    Xbox 360 Controller Connecting to a Windows 10 Laptop

    The above are correct, the only way to connect a wireless controller is through the 360 wireless USB adapter, otherwise you would have to use a wired Xbox 360 controller. That will also connect without the wireless. The play and charge will not all ow
    the USB connection.

    How Do I Connect A Wireless Xbox One Controller To Windows 10?

    Hi,

    That wireless gaming receiver only works with 360 controllers, not Xbox One controllers. The Xbox one controller uses a different wireless protocol.

    If you have Bluetooth for your PC you can pair the controller and use wireless this way. If you don't, you can buy any BT 4.0 USB dongle and connect using that. The dongles cost no more that $8.

    Or you can buy the official Xbox One wireless receiver for Xbox One controllers.
    Ahh, that explains it, thank you very much. Unfortunately I don't have Bluetooth inbuilt in my PC, but I can definitely buy a dongle. Does it need to be specifically a BT 4.0 dongle?

    Les Paul xbox 360 guitar won't pair with guitar hero 360 dongle on Windows 11 PC

    The guitar hero dongle was for the last game with the black and white buttons, do you need an official Xbox 360 wireless controller dongle. The guitar connected directly with the 360 originally

    Wireless Xbox Controller For Windows

    its the same wireless controller as the one that comes with any 360 it just comes with the USB wireless dongle that plugs into your PC. all you need to do is hold down the sync button on the dongle and the one your 360 controller and it will work with it.
    I bought just the dongle on ebay and it worked with my old gray/white controller from my old fat 360 and my black one from my slim.

    Xbox One Wireless Bluetooth Controller Unresponsive in Windows 10 Games

    I recently bought an Xbox One wireless controller specifically for PC use and I ran into a similar problem. I thought the controller would connect, but it doesn't unless I have this USB dongle attached to my computer. It's a little wireless receiver or
    something and that is the only way I can get my controller to connect and respond appropriately. I did have to go into the Accessories app and update the controller, but even still I didn't realize that some controllers need this dongle and others don't, even
    though both are marketed as wireless.
