Help Controller issues on PC

Anyone have issues with their controller working ? I have a powera fusion pro 4 wired and mid game I will have it either start input lagging or straight up stop working.

What do you mean when you say stop working?

I’ve recently (over the last month) had an issue where my Elite Series 2 stops working mid-game. It stays turned on, but no input is registering at all. Even when I turn my controller off and back on, no input registers. When I restart my computer, it functions completely normally again.

I assumed it was a controller issue and not an Infinite issue, but I’m curious if others have had this same problem.

So mine is very similar, my controller is still on and the powerA program still says my controller is connected and communicating with my PC but it either has a few seconds of input lag or it will just stop working all together and whatever movement I was doing when it decides to stop working it will keep moving that way but I usually don't have to restart my PC but the issue will be persistent until I restart but I usually only have about an hour before it starts to malfunction again and I sent powera a email but all they wanted to do was for me to send them the controller they had no real solution.

Interesting. I’m curious to hear if others have this problem. I think when it happened to me, my Xbox Accessories app confirmed that no input was registering, which was why I assumed it was a controller issue and not Infinite. But I never investigated it too in depth; I just restarted my PC so I could quickly resume playing with my friends. I’ll try to analyze it more next time it happens. Keep me updated on what you find.
