    One Xbox One S Controller syncs on wireless adaptor but another doesn't


    Hello,

    So I recently bought another controller for my PC so my friends and I can have two player games.

    My Xbox One controller that came with my Wireless adaptor works flawlessly.

    However, when I try to sync the newer controller I bought (which came without a wireless adaptor), it just doesn't do it. They are the exact same type of controller as far as I can work out, just the newer one is grey and green.

    It is really frustrating. Can anybody assist?

    Cheers.

    :)

    Xbox One Controller - connect to 2 machines

    Yes but a couple of conditions.... If the controller is one of the newer xbox one S type controllers what is wireless for window it will connect via bluetooth to a windows laptop. If not you will need to get controller adaptor for windows but it might
    be easier to get a new controller what works with windows. The other thing will be you might have to sync to the different device when you want to use it.

    Xbox wireless adaptor for Window 10 is rubbish

    By the time my game loads the controller loses sync to the Xbox wireless adaptor for Windows. The Xbox wireless adaptor for Windows has a solid light on it. When I hold the sync button on the Xbox wireless adaptor for Windows it never blinks. Xbox
    wireless adaptor for Windows does not work. Next I unplug the Xbox wireless adaptor for Windows and plug it back in, then the light never turns on again. More junk, rubbish, trash made by Microsoft.

    Xbox One Wireless Controller

    Hi,

    You can use a standard Bluetooth adaptor. The Microsoft wireless adaptor for Xbox One/Series X|S controllers doesn't use Bluetooth.

    If you want standard connectivity then you can use a BT USB dongle (or built in BT if your device has this). The Microsoft adaptor offers more features such as the use of more than one controller, and the usage of your controller's headphone socket while wireless.

    Adaptador Windows para controle Xbox Series S/X

    Hello,

    There isn't a specific adaptor for the Series X/S controllers for PC. The current adaptor works just fine with these newer controllers, however it is now in very short supply. There are third party ones available that do the same thing.

    The Xbox 360 wireless controllers use a different WIFI protocol, they need their own Xbox 360 wireless Gaming Receiver.

    Xbox One and Series X/S controllers can be connected to PC via Bluetooth, but headsets will only work with the Xbox One adaptor (or a third party version), they won't work when the controller is connected via BT
