If a newer version firmware is available, this text will be red and the "Update Controller" button at the bottom of the software will be enabled; press this button to update the TurboFire 2 wirless firmware.

Answer:

Don't worry, your controller is not broken or defective. The way the LEDs illuminate the left & right grips has changed since the latest firmware update.

Depending upon which function button you've pressed, and what function you have assigned to that button, the LEDs will illuminate differently.

LED Illumination Guide

Function 1 - OFF Function 2 - OFF
Function 1 - OFF Function 2 - ON
Function 1 - ON Function 2 - OFF
Function 1 - ON Function 2 - ON

NOTE 1: If you have assigned the same function, such as Sniper Mode, to both function buttons, both LEDs will NOT illuminate simultaneously. If Function 1 is pressed, the right Grip LEDs will illuminate, if Function 2 is pressed the left Grip LEDs will illuminate.

NOTE 2: If you have not assigned a function to a function button, the LEDs will NOT illuminate when that function button is pressed.

Answer:

If your wired Xbox Live headset & mic aren't being detected, please try the following:

1. Be sure the Mic switch is not set to mute.
2. Be sure everything is connected properly.
3. Try the headset & mic with another controller to be sure the headset is functioning properly.

If you've performed the above checks properly and everything seems to be correct, try this:

1. Disconnect the headset from the TurboFire 2.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the TurboFire 2.
3. Reconnect the battery pack to the TurboFire 2
4. Power the TurboFire 2 controller ON.
5. Reconnect the wired headset to the TurboFire 2.

NOTE: To avoid this problem in the future, iIt's important that you connect your wired mic and headset to the TurboFire 2 controller AFTER it has been powered on.

Answer:

In short, no.

The speed in which button commands are accepted by any game is determined by the software developer. If a developer feels that bullets, or punches, etc. are being delivered too quickly online, they are completely capable of patching their software to lower the acceptable rate of fire for online play.

The rapid fire feature of the TurboFire 2 controller can be customized to meet the maximum rate of fire for both online and offline gameplay.

Note: Online and offline firing speeds may vary due to developer restrictions, patches, or latency in online connectivity.
