    Xbox Wireless Controller Acting as Mouse and Keyboard in Windows


    Hi,I received an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller recently and connected it to my gaming laptop first via bluetooth then via usb cable to set up the Xbox Accessories app.The issue i'm having is that certain inputs on the controller seem to correspond to keyobard or mouse actionsHolding up on the left stick and pressing A will increase the volume by 2Holding down and pressing A decreases itHolding in any direction on the right stick and pressing A moves the mouse very quickly in that directionI'm sure there are others I'm missing. Pressing X in games quickly switches the key displays to keyboard

    XBOX One Controller is acting as Keyboard

    Hello everyone

    I just bought a xbox one controller, and plugged it with a mini usb. And updated it on the windows store using "Xbox accessories"

    When launching joy.cpl every key is working correctly, but it's using Keyboard features as well

    Thus, in game, it acts like a keyboard and does not act as a controller.

    Thus it does not work in game

    The left pad is acting like Arrows as an example.

    How could i disable everything so it only works as a controller ?

    Thanks

    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.
