Introduction

If the joysticks, buttons, or triggers do not respond as expected or at all, this page may have a solution.

Causes

1

General Checks

Restart the connected device
Ensure the controller is fully charged
Reconnect via Bluetooth
Update firmware using Turtle Beach software/app if available

2

Button troubleshooting

Lightly clean around the button with a microfiber cloth
Check for debris or sticky residue
test the button in a controller input tester app
If the button feels physically stuck, avoid forcing it - this may indicate internal wear

3

Stick troubleshooting

Recalibrate the analog sticks in the device's settings
clean around the base of the stick with compressed air
Test for drift using controller diagnostic tool

4

Trigger Troubleshooting

Check trigger sensitivity settings in-game or in the device menu
inspect for debris around the trigger hinge
gently press the trigger repeatedly to see if the issue is mechanical or electronic
uneven or unresponsive triggers often point to internal sensor or spring issues
