Can you use a wierd controller and wireless one together at the same time on xbox 1s

Hi, I'm , an Independent advisor and I can surely help you.

Don't worry we will work on this together. Just to make sure, what's the model of the wired controller that you're trying to use?

You can use any combination of up to eight input devices at the same time

I have the same problem with both controllers only seen as Player 1. They are both the black MS Xbox 360 wired controller. I tried all the ports, one at a time, together, on, off etc. Nothing works. I can only use one wireless and one wired if I want
2 players but not 2 wired together. Help! Is there a fix? Otherwise I will return the wired controllers and buy just wireless.

Hi Brian! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

Based on the Xbox support article, it says "With Xbox Wireless connections, you can connect 8 Xbox Wireless Controllers at the same time, or 4 controllers that have Xbox Chat Headsets attached. If the controllers have Xbox Stereo Headsets, only 2 can be connected at the same time."

You actually only need one Xbox wireless adapter to connect multiple controllers. If you want to use two adapaters in one single PC, it may work but if it confuses the system, you must unplug the other one.

Hi Kat,

Thanks for coming to the forums. The controller will only sync with one device at time. You can use it for multiple devices just not at same time.

Hope this helps.
