How to connect new controller to microsoft windows controller adapter?

Hello Quinquadrate,

I asume you are talking about the official Xbox Wireless Adapter Controller.

Is that is true, you can follow the steps described in here for connecting it : https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/...ories/xbox-wireless-adapter-for-windows-setup

If not, the other solution is :

Plug the Wireless Adapter to your PC

Connect your Xbox One Controller to your PC via USB cable

When the controller is connected, unplug the USB cable from the controller

At this point, the controller should be paired with your Wireless Adapter (or at least, that works for me everytime!)

Try everything in this guide to help solve your problem.

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.

If it's a wired controller, then just connect via the USB connection, and Windows should install the driver for you. If it is wireless controller, then you will need the official Xbox 360 wireless controller adapter for PC.

Hi PC,

Thanks for updating us with your reply! The smallish button that is on the front of the controller is the "bind" or "sync" button that is used to wirelessly connect the controller to your console or, in this case, your PC via the wireless adapter. You may
