How to Turn Off Vibration on Xbox Series X Controllers | S and PS5
Tactile feedback – and vibration in general – has become an integral part of modern consoles. Your controller will vibrate at certain opportune moments during gameplay, such as when your character lands hard after jumping, or when you’re driving off-road in your favorite racing game. While this feature can be useful, there are also several good reasons to disable it.
First, people who experience repetitive stress injury (RSI), such as carpal tunnel syndrome, may experience discomfort due to these vibrations. If you want to avoid pain, life without controller vibration is a very small price to pay. And even if you don’t encounter this problem, the continuous vibration of the controller in some games can be very annoying. I’m a big fan of Forza Horizon 4 , for example, but every time I step a couple of feet off the road my Xbox Series X controller jerks off due to vibration. Sometimes it’s enough.
If that’s enough for you, here’s how to turn off these vibrations on your PS5 or Xbox Series X controllers | S.
