I have an Xbox elite series 2 and the trigger rumble used to work for Forza Horizon 6 when I used Bluetooth. The problem is that I recently upgraded my CPU and motherboard and no longer have built in WiFi/Bluetooth so now I have to play with a wire. I still get main body vibration but the triggers feel totally dead. If I have to get a WiFi card I will, but do you guys have any insight for anything I can try before that?

    I don’t have a fix for you, but a note: I dunno what driver you’re using, but if it’s xpadneo, as of this 2022 issue:

    …it sounds like even on Bluetooth, what’s being done is a limited-functionality version of what the pad supports. It sounds like the kernel API presently just supports emulating rumble functionality on the triggers, whereas the game controller apparently is capable of providing (more elaborate) force feedback, variable levels of resistance at various points as you depress the trigger.

    Double check you don’t need a different driver for a wired connection. Double check it’s not using the default 360 controller or default USB controller driver. Confirm Bluetooth will solve the problem by testing with a USB dongle before committing to a card. Save your receipt so you can return it or keep it as a backup solution.
