This worked! Thank you so much!! I've had difficulty finding technical support for this since it's a relatively uncommon headset, but this addressed the exact issue I had. I appreciate it a lot!
Thank you I was starting to wonder if it was me or all my battery were low I've followed your instruction, with success for the controller provided with my Acer Mixed Reality AH101
Thanks a lot, I feel less alone having this issue, here in 2024 trying to get my gear to keep working before it's discontinued, I'll need to try that and see if it works for me!
Fun fact: This issue may be the reason I got my WMR cheaper. The guy who sold it to me charged me 100€ less than the price for a new model but from the receipt he included in the package, I could tell that he only purchased it 2 days before making the listing to sell it. He must've thought the low battery thing was just a broken controller or something.
i did this on mine years ago, and it seemed to help. i also cut away some of the plastic and greased the spring for the trigger as it was really squeaky.
This is good and I've done this multiple times now but it doesn't always fix the problem since its also about the battery voltage. Normal AA or nimh rechargeables drop their voltage and even though they still have like 70% of charge left the voltage is low enough for the controllers to go into low power mode. Im looking into those lithium AA batteries with a usb C port since these hold their voltage of 1.5V till the end.
@@philosophy4242 yeah okay thats true. If I google lipo AA battery those usb rechargeables come up but on the product page itself it only says lithium so I don't actually know which kind they are
yeah, you can tell theses things are a microsoft invention. typical of them to not have the consumer in mind. they 100% would have known most people would use 1.2v rechargeables with them, and yet they designed them to not work properly with them. i struggle to see how that could be an oversight. seems borderline deliberate to me. a very strange thing for them to do.
i think i have the same problem. my controller has not been using for long time. so the battery has spilled. and that fluid had covered all over around. i try to clean them. but it doesn't work. i think i have to disassemble and clean like that. i wish that could be worked.
This only works if your already using 1.5v batteries. If you are using rechargeable batteries they are most likely 1.2v, look for 1.5v rechargeable ones. WMR controllers are rated for 1.5v bats when 1.5v bats get low they go to 1.2v and so on and thats what the controller reads and makes the low battery alert. (Disposable Alkaline batteries are 1.5)
Yeah they're designed for a nominal voltage of 1.5v so anything lower is just detected as a dying battery. Shame there isn't an option to disable the battery saving mode (which disables haptic feedback).
I guess Odyssey controllers are different enough that there aren't even any screws to unscrew in the battery compartment, so I'll have to figure out another way to open them up.

wow, this worked! I thought my system was just dying but a quick clean and they work like brand new! thank you!
Glad it worked for you!

You can get lipo as batteries
@@philosophy4242 that is literally what I am talking about
@@NickDerMitHut you said lithium.. that could mean lithium ion or lithium polymer.

thanks bro I thought there was something wrong with the batteries I bought
Thank you so much for this video, dude.
thank you it worked.

Hmmm thats weird. Let us know if you figure it out.
Thank you very much!
i didn't work for my sadely, and my batteries are 1,5 Voltes
