Hey guys, I've never posted here before, and I checked pretty thoroughly in the forum for the answer to my question before posting it here. I recently purchased a black custom controller shell for my wireless xbox360 controller. After I installed it to my controller, I started up Skyrim to make sure all of the buttons worked and noticed I couldn't sprint. I'd have to repeatedly press the sprint button to get it to work and then it would go back to not working. So lets call this the black shell with board A. In response to this I switch the shell over to a second white wireless xbox 360 controller that I had just confirmed was working perfectly in Skyrim. After the switch I had the custom shell on the confirmed working controller board and again opened Skyrim to test and.... no dice. The sprint button won't register almost at all. The exact same symptoms. Now I had the black shell with (Confirmed working board B) I can't see why putting the custom shell on the controller would make it not function properly. I did check other issues that people have had with sprinting and I have made sure I was not crouching and put the key bindings to default, I even deleted the SkyrimPrefs.ini file and let Skyrim make a new one with no effect. I tried also to rebind the sprint to other buttons to rule out the shell not hitting the switch inside the controller. None of the other buttons would sprint either. Finally I retried the other controller (The White shell with board A) to see if that would work again and for some reason when the controller board is in the original white controller shell, it works perfectly. I am baffled as to the cause of this. Any help would be most appreciated. I hope I was clear in my explanation, let me know if I need to clarify anything.
