Connect Xbox controller to Windows 10 via Bluetooth

PercentSnail00 · Jun 18, 2018

Hi, I want to connect my Xbox controller to a PC wirelessly using only Bluetooth without any special adapter.

There are several models for the controller... which will support this functionality?

4N6-00002 (black color)

6CL-00002 (black color)

WL3-00028 (red color)

WL3-00090 (combat tech color)

Thank you.

:)

Problem with my controler Xbox one Bluetooth

Hello Cerfvoyage4344,

If you haven't already done so, may I suggest following up with "Connect and troubleshoot Bluetooth on your
Xbox One Wireless Controller" . If you continue to have a problem connecting via Bluetooth, I would be curios if the controller works with your PC using the USB port, "How
to connect an Xbox One Wireless Controller to a Windows PC" . Let us know if this helps.

Windows 10 automatically installs driver and pair with an Xbox One Wireless Controller

Hi. I am having some problems with my Xbox One Wireless Controller and Windows 10 laptop connection. I hope you can help me, below are the details of the issue.

1. When I turn on bluetooth, Windows 10 automatically installs driver for a Xbox Wireless Controller even if my controller is still switched off. I tried removing the paired controller from the devices but everytime I restart bluetooth it reinstalls again.

2. When I try to connect my Xbox Wireless Controller to laptop via bluetooth, Windows 10 cannot detect the controller. I can only use my controller via wired usb connection.

I have installed this before and works perfectly via bluetooth, now I can only use the controller via wired usb connection.

Hi,

All of those controllers support Bluetooth connectivity, so, as long as your PC has Bluetooth, you can use them via Bluetooth wireless on a PC/laptop. If your device does not have Bluetooth, you'll need an adaptor.

4N6-00002 is marketed as an Xbox One controller for Windows. This controller also comes with micro USB to standard USB cable.

Hi shuangzhou1,

Thanks for your post. I understand your controller is having issues with connecting via Bluetooth to your Windows 10 PC. To troubleshoot this, check out this article:

Is your windows 10 or 11?

Try deleting your controller in windows, and then connecting via bluetooth again.

Yes, I'm trying to connect my controller via Bluetooth on my Windows 10 PC (It worked before yesterday). When I connect my controller via USB Cable it works fine.

The XBox Button flashing slowly when it's turn on. When I press the sync button to connect via Bluetooth, the XBox Button flashes for 1 second and the controller turn off.

Hey GiddyCosine4817!

As Geth mentioned, Bluetooth connection to a Windows 10 device will work just fine for Xbox One controllers, depending on the model of the controller. Certain older Xbox One controllers do not support Bluetooth connections.

If you need help determining if your controller can connect via Bluetooth, check out the info under "Option 3" in our guide for

how to connect an Xbox One wireless controller to a Windows PC.

Hi G.Behr,

It is recommended to only connect 1 controller to your PC via Bluetooth. Connecting more than 1 controller to your device with Bluetooth may be possible, but performance can vary depending on your PC.

That information can be found here listed in the table:

I hope this helps with making your decision.
