My new wired controller isn't working.

NekoPeaches · Jan 1, 2024

When I plug my controller in it vibrates, but it won't turn on. Yesterday it started to only connect when the chord was in a certain position, but now it won't turn on at all. I've tried using different USB chords but it still doesn't work.

Hello NekoPeaches! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Which controller is this?

Do you know if the controller is in warranty?

I've updated the driver and used this controller on other PCs with windows 11 and the problem still persists.

The information of my system is attached below:

Hi

If your controller isn't working on other PC running Windows 11 it tells me something is wrong with your controller.

There aren't any compatibility issues with older Xbox 360 controllers and Windows 11. I've just tried my old Xbox 360 wired controller in my brand new Windows 11 based PC and it works fine. The fact that it isn't working now is likely coincidental.

Thanks MildewySundew70, worked like a charm. I've been at this for a couple of hours. New the controller worked on both my xbox and my other laptop, a Toshiba, but my alienware 14x wouldn't accept it. BTW my controller was a wired one. so it works one both
wireless and wired.

Hi,

You should be able to. From my own experience, my old 360 controller has worked fine on Android. Quite a few games actually support controllers from the get go. Real Racing 3 worked straight away.

Since the 360 isn't Bluetooth, you'll need to connect a wired controller to the USB port. And, it
must be a true wired controller, play and charge won't work.
