How many controllers will the Xbox one Wireless PC Adapter will be able to connect to at a time?

I keep hearing that it will only be able to connect to one controller at a time.

Bluetooth controllers

After extensive testing with a new Xbox One controller I recently purchased (This model:

www.xbox.com/.../lunar-white-wireless-controller ), it seems that I was not able to connect. The Microsoft Support page (

support.xbox.com/.../connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc ) explains with images down the page that certain Xbox controllers have Bluetooth support while others do not. While my controllers does match the one with Support in the image, I have figured that
only the new Xbox One S controllers have Bluetooth support (Listed in description:

www.xbox.com/.../xbox-wireless-controller ), despite the image shown. The best way to connect non-Bluetooth controllers is to use the Windows wireless adapter (

www.xbox.com/.../windows-wireless-adapter ) the adapter has benefits over Bluetooth, like being able to use your headsets, or connect multiple controllers, while connection through Bluetooth only allows for one controller at a time.

Well since it hasn't come out yet I doubt anyone really knows. A Mico-USB cables works just fine though and you aren't required to have Windows 10.

Has a release date been announced yet?

Many PC games let you play with an Xbox Wireless Controller instead of a keyboard or mouse. You can connect your controller to a Windows PC by using a USB cable, the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, or over Bluetooth. Some PCs also come with Xbox
Wireless built in, so you can connect a controller directly without an adapter. For more info: https://support.xbox.com/en-CA/xbox-on-windows/accessories/connect-xbox-one-controller-to-pc

Is this an Xbox One controller, or an Xbox 360 controller? If it's an Xbox One controller, are you connecting wirelessly to the PC via Bluetooth, or with the Xbox Wireless Adapter?

It's the Microsoft adapter:

Observe how the copy says:

With the new and improved Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10, you can play your favorite PC games using any Xbox Wireless Controller.

Note that it says any XBox Wireless controller. If it only works for XBox One controllers, that is, at the very least, misleading.

It appears that I will have to avail myself of the "hassle-free returns" policy.

Hiya!

Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to answer your questions.

1. You can use your Xbox 360 wireless controller adapter only for your Xbox 360 controller and not your Xbox One.

2. The Xbox One wireless controller can only work with the Xbox One controllers on your windows 10 PC.

3. It depends on which wireless adapter you use for the PC. Here is a link on the

compatibility for wireless adapter for Xbox One controller to PC.

I hope I was able to answer your question. Please let us know how we did.

Happy Gaming!

Paul Xbox Forums Team!
