Can somebody tell me a xbox wireless adapter that works with the elite controller?

Daniel Burkardt · Jul 30, 2023

I read that some sticks are not compatible with the controller. Also, I can not buy it anywhere because it seems sold out everywhere. There are some clones on Amazon but I am not sure which one will work.

Does anybody know where I can buy an original xbox wireless adapter? Or atleast a clone from amazon that works 100%. Because with a bluetooth stick the connection is buggy and sometimes I receive no input at all.

Thank you for your fast reply. I looked at it (german site) and I couldn't find the stick anywhere to buy. There is one bundle where the controller has the stick included, but everywhere else, its either not available or not even listed. sadly.

I understand, unfortunately there is no way to know if a generic adaptor will work well. Hopefully someone else on the forum can tell you about their experience with one or you can find the official adapter from a local retailer.

Hello!

Hope you are well. I'll be glad to help you, just remember that you're not talking to a Microsoft employee.

It is not advisable to purchase generic items as there is no assurance that they will function properly.

If you are looking for the official adapter, you should look for it with the authorized distributors in your country that you can find in this link

That adapter will WORK with the Elite controller.

When I got my Oculus Rift, the set included the older model of the Xbox Wireless USB Adapter with a Xbox controller, and my Elite Controller works on my Windows 10 PC with that adapter.

The newer version is simply a bit smaller.

So you do NOT need a special "Elite" wireless adapter (which doesn't exist).

Incidentally, I checked on the page where one buys the receiver, and it says that it works for *any* wireless Xbox controller, so that shouldn't be the issue either.

Can you point us to the page so we can see which wireless adapter you bought?

Due to a change in the wireless protocol, Xbox 360 and Xbox One use a completely different "language" to talk wireless.

So unless a third party created a wireless receiver that can talk both protocols, I'm afraid the Xbox 360 controller will NOT work with a Xbox One compliant wireless adapter.

It might be, that the page says that you can use "any" Xbox One controller with the Adapter (e.g. standard wireless controllers, the Elite wireless controller, the wireless speed wheel, etc.), but you will NOT be able to use Xbox 360 accessories with a Xbox
One wireless adapter.
