    So yeah, starting about a week ago, my wired 360 controller will randomly start disconnecting a bunch (it actually seems to be switching players?), and if I don't unplug it, it eventually just crashes my entire PC. This doesn't happen with any other controller, not even my other 360 controller. (I don't use that one 'cause the left stick is messed up and my Logitech one is possibly the most uncomfortable piece of garbage I've ever laid my hands on). It used to work totally fine too until a week ago.

    Anyone have any ideas on what's going on and how to fix it? I've tried reinstalling the drivers, plugging it into a back port in case it was a weird power issue, cleaning out my PC and making sure everything is plugged in right, etc. Nothing worked. Is.....is this controller haunted?
