How to get my xbox controller to work with PC gaming.

Hi Cole!

Sorry to hear about what happened. When did it stop working? Is your controller connected wirelessly via adapter or bluetooth?

Please make sure to follow the steps in connecting your controller to PC here https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/...

To further isolate the issue, try connecting your controller using a USB cable to see if it works fine with your Xbox app or games. I recommend to check and try all the troubleshooting steps through this link like updating your controller firmware to the latest version using the Xbox Accessories app, etc.

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.

So I just posted a reply to the Microsoft agent, BUT! decided to run my own tests and I think I just figured out a work around! (I'll have to play for a bit longer later tonight to fully confirm its working)

So I was experiencing the exact issue you described so I tried to connect my controller to my PC and it actually works, though of course there was a small bit of lag. Then I figured out a way to get it without lag. (restarted Xbox and PC) I grabbed an extra controller (2nd controller) updated it on my Xbox, then disconnected it. connected my primary controller to my Xbox normally. started Cyberpunk, then started the stream, connected the 2nd controller to my PC, on the 2nd controller moved around a bit to test (confirm its working), then on the 2nd controller held down the Xbox button and turned off the controller (keeping it plugged into my PC) clicked continue anyway on the Xbox app, and picked up my primarily controller and it was working!!!!

1. Start Cyberpunk and start remote play (primary controller is connected to your Xbox)

2. Connect a second controller to your PC, move the cursor around a bit to make sure

3. On second controller hold Xbox button and turn off controller, keep it plugged into your PC

4. Click continue playing on the Xbox app

5. Pick up your primary controller and test it.

If that doesn't work plug your primary controller into your pc and it should work with a small amount of lag, its not bad and you'll get used to it. (Good thing the game isn't a online game lol)
