Introduction

Before using this guide, make sure that the issue is with the controller buttons and not with the wired connection. Inspect the connection from the Afterglow controller to the Xbox One for any fraying in the line or damage with the connection ports (cracks, bent port, broken plastic).

Read each step fully before starting. If any steps are done incorrectly, it could cause damage to the internal parts of the controller.

Before starting this guide, disconnect the wire from the controller.
