    Can you connect the One controller wirelessly to your PC using the old 360 adapter?


    I currently have a 360 controller and adapter for my pc and am considering upgrading to a One controller but I don't want to waste more money if I am forced to buy the One adapter as well and might as well just stick to my 360 controller until they phase
    the support out in the newer pc games.

    SO can you connect a One controller to the PC via the 360 adapter?

    THIS adapter just to clarify if people are getting confused >>> http://www.amazon.com/Ortz®-Xbox-36...d=1454588153&sr=1-2&keywords=wireless+adapter <<<

    To THIS controller without using the adapter that is in this link (just showing the adapter here to show the difference)>>> http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbo...d=1454588153&sr=1-4&keywords=wireless+adapter
    <<<

  3. What do I need to play xbox one

    IF you can connect your 360 wirelessly then you can your Xbox One. As far as your TV digital that doesn't mean its an HDTV. How is your Xbox 360 connected to your old TV, if your using red white and yellow cables that means its SD. What make and model
    is your TV?

    I don't think so. If it did, I don't think they would have released a new one, which connects your Xbox One wireless controller to a PC running Windows.

  5. No, if you could connect the Xbox One controller to the PC using that adapter, you'd also be able to use the Xbox One controller on the 360 and vise versa; which we know you cannot do.

    My controller keeps disconnecting mid game

    Is this an Xbox One controller, or an Xbox 360 controller? If it's an Xbox One controller, are you connecting wirelessly to the PC via Bluetooth, or with the Xbox Wireless Adapter?

    Xbox 360 Controller does not work on my PC ?

    Xbox 360 controllers will not connect wirelessly to a computer. If you are trying to use a Play-and-Charge cable to connect through USB, that is not what it is designed for and won't be compatible. If you really want to use an xbox controller on your computer
    I would recommend either purchasing an adapter build to do this, or one of the controllers out there that are built for PC.
