    Elite Controller V1, frequent disconnections due to distance/wall, will a "USB over...


    Greetings.

    I have an "Elite controller V1" and I connect it to my PC, via the "Windows wireless adapter dongle". I have the older-bigger version(HK9-00004).

    I experience a lot of disconnections while gaming and I also have frequent sound loss, whenever I have my headphones plugged in onto the controller.

    The distance from the dongle to my controller is a little less than 3 metres(9.84 feet), but unfortunately there is a rather thick wall between them, as they are located in a different room. So I presume the distance/wall, to be the culprit.

    I tried using a 5 metres(16.40 feet) USB extension cable, as this is around the minimal cable length needed, to bring the dongle to the other room(the ideal would be around 8-10 metres 26.24-32.80 feet), but this doesn't work.

    On the internet, I've seen some people suggesting the use of a "USB over Ethernet Extension Adapter cable". Like this one for example, that doesn't need external power USB2.0 RJ45 Extension Adapter or like this one that needs external power WEme USB 2.0 Extender to RJ45 .



    But I haven't seen anywhere a definite confirmation, that the controller will work wirelessly with the "Windows wireless adapter dongle" plugged on a cable extension like that. In a picture on the second link, it insinuates that the controller will work, but it shows it only being used wired.

    So I would like to ask some questions:

    1) Can someone confirm that a solution like this, will definitely work wirelessly with the dongle.

    2) I can't seem to find affordable extensions of that nature, higher than USB 2.0. What is the "Windows wireless adapter dongle" specification, is it a USB 2.0 or higher? I cannot find information for it anywhere.

    3) Does anyone have a better/alternative solution/suggestion?

    4)Some time in the future, I am thinking of buying the "Elite V2 controller". I understand that it has a wider wireless range. Will it work better/without disconnections with the dongle on my current set-up, or is the wider range capability via Bluetooth only? And finally, will the "Elite V2 controller" work with the older dongle version I have, or does it need the new smaller one?

    Thank you, in advance.

    :)

    Greetings.

    The Elite V1 does not support bluetooth. It can only connect to a computer using an Xbox Wireless USB Adapter stick, and that's what the sync button on the controller is for. You can however still use the controller via USB cable.

    Frequent disconnects

    For a wired connection that is frequently disconnecting I would suggest checking the wire itself. Sometimes a kink in it, a bad or old wire can cause disconnects or if the wire is long. The longer the signal has to travel sometimes it gets very weak. I have
    experienced this before, even with a good wire, long distance was causing a disconnect very frequently. For wireless it would be probably due to your signal strength based on how far away your console is from the the wireless router.

    Controller has hard time connecting to XBOX

    Start with the basics at
    support.xbox.com/.../wireless-controller-disconnects-frequently-or-cannot-connect
    . If you have to connect the usb cable to the wireless controller it may be a power issue. Not 100% sure but I think the usb cable only provides power it does not provide a
    communication channel. Meaning, even if you connect the wireless with the usb charging cable all the communication is still happening via wireless.

    Lousy Buttons

    What controller are you referring to standard controller V1 or V2, or the elite more expensive controllers v1 or v2? All joysticks have issues sometimes it does happen even with the dualshock5 it can be many things like wear and tear and other reasons
    sadly.
