Getting the Xbox One Chatpad to work wirelessly via Bluetooth on Windows 10

Jacob Woolery · Mar 20, 2024

I am wondering if it is possible to get the Xbox One Chatpad to work wirelessly via Bluetooth. When I connect the controller it never works unless I plug it in. Not only that but when I try to update the Chatpad, it gives me an error every time. Is there a way I can successfully update my Chatpad and be able to use it via Bluetooth on my Windows 10 PC?

Hi Jacob, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry, but controllers connected via Bluetooth do not support any attachments.

Have you tried to update it while it was connected to your controller?

Hi, I believe the Bluetooth capability is intended to connect the controller to your PC using Bluetooth.

•Bluetooth does not support any attachments, such as headsets, chatpads, or the Xbox Stereo Adapter.

Only a couple months. I have another Windows 10 PC I setup in the house. I'm going to connect to that with XBOX Accessories kit to see what happens there. It adds and works perfectly fine via the Bluetooth. If worse comes to worst, I can play on it via Bluetooth wirelessly. I just prefer the better reliability that direct input provides. Plus, at this point, I just want it to work because I'd like it to work properly. Hardware was too expensive to not work correctly after a couple of months.

Das bezieht sich auf die Nutzung des Elite 2 Controllers mit Windows 7/8.1 Betriebssystemen.

Eine Liste der nicht unterstützten Funktionen für Android und Windows 7/8.1 findest Du auf dieser Seite:

https://support.xbox.com/xbox-on-wi...ller-differences-on-windows-operating-systems

Beispielsweise kannst Du über den Xbox Wireless Adapter für Windows 10 oder via Bluetooth den Controller drahtlos mit Windows 10 Verbinden. Bei Windows 7/8.1 wird diese Art der drahtlosen Verbindung "nicht unterstützt".

Ebenso wird angeschlossenes Controllerzubehör (z.B. das Chatpad) nicht über eine Bluetooth Verbindung unterstützt. Über USB oder Xbox Wireless Adapter jedoch schon.

Über den Wireless Adapter und USB Verbindung kannst Du den Game Sound an den Controller und ein dort angeschlossenes Headset übertragen. Über Bluetooth kannst Du nur Sprach Chat an das Controller Headset bekommen. Und unter Windows 7/8.1 geht generell kein
Game Sound über den Controller.

[Translation]

The "not supported" functions are in regards to Windows 7/8.1 and Android.

A list of what is or is not supported is on this website:

For example, you can connect the Elite 2 Controller wireless via Bluetooth or Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 only on Windows 10. For Windows 7/8.1 that type of wireless connection is not supported.

Additionally connected controller accessories (e.g. the Chatpad) are not supported via Bluetooth. But are supported via Xbox Wireless Adapter.

You can listen to game sound through a headset connected to the controller only via USB or Xbox Wireless Adapter. But via Bluetooth only voice chat is supported. And on Windows 7/8.1 game sound isn't possible at all through the controller.
