360 Controller on Xbox One?

Zip Martin · Jan 24, 2014

Although I seriously doubt it's possible, I'll ask anyway. Is there any way (including unofficial mods) to use a 360 controller with the Xbox One? I like the new controller layout and ergo; I like the vibration from the triggers in Forza 5, but it's quality
is sorely lacking compared to the 360 controller.

Green light wont turn on

Have you synced the controller to the Xbox 360 system? Turn on the Xbox 360 system and controller, on top of the controller there should be a small button, hold that button. On the White Xbox 360 or Black Xbox 360 elite, there should be a button too, press
it and your controller should sync up with the Xbox, the controller will confirm this by flashing.

On the Xbox 360 slim, the button is located inside the USB bay.

Is there any way I can use my xbox 360 controller on the xbox one? Or make the xbox one controller more like the xbox 360 controller?!

No. They are 2 completely different pieces of electronics.

PeJa466: I don't think referring to a company who pushes mods like rapidfire and all the rest is the best way to voice an opinion about xbox controllers. Most companies could make a 360 controller work on an xbox one and throw in all the prohibited stuff
as well. Question is, should they??

Hi there,

A 360 controller will work with a 360 console, and an Xbox one controller will work with an Xbox One, but a 360 controller will not work with an Xbox One and vice versa.

I would say the xbox one controller is better for fortnite and since the 360 controller people still use today for Gta 5 but that is only on the Xbox 360, because Xbox 360 controllers do not work on
an Xbox One, so you'll need an Xbox One controller. You cannot use an Xbox 360 controller to play games on an Xbox One.

It's a 360 controller, not Xbox One controller. Wireless 360 controllers don't have those ports.

The Xbox one controller uses a different hardware and software setup than with the 360. The drivers in the controller are incompatible with the xbox one with the 360 controller. The circuit board is completely different, and the software inside the controller
also is different.

On a computer, there are 2 separate drivers for the 2 separate controllers. You can't run a 360 controller if you have a xbox one driver in the computer.

I wish you could use a Xbox 360 controller on the Xbox one controller. I like my
Xbox 360 controller more then my Xbox one controller. i don't think anyone(Microsoft of controller
manufacturers) will do Backward compatible controllers.
