Xbox Elite Series 2 controller has "stuck" inputs on PC for some reason.

Hello,

I just lately acquired a secondhand Xbox Elite Sequence 2 controller to make use of on my Home windows 10 PC. At first, it had a really badly unresponsive proper bumper, however with a little bit of WD-40 contact spray and folding the little plastic contact piece as soon as on itself, the difficulty appears (largely) solved.

Nonetheless, I've really been unable to really check if it's mounted (not to mention play a recreation), as a result of now, the controller at all times sends an enter to the PC, identical to if a button was pressed on a regular basis. And I'd wish to insist on the truth that it didn't do this earlier than the opening and the making use of of WD-40 contact spray. Testing via the xbox equipment app is unimaginable as a result of it tells me the controller is connecting/deconnecting/reconnecting on a regular basis, and when testing via the properties tab, the property window reveals me this:

As you’ll be able to see, when the controller is solely laying on my desk, buttons 1 and three to eight are sending an enter for god is aware of why.

I’ve tried uninstalling the controller via the management panel, reconnecting it, updating W10, … nothing works.

My different, customary xbox one controller works simply high-quality. It's not sending random inputs like this. The elite collection 2 controller wasn't doing that in the first place. One thing sooner or later occurred and now it's mainly trashed. It doesn't work in video games both due to the fixed inputs being despatched. I haven't examined on my xbox one but however possibly it should magically repair the controller?

I’m out of concepts to repair this. Once more, making an attempt to replace firmware via the xbox equipment app doesn't work as a result of the bug renders the app unusable.

I’ve seen many individuals making posts on varied boards complaining in regards to the xbox controllers sending fixed inputs to the PC generally even when disconnected afterwards (and I really had that points some years in the past with a 360 controller), however I’ve discovered no repair.

This controller was costly, even secondhand. I would really like it to work with none concern however apparently that's an excessive amount of to ask. Any recommendation is appreciated. Thanks!
