  2. Connecting wireless controller

    Hey. I am also having trouble with my Xbox 360 controller. It isn't connecting when I try to use it. And do you mean to unplug my Xbox 360 E from my power strip when you say, "Killing the power strip"?

    360 play and charge kit on PC/Windows RT

    Hi guys, I was hoping to use my 360 controller on my pc and tablet. So I tried connecting via play and charge usb adapter.

    Is the play and charge kit adapter literally for charging only, or is it supposed to allow input to the pc so I can play?

    In the charms pc settings pc devices, it shows up as Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play & Charge kit. It also says that exact same line in Device Manager under Xbox 360 peripherals. But on both PC and tablet I can't actually get it to provide input. The
    jewel on the controller will never lock into a player one led, it just flashes.

    Here's a screen grab of my pc settings with it being detected. While this screen grab is from my pc, it exactly the same on windows rt.

    I would love to use my xbox one controller on windows RT but it isnt supported which really sucks so that's why I need help using a 360 controller.

    Connecting an Xbox 360 controller to an Xbox One X for split screen play

    I want to play an Xbox 360 game with split-screen on my Xbox One X. For the primary account signed in, I can use the wireless Xbox One controller that came with my Xbox One X. But I would like a guest to be able to use one of my Xbox 360 controllers, as
    I only have one Xbox One controller. I have a 3rd party (USB) wired and other official wireless Xbox 360 controllers.

    I tried using both of these Xbox 360 controllers to try and connect to the Xbox One X using the sync feature but none of them connected. The lights on the Xbox 360 controllers just flash infinitely.

    I did hear that Xbox 360 controllers are not compatible with Xbox One’s but does this apply to the Xbox One X as well?

    I also tried using the stream Xbox → Windows 10 feature and plugged in my 3rd party USB Xbox 360 controller to my PC which did connect to my Xbox though streaming, however it kept overriding my Xbox One controller by connecting as player 1. I
    need it so one of them is player 1 and the other as player 2 so two of us can play split screen.

    Is this at all possible, using an Xbox One and Xbox 360 controller?

    Thanks.
    Maybe you can achieve this using console streaming to PC and connecting both controller to your PC, so the PC have 2 different controllers plugged in and you can use with 2 different player.

    As additional info, every Xbox One wireless controller can work as a wired one using a simple USB cable.

    Hi there,

    in order to connect a wireless Xbox 360 controller to a PC you will require a wireless receiver, the 360 controllers do not support bluetooth.
    Please see this link for the exact steps on how to use a 360 controller and wireless receiver on a PC:

    Xbox 360 controller is not working in my pc

    Hi there,

    as far as I remember, a play and charge cable is only used to charge the battery it isn't used for any communication purposes between PC and controller. To use the controller you would need a wireless receiver (specifically for Xbox 360 controllers) to be able to use the controller on a PC.

    The following link will have some more information about Xbox 360 controllers and what is needed to connect them to a PC:
