2 Wired controllers both try to be player 1, input only accepted from last controller that is ...

I purchased 2 brand new, wired microsoft branded xbox 360 controllers for use with my xbox 360 E console. When both are plugged in, they try to be player one, and only the last controller plugged in will work. Similar to the problem documented
I haven't gone on the buy even more controllers for testing.

Troubleshooting steps taken.

1. powered off the console, power it back on, with both controllers plugged in. No change.

2. power off the console, unplug power from the console. power on the console with both controllers connected. no change.

3. power off the console. Power on the console with no controllers plugged in. Plug controllers in after console is powered on with nothing else connected, no change.

4. Plug controllers into different USB ports, including the ones on the back of the console, no change.

5. With no contollers connected, power on wireless controller, it comes up as the first player controller. plug in first wired controller, it comes up as player 2. Plug in the second wired controller, it also comes up as player 2 and only the second wired
controller that was plugged in works.

6. With no contollers connected, power on wireless controller as the first player controller. plug in first wired controller, it comes up as player 2. power off the wireless controller. plug in second wired controller, it comes up as player 2. only the
last wired controller that was plugged in works.

Each controller works by itself, so I have no reason to believe the controllers are faulty. All of the USB ports work. I have to think there is some software problem.

Unable to use multiple XBox 360 controllers while streaming

I have two XBox 360 wired controllers plugged into two USB ports on my Windows 10 desktop. The controllers work, and I can, for instance, open up Fallout Shelter and navigate around with either controller.

The problem starts when I stream to my XBox One. Suddenly only one controller accepts input. Either controller works in either USB port if it is the only one connected, but with both controllers plugged in, input is only accepted from one of the controllers.

I am trying to play a 4-player game with my two XBox One controllers and two XBox 360 controllers. But for whatever reason I am maxed out at 3 players only since something is blocking the second XBox 360 controller.

 

wired xbox 360 controllers

Okay. Here's a list of what I did to try and trouble-shoot the issue.

1 - Turned off and unplugged XBOX 360. Plugged in 3 Microsoft brand wired controllers into USB ports on the back. Plugged in XBOX 360 and powered on. All 3 controllers show Player 1. Unplugged each controller individually at the in-line release/breakaway
connector and reconnected. No change. Each still shows Player 1.

2 - Turned off and unplugged XBOX 360. Plugged in 1 Microsoft brand wireless controller into USB port on front (I know it's a wireless controller but this one is used and the rechargeable battery is completely dead and won't hold a charge.). Plugged in
3 Microsoft brand wired controllers into USB ports on the back. Plugged in XBOX 360 and powered on. All 3 regular wired controllers show Player 1. Wireless controller that's plugged into a USB port shows as Player 2.

Thanks.

 

The same happens to me.

if you get any solution, please notify us.

I will continue investigating the matter.

If I get something, I do know you

 

I requested an exchange of one of the controllers from amazon, and they shipped the replacement before I was required to send one back. I now have 3 wired controllers, and any 2 of them that are plugged in will come up as the same player. I guess I'll
keep requesting exchanges until I come up with 2 that work together, or they get tired of it.
