Minecraft typing with controller not working.

Not really no, for instance you can play warframe with a mouse and keyboard or you can play with a controller, it's just a matter of preference. Also, a lot of people would like to type messages with a keyboard or in a specific instance (like Minecraft's
"Book an Quill") type chapters or stories WITHOUT using a controller.

Thanks for trying the steps! Minecraft comes with a built-in repair tool so let’s try running the troubleshooter to fix this error.

Press Windows Key + R to open Run.

Type control and click OK.

In Control Panel, go to Programs > Programs and Features.

Select Minecraft installation and click on Repair/Change.

Follow the on-screen instructions to repair the Minecraft launcher.

Yeah man I'm having the same problem, pop up keyboard doesn't load, home button won't work on any controller, and even letters are missing in the "suggestions" box like if I type Minecraft it looks like this "M e a ft" it's so weird and I hate it.

Is this the Bedrock edition of Minecraft you're trying to play, or is this the Java edition? Those would be different solutions to get the controller to work.

I'm understanding your setup is a PC with Xbox 360 wireless controller receiver, an Xbox 360 controller, and Minecraft. The controller is working for other titles on the PC, but not so in Minecraft, correct? I am GUESSING that it's the Java version, because
I do know that the Bedrock edition has built in controller support. The Java edition would require additional mods to make it work, and if so, I would recommend reviewing the Official Minecraft forums for the best solutions that have mods from a trustworthy
site.
