    Microsoft receiver issue with Xbox 360 controller


    Hello guys.

    Today I've purchased a wireless Xbox360 guitar hero controller. I've had the Microsoft Xbox receiver at home so I thought it'll be an easy set up. Turned out it isn't. Or I'm just doing something wrong.

    Edit: I'm using it on PC.

    When I connect the receiver the PC recognises it, drivers updated etc, no problems there.
    However, the guitar controller won't connect to the receiver. I've tried everything, resetting but no. The receiver and the controller just keeps searching for minutes.

    What could possibly be the issue here?

    :)
