I got a brand new xbox 360 controller yesterday. The buttons are good, soft and responsive but I think I have a problem with the right motor. It mostly make sound while not vibrates at all !!!
Long story: I play Assassin Creed Brotherhood for a while and feel the vibration's weak. So I follow this thread to try test the vibration . I download both x360ce_lib32_r848_VS2010.zip and x360ce.App-2.1.2.191.zip, put them in the same folder and run the program. However, it need something and tell me it will download it but take forever to load (internet is OK).
Pic 1: the program need something.
Pic 2: If I skip it, there's a warning
Despite that, the program still recognizes correctly all the inputs. Then I try to test the vibration, the left is ok but the right one just make a loud noise while the vibration is weaker. I tell the support guy and he say the reason is those 2 motors are different. I still can return it if I want.
Short story:
It's make a loud noise when it vibrates, the sound is totally different than the left motor.
My question is: is my controller is bad? Should I return it or use another tool to test the controller again?

I don't really have a "answer", but I had a similar problem with a wired controller that my brother traded me. I don't mod but I like to "tweak" stuff like controllers just cause. I opened it up and the leads to the motor I was having the issues with were shot. I grabbed 2 motors from RadioShack, replaced the ones in the controller and everything was fine after that. I've even taken motors from old tape players and used them. But your controller is new so you may not be to fond of cracking it open. But if it can't be returned and there's no warranty, it's worth a shot, in my opinion. It's real easy to do, just make sure you're not using different size motors. Hope this helped in some way..
