Connect Controller to xbox through PC

Containsfibre · Sep 19, 2016

I am trying to stream from my xbox to my windows 10 PC. I am able to connect the two and start streaming. However, my controller will not stay connected to the xbox as it is to far away. Is it possible to connect the controller to my xbox, through my PC?
If not, is there away to extend the controller range?

Xbox ONE controller with Xbox 360

If I own an Xbox 360E and an Xbox ONE wireless controller with a wireless pc adapter can I connect the Xbox ONE controller to the Xbox 360 through the pc adapter?

Connecting a xbox360 controller to a pc thru xbox360

No that is not possible to connect a controller to your PC through your console. You will need the Xbox 360 wireless USB receiver for windows or buy a pure wired USB xbox 360 controller (microsoft and 3rd party ones available and all will work).

The play and charge USB cable for xbox 360 controllers does not make a wireless controller wired as it only transfers power and not data.

You could buy an xbox one wireless controller that is newer and has bluetooth and connect it to your PC directly as seen on this page: :

You can also use an xbox one wireless controller of any type (with or without bluetooth) with a Micro USB cable on a PC as well. THAT wire does make the xbox one wireless controller act as a wired controller while connected via Micro USB.

Hello

When streaming your Xbox One to your W10 PC you can just connect your controller to your PC and play like this. W10 should have the controller drivers ready to go already, just connect your controller via a USB cable or via Bluetooth (Bluetooth is only available
if you have the new controller which comes with the Xbox One S)

You are able to use Xbox One controller through a wired connection on a PC. Here is the support

page for controller connections to PC.

Hope this helps!

Hello Silver,

We understand that the issue is persistent with the controller not connecting/pairing to the Windows PC even after connection through a USB connection.

Have you attempted to review the information provided through our Connect an Xbox Controller to a Windows PC
article?

The article has all available information for ways to sync/pair the controller and what possibilities lie in not being able to connect the two devices.

Check it out if you haven't and let us know if the information was helpful.

Best wishes!

Oh okay. Thank you for the response. I thought the app would allow the Xbox to control my desktop like a remote connection. So I'd need a bluetooth controller or a dongle, or to connect through usb on the PC. Does the same controller handle both PC and
Xbox, or would that need two different controllers?

Hi Prism,

Thanks for coming to the forums. We understand your controller will not connect to your PC any longer. We recommend going through the guide for

connect wireless controller to PC. The guide has many troubleshooting links within. Have you got a new controller, and it possibly not Bluetooth?

Thanks,

Brad
