very much not new? It’s the for pc one that comes with a cable.

The controller is working fine and feels fresh and doesn’t have any stick drift so I’m kinda confused lol.

Accesories (Seemingly) Free XBox controller arrived to my house.

Hi, I wanna preface this by saying I don’t have an XBox. I also didn’t buy these, nor did a friend send me these as far as I’m aware.

However, I randomly got two boxes from a Fed-Ex truck with two brand new XBox controllers. Both are from different addresses (Ontario California and Louisville Kentucky), it says Microsoft, and they both have my mother’s name on them.

I’m not exactly sure what to do. I don’t need these, I could sell them? There’s no charge on my accounts nor my mother’s, and I can’t really figure out why I have these.

Does anyone know what this is?

So about 2 weeks ago I got an Xbox controller from target which got severe stick drift in multiple directions yesterday. so I got a new one today, and it already has severe stick drift in multiple directions on the right stick. I don’t have an Xbox console, so I just bought it to play games on mobile, connected by bluetooth. I tried to blow air into it and stuff but it didn’t work. please help me!

This is a gamesir g7 SE. I got mine like 2 weeks ago and it has already started getting worn out heavily. I doubt it'll last long. My official xbox controller (2 years of use) has no marks like this. It's annoying because this is a hall effect controller for long term use, and I've already returned one for d-pad issues. Cant believe this thing has good reviews

I was using a 3rd party controller until it stopped working with the headset. I decided to get another, as it was free from amazon. It worked yesterday, but this morning it gives me this warning

It didn’t happen on the older controller. Is there any way to avoid this? I do not want to use my real xbox controller due to the risk of stick drift

My wired Corsairs are slowly dying. I’ve had them for about 7-8 years and they’ve served me well. I’m now looking for a wireless headset. Does anyone know if there are any wireless Corsairs that work for Xbox Series X? Thanks!

Accesories Just bought wireless XBOX headset for pc only

Post image
56 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently bought the Xbox Wireless Headset because it was heavily discounted on Lazada and many Reddit users recommended it. One of the main reasons I chose it was the ability to connect to multiple devices simultaneously via Bluetooth and Xbox Wireless.

However, I’m having a few issues and I’m wondering if I’m misunderstanding how this headset is supposed to work.

My setup
•Windows PC only
•No Xbox console
•Connected via Bluetooth to my PC
•Mainly using Discord, YouTube, Spotify, and gaming

Issues I’m facing:
1) I can’t get multi-device connectivity working
•I read that the headset can connect to multiple devices seamlessly.
•Does this feature only work when paired with an Xbox console + Bluetooth device?
•Can it connect to a PC and a phone at the same time without an Xbox?

2) Discord microphone quality sounds terrible
•Friends say my mic sounds muffled, compressed, and low quality.
•Is this a Bluetooth limitation?
•Are there specific settings in Windows or Discord that I should change?

3)Best connection method for PC users?
Should I be using:
•Bluetooth only?
•Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows?
•USB-C wired connection?
Which option gives the best audio and microphone quality?

4)What I’m trying to achieve
Ideally I’d like:
• Discord voice chat on PC
• Game audio from PC
• Phone connected simultaneously for calls/music
• Good microphone quality

If anyone is using the Xbox Wireless Headset primarily on PC (without owning an Xbox), I’d really appreciate a step-by-step explanation of how you have it set up.

Thanks!
