Game Controller Vibration (Rumble) Not Working

4.5

The controller doesn't shake or rumble during gameplay events.

Symptoms
  • No rumble
  • Weak vibration
  • Rattle sound
Possible Causes
  • Disabled in game settings
  • Low battery mode
  • Broken rumble motor

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check Game Settings

Ensure "Vibration" or "Haptic Feedback" is enabled in the game's menu.

2

Charge the Controller

Many controllers disable rumble when the battery is below 10%.

3

Test in System Menu

Use the console's controller test tool to see if the motors spin at all.

When to See a Technician

If you hear a rattle but no vibration, the weight has likely fallen off the motor shaft.
