    Need help connecting Xbox 360 Controller to PC (Wired)


    Apologies in advance if this isn't in the proper section.

    Youtube videos, written tutorials, and a tech savvy younger brother can't figure out what's wrong, thus I turn to you, forum. I've been trying to connect my Xbox 360 controller to my PC. I downloaded the accessories status driver from the main site for Win
    7 (64 bit), the driver for the controller itself installed without issues, but every time I connect the controller to the PC itself, and press the big silver and green center button, all it does is flash all four quadrants at me in a manner that can be best
    described as mockingly.

    I've tried it with two different controllers, both work without issue on my 360 no problem, it's just somewhere along the way, something either doesn't translate or maybe I'm a big freakin' idiot and didn't do the Very Important Thing that everyone but me
    knows.

    Anyway, thanks for reading this and double thanks if you have a suggestion for how to get this thing working. If there are any other details I need to provide, let me know, I might need a tutorial on how to provide it, but I'll do so to the best of my ability.

    :)

    How to set up and use the Xbox 360 Chatpad

    You can easily chat with your friends on Xbox LIVE using the Xbox 360 Chatpad. The Chatpad is very helpful for sending text messages quickly.

    How to connect the Xbox Chatpad to a controller


    To connect the Xbox Chatpad to a controller, follow the steps below:

    • First, you need to turn the controller and the Xbox 360 Chatpad so that the bottom of each faces up.
    • The chatpad connector plug needs to be aligned with the controller’s expansion port. You have to align the two posts on the chatpad with the holes on the controller.
    • Finally, you need to push the chatpad onto the controller with even pressure to attach. You have to ensure that there is no gape between the chatpad and the controller.
    You can also connect an Xbox 360 Wired Headset or a mobile phone headset with the Xbox 360 Chatpad. To connect a headset, you need to plug it into the 2.5-mm audio jack on the chatpad.

    Notes:


    • You can connect the Xbox 360 Chatpad with both the Xbox 360 wired or wireless controllers.
    • But you cannot use the Xbox 360 Chatpad with a controller connected to a personal computer.

    Laptop not detecting xbox 360 wired controller

    Are you sure the Xbox 360 is a wired Xbox 360 controller, and not connected by a separate cable like the play and charge cable? If it is the play and charge cable, it will not work on Windows 10, as it only charges the batteries on a PC. If it is a actual
    wired controller, then Windows 10 should detect and then download the drivers if needed.

    how can i connect the xbox 360 controller to windows 10

    To connect a Xbox 360 wireless controller to your PC you need the Xbox 360 wireless controller adapter for Windows. https://bit.ly/3e2eUTF

    To connect a Xbox 360 wired controller to your PC, just plug in the USB plug into the USB socket on your PC.

    xbox 360 controller not working on PC

    Is the controller a wireless controller or wired? If it is wireless, how are you connecting it? If by using the play & charge kit, then the Xbox 360 controller will not work, as the cable is only recognized on PC for charging only. You need to use a Xbox
    360 Wireless adapter for PC to connect a wireless Xbox 360 controller to your PC.

    Can I use Original Xbox360 controller on pc (the controller of the xbox360)?

    If the Xbox 360 controller is a wired controller, then the controller can be used on the PC, just plug it in the USB port, and it should recognize it and let you use it. If it is a wireless Xbox 360 controller, then you will need the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows to connect the controller to your PC.
