  1. Help with connecting Xbox 360 controller to Windows 10


    Hello, I have been trying to connect my Xbox 360 controller to my windows 10 PC without any success. I have two types of controllers that I have tried this with, one is a regular Xbox 360 controller that would connect wirelessly to an Xbox, and another older one that came with the Play and Charge Kit, which is what I'm using to try and connect them to the computer. When I plug either of the controllers in, Windows makes the connection sound, but the controller's lights flash for a bit and then stop. When I go to test the controllers there is nothing. I have the 360 controller Windows 7 drivers installed because there are no Windows 10 drivers that I have seen, and device manager recognizes it plugged in as Xbox 360 Peripherals as "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit". Will this not work with what I have or is there a way to do it? Thank you.

  2. Xbox 360 controller won't connect

    Hi,

    You can connect an Xbox 360 controller wirelessly to your computer by using an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver only. For the instructions on how to connect your controller wirelessly using your Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver, you can follow the steps
    provided on this
    link
    .

    If the issue persists, we recommend that you connect the controller to the computer using a USB cable to test if there is an issue with the controller itself.

    Keep us updated with the results after performing the suggested solutions above.

  3. Xbox One controller being recognized as a 360 Controller

    Hi Stephan,

    There are several reasons why your Xbox One controller is detected as an Xbox 360 controller by your PC. It is possible that the controller is not updated or if you previously used an Xbox 360 controller on the PC, it is still detecting its drivers instead
    of the Xbox One controller drivers. To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

    • Have you used an Xbox 360 controller on the same computer before?
    • Does the error message occur on all of the games that you play?
    • Have you tried to update the controller?
    • Are you using an Xbox One Elite controller?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you update the controller by following the steps on this
