I recommend getting another controller and seeing if that works. You could just be one of the unluckier folks and have a factory defect controller. If the new controller doesnt work as well, then try using a different USB port. Sometimes the connection in the USB connectors can be a little funky. If all else fails, just use a different (OEM) controller.

It's the controllers micro USB port.

I sprayed some electrical component cleaner in it, plugged it in and unplugged it multiple times (to get the cleaner to penetrate and clean the contacts) then wiggled the cord end at the port a few times, started working again.

I've even unplugged and plugged it back multiple times, works like a dream.

Hope this helps someone else!

I have this controller too,

Try wrapping the wire around the front of the controller (over the home button then down) two times

This may work but it may not at the same time
