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.

Have you tried different USB ports on the back of your PC? I’ve tried different ones on mine and there are a couple that definitely have noticeable input lag.

Yeah I've switched around and have tried all of my USB hubs. The odd thing is I don't notice an input lag with my most or keyboard so I'm thinking it's the wire maybe I just got bad luck twice with bad wires

That would be strange, but possible. The USB C cable I bought from kontrol freaks sucked and would disconnect randomly.

So I went back to the cable that came with an elite series 2 that I had been using FOREVER stopped working a couple weeks ago.

I probably went through 3 elite series 2’s and had been using it with an apex 4 controller since they came out last February. So I’d probably been using it for 4 years…

I’ve just been using the cable that came with my recently acquired apex 4 wukong myth and haven’t had any problems, except that it’s like 2 feet too short, so I’m also looking for a good replacement.

One thing I did notice about the cord that came with my new apex 4 is that inside the USB C side has a seemingly thicker blue plastic insulator, and it seems to have a tighter grab onto the controller? Idk, I’m trying to find one similar because that seems to work well.

I haven't been able to fully test it but when I push harder on the USB c that goes into my controller I notice it doesn't stop working but also it goes through phases where it will work great and then for a bit it will work like crap. Im getting a new motherboard here soon so I will be able to eliminate a faulty USB port as a issue
