Help figuring out the type of adapter I could use to connect an accessory to XBOX One...

Hi there Carmidian,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is a question with the adaptive controller accessories. For more information, I recommend to check out the following resource articles:

• Connect external devices to the Xbox Adaptive Controller
• What external devices work with the Xbox Adaptive Controller?
• Customize the Xbox Adaptive Controller in the Xbox Accessories app

Hope this helps.

Click Start, type: xbox accessories

Launch the Xbox Accessories app.

Connect your Xbox One Wireless Controller by using a USB cable or the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.

When the controller is connected, you'll see the message “Update Required” if an update is mandatory. Install the update.

Hello! I am an Independent Advisor, I would love to help you out!

Did you buy this online? Could you send me the link to what you bought if you did?

Did you get the wireless adapter for windows as well?

It would look like this:

Hey there Roy,

Yes the Xbox Adaptive Controller is compatible with Windows 10 computers and also with Windows 8.1 & Windows 7 Pc's but will have limited functionality. Click on the following link for different ways to

Connect the Xbox Adaptive Controller to a PC.

Once you have connected the controller then you can go ahead and
Customize the Xbox Adaptive Controller in the Xbox Accessories app and remap the buttons on the controller. The two circular pads on the controller are simply buttons, they do not have any tech that will allow you to use swiping features to type or to be
used as the cursor for the PC.

When Gaming on a PC using the Adaptive controller you should still see the on-screen keyboard to type messages, You would then use the d-pad or joysticks to type just as you would with a standard Xbox One Controller.

The adaptive controller should respond to a toe's touch as the buttons on it are pretty sensitive. In order to get more functionality you can attach different devices using the 3.5mm ports on the back of the controller so that you can then Map these to specific
functions. You can take a look at the following support article for more information on

Connecting external devices to the Xbox Adaptive Controller.

I hope this helps.

Hi there SquarerRumble24!

Thanks for reaching out!
I'm sorry to hear that the controller may be over the 90 day warranty.

Check out this troubleshooting article:
Replacing a broken Xbox One controller.

One thing I would suggest is trying to
Set up and use the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter.
This adapter will allow you to connect the 3.5mm jack from the headset.

Hope this helps.
