Issue with Bluetooth controller game streaming

Hi Pickle Rick8898,

I want to clarify what controllers have Bluetooth and which ones don't so there is no confusion. The original controller accompanying the original Xbox One console or the original Xbox Elite Wireless Controller (Series 1) does not support Bluetooth. Controllers
made after 2017 and controllers accompanying the Xbox One S or Xbox One X console, Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, or Xbox Design Lab controller support Bluetooth. A diagram showing what controllers have Bluetooth support and which ones don't can
be found here:

If you have the original Elite controller, you cannot use that to connect to your phone via Bluetooth. If you have the Elite Series 2 controller, then you should be able to. The forums is a place to give advice or help troubleshoot an issue. If you have
a controller that supports Bluetooth, can you further explain what happens when trying to pair the controller to your mobile device? Do you have an Android or iOS mobile device?

So long as its paired correctly through the Xbox Game Streaming App, then yes, the Elite and Elite Series 2 controllers should both work on a mobile device via Bluetooth and wireless pairing on Android.

it's not latency or connection issues, it's buttons/sticks not working in some games when connecting the xbox controller with bluetooth

halo infinite / forza horizon 3,4,5 work with no issues over bluetooth. mirror's edge, the first one, doesn't. but i dont have this issue with ds4windows or 8bitdo bluetooth connections.

so i believe the xbox controller bluetooth drivers could be improved on windows. a lot.

Hello Shadow,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We understand you are having issue with controller. Here is a

guide for Bluetooth. There are pictures that show how to tell if your controller is Bluetooth or not. Not all Xbox controllers are Bluetooth.

On Bluetooth-supported controllers, the plastic around the Xbox button
 is part of the face of the controller. On controllers without Bluetooth, the plastic around the
Xbox button  is part of the top, where the bumpers are.

Thanks,

Brad

This is a very common problem. Depending on your phone/tablet version will determine whether you can connect your controller. For example, android users must make sure their phone version is 6.0 or higher with a Bluetooth version of 4.0. While I
am unsure of the ios requirements, I hope this helped.

That is definitely not the issue as both devices are on android 10 and bluetooth 4 and the controller works fine with both the phone and tablet with all other apps the issue is specifically while using the xbox streaming app.
