FAQs
1. Will the QRD Ferrox M5 get banned on Xbox in the future?
No, there is no risk of being banned. The Ferrox M5 connects via the included USB Dongle. If Xbox releases a system update, we typically provide a Dongle firmware update within 1–3 days, ensuring ongoing compatibility. This is the same proven process we use with our QRD BlackPill PS5 converter, which has been stable and reliable for years.

2. Does the Ferrox M5 have joystick drift issues?
No. The Ferrox M5 uses Hall Effect joystick technology and undergoes a precise manual calibration algorithm at the factory, ensuring there is no drift by default.
- The controller ships with an extremely low default deadzone (close to 0), providing near-instant response.
- Since the deadzone can be customized, if you notice slight drift when connected to certain devices or in specific games, it is usually due to device/game compatibility. In such cases, simply increase the stick deadzone slightly using the controller’s built-in deadzone adjustment settings as described in the user manual.
- With these safeguards, the Ferrox M5 ensures long-term stability and precise input without the common drift problems seen in other controllers.
3. Can I adjust the analog stick deadzone and sensitivity?
Yes. The Ferrox M5 allows players to fine-tune analog stick deadzone and sensitivity curves for pro-level precision.
- The default deadzone is extremely low (close to 0), ensuring near-instant response out of the box.
- Users can manually increase or decrease the center deadzone range for each stick.
- Sensitivity curves include Square, Circle, and Diamond, providing measurable differences in stick response speed and control accuracy.
- All adjustments are saved and remain effective after restarting the controller.
4. In FPS games, does the Ferrox M5 support Aimbot and Macro functions?
The Ferrox M5 supports advanced macro features. It includes two back paddle buttons, which can be programmed to any command such as rapid fire or combo skills.
- As for “aimbot”, controllers themselves do not include this feature. However, by setting macros on the back paddles, you can simulate rapid-fire actions, improve accuracy, and gain a competitive edge often described as “aimbot-like.”
- Independent YouTubers have tested similar setups, showing how macros can enhance shooting performance.
5. Does the Ferrox M5 support headset audio and microphone?
Yes. The controller includes a 3.5mm audio jack, supporting both headphones and microphone input for in-game chat.
- If headset audio does not work, check that your system audio output device is correctly set.
- If using Apple EarPods and still facing issues, try another headset brand to confirm compatibility.
- If the headset still does not work after correct setup, please make sure your controller and USB Dongle are updated to the latest firmware (check at: qrdgame.com/blogs/software/tagged/qrd-ferrox-m5).

This controller is praised for its excellent finishing touches, great quality, and flawless performance on Xbox Series S and X. What’s more, it’s also compatible with other devices like laptops and Nintendo Switch. The battery life is long-lasting—especially when the LEDs and vibration functions are turned off—and the controller offers a comfortable grip and fast response to button inputs.
The product description states that this is a controller for Xbox Series X/S, but it actually works with multiple devices—including Nintendo Switch, PC, Android smartphones, and Android tablets. Thanks to the included USB receiver, you can easily connect it to these devices.
This is an excellent option as a secondary controller. If you’re a gamer or just love video games, you’ll appreciate that it has more buttons and customizable settings than a standard Xbox or Nintendo Switch controller. That said, you should read the user manual to learn about and configure all of the controller’s functions. You can also customize the LED lights, vibration intensity, and the mapping of certain buttons.
My favorite feature is the USB receiver—it’s a lifesaver when your Bluetooth connection is maxed out after pairing 2 or more devices.
Fantastic controller! The standout feature is the 3.5mm headphone jack, which works flawlessly in wireless mode on PC—a rare find indeed. The audio output is loud and crystal clear. On top of that, it’s equipped with Hall effect sensors, performs perfectly on both PC and Xbox, and offers unbeatable value for money—especially since it’s already available locally in Brazil.
This controller exceeded my expectations from the first time I used it. I originally bought it mainly for my Xbox, but I was pleasantly surprised that it works flawlessly with my Nintendo Switch and PC too.
The buttons have a solid, satisfying feel—just like the ones on a professional-grade controller.
The ergonomics are excellent as well: it fits comfortably in your hands and doesn’t cause fatigue even after hours of gaming.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a controller that delivers both performance and comfort in one device.
This controller is absolutely fantastic—it works perfectly with Xbox, Switch and PC. It comes with a wireless adapter that ensures a more stable connection and virtually zero input lag. It also features LED lighting and multiple back buttons that you can program for macros. I’ve put in quite a few hours of gaming with it and the battery still hasn’t run out. 100% recommended!!!
This product is great! The option to turn off the LEDs is perfect for saving battery life.
Awesome
This controller is really great! The turbo mode is an absolute game-changer for certain titles. I also recommend updating both the controller and the dongle before first use.
Excellent product, I liked it very much!
This controller is excellent—it meets all my expectations. It’s highly precise and comfortable to game with. 100% recommended!
This controller meets all my expectations!
That said, every time I turn on the console, I have to unplug and re-plug the dongle for it to recognize the controller. Occasionally, as soon as I power it on, several buttons get randomly triggered. What’s more, the controller doesn’t display the battery level on the screen, which makes things a bit unpredictable during gameplay. Other than these minor issues, it’s been performing well and is highly responsive—I use it with my Xbox Series. Now, we’ll have to wait and see how it holds up against joystick drift over time, which is the biggest concern for me!
Really great! It has all the same features as the Elite controller.
This controller is of excellent quality and comes with anti-drift joysticks for long-lasting durability. It features customizable back buttons, and best of all—RGB lighting on the front around the joysticks. Highly recommended! I’m using it for my PC, and it works seamlessly with both Steam and non-Steam games.
This controller is absolutely amazing! Not only is it super stylish with its LED lights and acrylic shell, but it also comes with essential features like turbo mode, programmable macros, and Hall effect sensors. I recommend it to everyone and would buy it again in a heartbeat!
It feels a solid 10 out of 10! The RGB lighting is awesome, the build quality is top-notch, and the triggers and joysticks are excellent. It connects instantly to the Xbox Series S.
This controller is really great—it worked perfectly on my Xbox.
Very good.
