Set up a wired controller on Windows 10

Follow these steps to install your Xbox 360 wired controller on Windows 10:

1. Plug the Xbox 360 controller into any USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on the computer.
2. Windows 10 will automatically install drivers for your controller, so you won't have to download or install software other than Windows 10 updates. Once you see the pop-up notification that the drivers have been installed, you can use your controller.
   
3. Open a game or the Xbox app and test your controller by pressing a button, pulling a trigger, or moving a stick on the controller.
   

Notes

• If your Xbox 360 wired controller is not detected by your PC, try plugging it into a different USB port, and then test it again.
  
• If your controller still does not work, check that Windows 10 is fully updated. Install any updates and then try again.
  
• Refer to your game documentation for information about how to configure the Xbox 360 controller for a specific game
  

 

Xbox One Controller on PC Help!

Perhaps the controller might need some calibration?

Assuming you're using Windows 10, try to find calibration settings for your controller in the hardware/device list.

Here's a guide with pictures:

NOTE: The above link uses an Xbox 360 controller with Windows 10. You may find the same or similar settings for the Xbox One controller.

Hope this helps!

 

Hey BulbaForce,

Let's check this out. Officially, there is this nifty support guide for setting up the Xbox 360 controller for a PC:

support.xbox.com/.../xbox-controller-for-windows-setup

Now, if you read the top of that guide, there's a note that this controller will definitely work for the Windows 10, so there are no worries there. There's a section specifically for

setting up the controller for Windows 10. Windows 10 automatically downloads the necessary drivers. With that in mind, are you sure that the drivers aren't already installed? Have you tested this controller out in any games?

If it's not working, let's make sure that your Windows 10 device is fully updated. You can find out how to check for that with this Windows 10 FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-10/windows-update-faq

I asked to one of my friends and he told me i need a controller with a permanent cable

Is that true ?

I mean, i need to buy this one
www.amazon.it/.../ref=sr_1_2 cause the controller with his recharge cable is not able to connect it to my pc ?

Thank you very much

 

Thanks for asking! I have the just straight up wired controller and it's an easy setup for me, but if you aren't looking to dump money into yet another controller model, the link for setting up the 360 controller to your PC has some info towards the end
in that guide about the wireless controller setup.

"Note A standard Xbox 360 wireless controller can be connected to a Windows PC, but you must have an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver to play games, even if you have an Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit."

So you definitely can use your wireless controller, it just requires the adapter. There's more on that here:

support.xbox.com/.../xbox-360-wireless-gaming-receiver-windows

 

Thank you very much , i'm gonna analyse the options and seee what's the cheaper One

Thank you very much

 

No problem, Bulba. Have a great one!
