  1. My Macbook doesn’t recognize my Xbox Wireless Controller as an usb device


    I have parallels Windows as a second OS, and i can access it pretty well, however, it cannot recognize my controller using bluetooth nor by an usb adapter whatsoever, and when i did a research, i found out that the main problem was, my mac didn’t show my controller in any of ports available at all, therefore i couldn’t use it in windows, However, i can connect the device via bluetooth. Then, when i looked for solutions, i found one, where i would need to download drivers, but i haven’t found any so far. So, my question: where can i download a driver or what other solutions should i are there?

    :)

    Hi Andriy! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    Currently there's not a official driver by Xbox to use the controller on Apple devices, officially the only way to connect the controller is trough Bluetooth, you can see more information about that here

    On the web exist some unofficial drivers that you can find but this are not recommended by Xbox as it's not official content from Xbox and could damage your device

    Xbox One controller is not working

    My computer running Windows 10 doesn’t recognize Xbox One controller. I plugged in an Xbox controller to the USB slot but I saw it vibrating, the lights flashing but it didn’t work. I did some troubleshooting such as running
    the device troubleshooter, trying to use another USB slot. I also cannot see the controller in the device manager.

    It is 1697 model.

    XBOX One 무선 컨트롤러 PC 인식 오류 -[Translation - XBOX One wireless controller PC recognition error]

    I connected the XBOX ONE wireless controller to my Windows 10 laptop via USB connection, but it is not recognized.

    It vibrates when connected, and when you press the X button on the center of the pad, the button lights up, but it is not recognized.

    When I went into Device Manager,

    Unknown USB device (request device descriptor failed)

    in one's character

    'The device has stopped because this device has reported a problem. (Code 43)

    Request to USB device descriptor failed.'

    It says.

    + Drivers are up to date with the latest updates.

    How can I use the pad on my PC?
