  2. Wireless Xbox One controller requires PIN for Windows 10.

    Hi,

    You will be asked for a PIN when connecting your wireless Xbox One controller via Bluetooth on Windows 10 if your Bluetooth drivers are not updated. It is also possible that you have to reset the controller to remove the PIN. To resolve your concern, restart
    your controller by following the steps below:

    • Power off the controller by pressing and holding the Xbox button on the controller for 6 seconds.
    • Press the Xbox button again to power it back on.
    • Connect your Xbox Wireless Controller to your PC using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.

    You can also update your Bluetooth drivers by following the steps on this
    link
    .

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

  3. Need HELP with XBOX controller for PC

    Hi, I have a Mad Catz Xbox controller (with cord)...

    I have a hard time using it with certain PC games because most games expect me to use a XBOX 360 controller where as this one is not 100% like a xbox 360 controller...

    It has 4 buttons on the right (same as 360)
    It has 2x triggers
    It has 2 thumbsticks
    2x small buttons on the left and 2x small buttons on the right
    but it has NO BUMPERTS (like RB and LB)

    For some reason, windows doesn't seem to recognise the two TRIGGERS like buttons... when I press them, I get a X axis flash instead of a button lighting up...

    Can someone give me some step by step so I can use it and configure it to my liking...
    Right now I'm trying to use it to play Assassin's creed revelations on my PC
