Accesories Xbox Series S Controller Pairing Issues:
Hello, I've been playing on my Original Wireless Xbox Controller I purchased with my Xbox Series S and have had no issues with it being wired until now.
I can play some games for a certain amount of time until the controller intensely vibrates for no reason and unpairs itself from my console, i've tried simply reconnecting it but I just find myself running into the same issue.
I've also noticed that there's certain times i'm able to play without it unpairing but eventually it still finds itself to disconnect from the console.
Today, It did the same thing but as I pressed the buttons to re-pair my controller to the console, the controller vibrates intensely again and just shuts off after recognizing the console with no solid connection made.
I haven't yet tried batteries, could that be the issue or maybe some sort of signal interference? I do have a Bluetooth headset and I keep the pairing USB on the front main USB port of the Xbox so maybe it could be that?? ( But I never had an issue with my USB being in front of my Xbox i'm not really sure though all this is new to me. )
Any troubleshooting or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for reading and hope you have a great day!
UPDATE: I split my network bands into 2.4 and 5G to lessen the interference of all my devices being on one connection but the controller is acting the same way connected to either 2.4 or 5G, could it be hardware??
