    How to connect Xbox wired controller to Xbox when not working?


    Xbox controller won’t connect to Xbox.

    When I plug the cable from the back of my Xbox into the controller the white light switch turns on for a split second then turns off. How do I fix this?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    Good evening

    Have you tested the controller on another device to see if the problem isn't with the controller or the cable?

    is the remote original?

    Try updating the firmware and see if that fixes it.

    Controller won't sync to my xbox

    Everytime i press the button to sync the controller the xbox sign dont blink and when i tried it with the wire it also didnt work. How do I get it to sync?
    if you have a USB cable then plug it into the xbox and the controller and it should connect.

    Will the Xbox One ever get a Wired controller to plug into the USB ports?

    ^^Yep. A while before the Xbox One launch, MS was granted a patent on a wireless controller that turns into a wired one when connected with a cable.

    When the Xbox One controller is connected to the console via a USB cable, the commands are sent through the cable, rather than through wireless, and you can test that by removing the batteries and you'll find it still works. So, the answer to your question
    is almost certainly no, as there is no need for a separate wired controller as the one you already have already works as both a wired and wireless controller. :)

    Hiya!

    Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to assist with the issue, it looks like you're trying to get a Xbox 360 controller to work on your pc. How is this controller connecting to your PC? Is it a wired controller or wireless controller? If it's a wireless 360
    controller there is a wireless dongle that would be needed to have the controller work on PC. Please let us know.

    Happy Gaming!

    This is wired USB controller. I think that wire is broken.

    Sorry for bad English.

    xbox 360 controller not working on PC

    Is the controller a wireless controller or wired? If it is wireless, how are you connecting it? If by using the play & charge kit, then the Xbox 360 controller will not work, as the cable is only recognized on PC for charging only. You need to use a Xbox
    360 Wireless adapter for PC to connect a wireless Xbox 360 controller to your PC.
