Sigh...
The amount of frustration building a PC caused me is quite immense at this point. The funny thing is that it's not exactly what I expected. Everything went fine and I had some trouble down the road but nothing serious.
Until peripherals.
We've had wireless controllers as standard for 15 years. How the hell does the brand new WIreless Dongle with the new Xbox Core Controller manages to disconnect completely every 5 minutes. I have to restart the controller to do anything. It lights up like it's connected but it doesn't show up in device manager. (XINPUT HID device, because a MS peripheral didn't push out an update yet and the capture button still doesn't work.)
I had to get a Razer mouse because I got interference from USB ports with my Logitech one. I don't have USB 2.0 (why the hell is that still a thing? I understand mobo headers but not the ports). This is an open-case ITX build (XTIA Xproto).
I used the damn extender too which shipped with the controller, it is not in the proximity of any USB 3.0 ports. I turned off the power saving mode on the adapter too.
This is using the same technology which can give me a rock solid connection on the Xbox One X. What the actual fuck is going on. Is there a fix? I mean the dongle is in front of me, there is like 40 cm between it and the controller. Clear line of fucking sight. Yet, every 5 minutes or so it dies. I also get insane latency if I put my leg in between, this has never been a problem with the Xbox which sat right where my PC is.
Is there any fix? Any way I could get a decent wireless controller experience sitting 50 cm from the PC?
I know this post is a bit angry rant-y. I am mad, it's true, but I genuinely asking for help because at this point I ran out of ideas.
