PDP Afterglow Wired Xbox 360 Controller: Afterglow glows, but doesn't work

Sun, 24 May 2020 05:18:32 -0700

Hello, I have bought an Afterglow Wired Xbox360 Controller about a month ago and plugged it to my PC with Windows 10 64-bit. It was working perfectly, glowing and rumbling, I was playing Dark Souls. Then I went with my family for about 2 weeks, and came home 2 days ago. I tried with The Witcher 3, to see how would it work with Afterglow, and worked without problems.

Today's morning I plugged my Afterglow, and it's glowing green by all LEDs, but Guide Button doesn't, and whole controller isn't working, neither with Souls nor Witcher. Windows doesn't beep when I plug or unplug it, doesn't see it at joy.cpl, Device and Printers or Device Manager, controller just glows green so he must be powered-up. I tried with USB in front and back of PC, still only glowing. Same problem with my friend's PC and Xbox 360, just glowing, not working. Could you help me?

PDP Afterglow Wired Xbox 360 Controller: Left thumbstick cracked and coming off, and rubber pads dont last?

Thu, 26 Oct 2017 16:02:57 -0700

I do not know if its my fault, excessive use, or what, but basically the left thumbstick on my Afterglow wired controller has cracked and is now missing most of the surface area. The rubber pads that were on the joystick never lasted long either on both thumbs. Should I just use different controllers or replace my joysticks or something? I haven't seen another controller before with this problem, except in very minor cases on original Xbox controllers. Without all of the surface area, moving in the correct direction is a bit more difficult of a task, and when clicking in the stick to sprint in games can cause pain on my thumb.

The RB/LB bumper buttons for the afterglow controller are a different style than the official xbox 360 controller replacement buttons that I've found. Are these sold anywhere?

Hi, I got an Afterglow Wired Xbox360 controller about a two months ago and I connected it to my Windows 10 64 bit PC. It was working perfectly, I stopped playing and the next day I connected it again but this time it only turned on the chassis led and the PC didn´t recognize it.

So, How can I solve this problem since it doesn't recognize the control in any way?

This ain’t the first time drop in it though. This time it fell on my carpet and when we went to turn it back on there was a dim light from the top of the controller and one of the buttons are continuously pressing down. Then after about 25 seconds it turns back off. Help
