Most X2s issues are physical-connection or power related because it is wired. Reseat the USB-C plug, remove a bulky case, and enable OTG on Android phones that need it to power accessories. Stuck rapid inputs usually mean turbo is on (double-tap Capture), and off-center sticks are fixed with the G + S + HOME calibration or dead-zone tuning in the GameSir app.
