Any good stories where the batteries in you controller or mouse/keyboard died

My xbone controllers gradually started getting worse and worse a few months ago. Both of them have play and charge kits, but even the slightest touch of the cord would disconnect the controller. If they weren't plugged in they would work fine for about 3 minutes until they would just disconnect for no reason.

I tried everything: batteries, no batteries, plugged in, unplugged, moving my xbone, other people's controllers, etc. and nothing worked.

I came to the obvious conclusion that it was the xbone, and not the controllers.

I was so bummed, because I knew Microsoft was going to be such a hassle to deal with.

So I packed up my system, drove to the Microsoft store, and this ensued:

Walk up to guy who immediately helps me. (No reservations needed like at the Apple Genius Bar.) I tell him the whole deal. About how every controller I've tried is doing the same thing.

He asks me: "Have you tried doing a full shut down of the console?"

"Uh yeah bro..."

Without a second question he responds with, "Okay great, we will just replace the console for you."

It was like a wave of euphoria better than most drugs. Good guy Microsoft doesn't even plug in my xbone to test it, just hands me a new console to replace it. The kicker, he also gives me 3 free months of XBL for the "hassle".

The new xbone has been running brilliantly with zero problems.

Good guy Microsoft is my boyfriend now.

sounds like a controller issue, but it could also be a problem with the driver. Do you have Windows 10?

Yes, but I haven't updated the driver since I installed 10.

Come to think of it I think the problem started with 10. I'll reinstall the controller and go from there!

Thanks!

I've died many times in critical moments in bloodborne because my controller died and the game doesn't pause.

etting low during a raid and it's important to be able to plug right in.

I had that happen once. I just changed my battery and went on. It is easier to switch batteries and raid then feed a baby while raiding. I have mastered the feeding so no issues lol

My GF called me into the other room. I said " be right there" but really ignored her to keep playing battlefield. Controller died about 10 seconds later, so i sighed and got up to see what she wanted. She wanted the D.
