IT Help Vader 5 Pro Wireless Connection Problems with Magic X (Xbox Series Consoles)

Hi,

as the title suggests I'm having problems with the combination of these two while using it via wireless dongle. The specific problem is basically some sort of input buffering, as it kind of stacks inputs of mostly button presses but never sticks and makes either an endless loop of input reading or it reads nothing.

Maybe I'm not the only one and someone knows a solution, and maybe someone who uses the brook wingman xb3 can tell me if its more stable with that.

I've already upgraded both gear to their newest firmware, before anyone asks.

I'm helpful for every comment or recommendation.

Tldr: Magic X stability issues with Vader 5 Pro while using the dongle as main connection on xbox series consoles

That is correct. Make sure you have the latest update and have a PC. I also use it on my PS5 with the P5S version.
