I guess this is never getting fixed for me in the insider builds. Worked for months, then just stopped on my LG B6 OLED. They keep saying they see reports of it not working, but nothing is being addressed.

I'm in the Beta ring and yes, I have night mode.

Haven't had any issues with crashing/bugs/etc.. in beta either.

I've activated night mode on my controllers and Series X with a piece of black tape for some time now....

... On the advice of a Microsoft support rep, no less.

How low down does the new option turn the controller / Xbox button lights? I had my elite series 1 down to the lowest if I recall and that was still kinda above where I wanted it.

Well that sounds great.

Are there levels (e.g. 1-5) or just 'on / off'?

Which controllers / consoles does it apply to? Series X / S / One X / One?

Yep, I believe there's 5 levels or so, with Off being the lowest level. I've only tried it on a Series controller so far on my Series X.

Wonderful!

I ask about the systems because I'm surprised they've kept it back as a feature, if dimming was an option all along.

I remember it being a legit selling point for the Elite controllers.

If my One X console / controller suddenly get the option then I'll be happy, but wondering why it took a while to arrive!

How is there no option to turn off the boot up chime? Every time it blows my ears out. Is there any news about this becoming an option?

Also, the HDMI CEC issue must be major one. It's been broken for many since launch.

Anything that makes it easier to get typing onto a friendlier screen is good in my book. It was the best thing about Smart Glass.

I hope this makes its way to things like searching the store, etc, and isn't limited to Chats only.

(Tangent - I know not possible as MS has opted against including it in the XBox controllers, but I honestly thing gyro is the best solution for text entry on console. The way you can use it to navigate keyboards in the PlayStation menus is great. It's odd and frustrating to me that Switch does have gyro as an option but doesn't let you use it for keyboard entry).

Twitch link broken? I just get a spinning circle and never completed.

Got it to work, but it's jank. Website says the wrong game Title, and can't change stream name. Keeps crashing or saying something wrong.
