Common issue! Check the batteries or charge the controller if it鈥檚 a rechargeable one. Dead batteries = no fun.

Could be a firmware issue. Make sure your controller's firmware is up to date; you can update it through the Xbox Accessories app on your console or PC.

Interference can be a culprit. Make sure there are no large metal objects or devices emitting wireless signals nearby that might be causing the issue.
