    Play and charge kit wont connect controller to pc


    So today i bought a xbox one controller and a "play and charge kit" to play games on my pc (my old xbox 360 controller broke) and for some reason the controller wont connect to my pc, when im using the charger. However it does work with my phone charger.
    The problem is that my phone charger isnt long enough. The controller is charging with the regular charger though, but isnt connected like with the phone charger.

    So my question is: Why dont the regular "play and charge kit" charger work?

    :)

    Xbox 360 controller for Windows 8.1

    The Play and Charge kit doesn't allow a wireless controller to connect to a PC as a game pad. You'll need the wireless gaming receiver for a wireless controller to connect.

    strange things are a foot

    @RagMan85 Do you keep you controller connected to the console via play n' charge kit. It may stay on to charge the controller. This is what happens to me, but I disconnect the play n' charge kit before it turns off so it wont do this.

    Play & Charge Kit

    Yes it will. You can connect the controller to your PC via WiFi or Bluetooth and can connect via your plug and charge kit to charge the batteries while you're playing.

    But for playing on PC you don't even need the play and charge kit, you can just connect your controller via micro USB cable to your PC even if your batteries are drained as while connected via USB it wont use batteries.

    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.

    Xbox 360 controller will turn on xbox but won't "connect"

    Have you tried connecting the controller with the play and charge kit. The kit automatically syncs the controller to the xbox.
