Do you feel like you ever got over the initial setup period? A lot of what you are describing is what I encounter after a fresh install but I don’t typically have any issues after a little bit of tweaking.

This was a few months ago so I can’t recall a lot of the specifics unfortunately.

What I can recall was using a 90w Ali Express soldering iron with a conical tip to solder a damaged original Xbox controller cable. The leaded solder seemed slow to melt on the tip but wouldn’t melt to the wire when I applied heat on the under side.

Sorry I can’t tell you more. I was looking to do some practice this weekend and wanted to know if I should be ordering a thicker tip or something.

Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up using both of those when attempting this and ended up with a lumpy cold solder looking connection.

Without the the flux I wasn’t able to heat the line enough to get the solder to melt.
