Can you combine wireless and wired controllers for xbox 360?

BigMarkV · Aug 9, 2014

Before I spend the money I need some advice…. With multiple players, can you use a
combination of wireless and wired controllers for xbox 360? I cannot find the answer anywhere. Thanks for help before I buy new controllers.

All the Xbox one controllers will have a USB port so you can plug into your xbox one wired. I like wireless better but those professional gamers prefer wired.

I like how the X1 one controller is both wireless and wired. Unplug the cable for wireless, plug in the cable for wired. No need to buy two controllers anymore, just one controller that converts to either.

You can search for "xbox one wired controller" and see what options are out there. The Xbox one was designed to work with up to 8 wireless controllers so wired controllers were probably not too much of a concern

Are you using 2 wireless controllers, 2 wired controllers, or a combination of the two?

Hello im tring to hook up my xbox 360 controller with charge cord....

H,

That's your problem, right there. Unfortunately, if you connect your wireless Xbox 360 controller with a charging cable, all your doing is charging the controller.

The 360 wireless controller can't be turned into a wired controller with the charging cable as neither the controller or the wire were designed to send data this way.

You either need 360 wired controller or an Xbox One controller. Xbox One controllers can use wired or wireless, but wireless is only supported via Windows 10.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

There is no driver to download or update for Xbox 360 controllers on Windows 10. You just plug them in.

Note: Xbox 360 wireless controllers can not be turned into wired controllers. A 360 play and charge cable can only charge a battery or power the controller if no battery is present, it does not send data.

If you have a wired 360 controller just plug it in, no driver required
If your controller is wireless, you need an Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows.
