At the risk of sounding retarded I thought I'd mention an issue I found with the xbox one pad last night. Mine had stopped rumbling in all games but still worked fine in all other regards. So I contacted support - they told me to switch vibration on in my games, however it was already on - no joy there then. I then phoned up the helpline and once again they took me through the "turn vibration on" thing and once again it didn't change anything, so the guy put me on hold. He came back a couple of minutes later and told me to change my batteries to a fully charged set - now, bearing in mind the batteries provided were duracells and I think I'd be right in saying I'd got about 10 hours out of them AND the pad still worked, I have to say that swapping batteries didn't occur to me..however-it worked. It looks like the controller switches off rumble on it's own when battery power gets low(ish) but doesn't actually tell you about this leaving me rather perplexed and frantically searching forums for answers (of which there do seem to be some genuinely broken pads but NOTHING about batteries!).

The 360 pads do exactly the same thing. The difference being that the 360 pads have a very visible 'your battery is running out' indicator.
